Yours was great!
A sense of comedic "timing" (the conjunction of the dialogue with the pictures) I'm quite impressed by!
Rensslaer
(p.s. It certainly helps, having seen the movie. What percentage of people on this board have actually seen Dr. Strangelove? It's your duty now to get all the young whippersnappers to go see it before they vote!)

It's my personal opinion that people who have not seen Dr. Strangelove are not actually people to begin with, and hence don't have voting rights.

Startled me as well....:wacko: Will we reach 60 in the end?
I like the advertisements in the sigs as well.
Yep. Will you be ready in time?
60 would make it a nice contest, even by chance, only 8% will win anything, so it should make it exciting
EDIT: Thanks for all the hard work Monnikje
It will be interesting to see how the tragic/realistic ones do against the comedy ones...
But great work by everyone - excellent submissions.

That will be interesting to see yes, as it's certainly easier to read through a few comedy entry than a series of serious ones. Heh, good thing we have some time to read before we have to vote on it though.
Also, yet another rather late entry, this time by me. It was fun writing something like that again.

Someone's trying to win fan of the week.
Now I don't have an excuse to skip any of the stories.
just to be totally sure here....can anyone confirm to me that the deadline for submissions is Sunday night at midnight GMT? I'm in the final stages of preparation and i'll feel pretty dumb if the deadline is midnight Saturday night.
As I too am wrapping up my story before submission, I certainly hope we are not too late..
