Horace James, here. I'm so psyched up about getting an honorable mention in this contest! But man, my fingernails are chewed to the second knuckle waiting for the results. 7 cents a word would have been nice. (Probably would have worked out to $.75/hour.)

Thanks.

Maybe you should link them off the original contest information page, http://chizine.com/c-stc14-pre.htm , or set up a redirect? I've been reloading that information page for two weeks, looking for any hint of the results.
