I have tabulated up the votes and the contest is now closed. There are a LOT of spoiled ferrets out there. I will be contacting the first through third place winners via e-mail for their snail mail address so I can send them their prizes. There was a four way tie for 6th place, and a four way tie after that, so I will only publish the top nine (9) stories since I could not determine a clear winner for spot 10. the top nine stories will be reprinted over Thanksgiving weekend - something to give thanks for and relate to our friends while we are with out human families. I had fun doing this - maybe again next year. the top 9 will be printed in the next issue of STAR* Ferrets, due out mid December. Pam Grant [Posted in FML issue 1383]
