As for the issue of rules... (unnecessarily-wordy-for-MSPC-Monday-morning-reply)
Yah, honestly I don't think there is much of an issue, either way. I do understand trying to do things "right" (and by extension "on time" and "according to a set of rules") in order to facilitate the whole thing, but ultimately this is just a for-fun-thing done amongst forum-friends-friends no? :)
I wanted so much to make an entry, also, but was unsatisfied with my WIP so I can very much appreciate any and all who participated this time with their creativity. ^^
Admittedly I might be biased in my above opinion, as I myself was turned-off on doing MSPC for a long time because I wouldn't stick to the rules and would be chided about it (by a certain someone, but in the end for a good reason, I suppose.) But since then, I've think I've found a middle-ground--after all, as Lillica said there are methods to mark non-entries now. And on the other side of it, there was always the traditional "ask someone else to make up a new topic if you win" solution (made popular by many, including Poupee, I think, who inadvertently made very charming-but-not-serious entries.) ^^
Maybe Josiah could simply just ask someone (in PM perhaps) to make up the new topic (so there are no "wasted" votes, there is a satisfying winning entry that people like, etc.) since it's going in that direction no? :)
Anyhow, as for this week's voting, I'll dissent and say
Vyre...
...cos he bumped this topic so much with such enthusiastic love, made the first entry to inspire so many, and um...made me a red-head. LOL I always wanted to be a red-head. :p
