Oh dear, I think we should have renamed this to either 'best style' OR 'most original'. The two aren't really the same.
I will have to think on this one... _________________ Neil Hartley Books.

My vote goes towards Dear Dotty as the Most Original, as it didn't fit the traditional view of a storygame in the slightest, the idea's it sparked led Chinaren to attempt his Against the Wall story.
That aside, Dotty's replies are always entertaining to read, even if she did take a long period off recently. _________________ Punishment leads to Fear. Fear leads to Obedience. Obedience leads to Freedom. Therefore, Punishment leads to Freedom.

Yes, after more thought it has to be DD, even if it means not voting for either of my own stories. _________________ Neil Hartley Books.

Dear Dotty gets mine on this one too. It's funny, full of wit, and at times, just a little unsettling. I have to go for it. _________________ Eadgar's Saga Chapter 2 POLL

I voted for Arms for the same reasons I stated in my nomination - 5 chapters, 1 week and done with style. _________________ The path of my life is strewn with cowpats from the Devil's own Satanic Herd!

I would say Dear Dotty too, on this one. Great idea for an interactive game, and one of the only truly experimental storygames I've seen that worked.
Good job Powers

Yep, Dear Dotty gets my vote as well. Completely original, superbly executed and very entertaining. _________________ "Humankind cannot stand too much reality" - T.S. Elliot

Voted for a different Powers creation: Abduction! Fabulous story. _________________ The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite and builds a road into Chaos and old Night, and is followed by those who hear him with something of wild, creative delight. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
