Being that the score system is kind of skewy. What you guys think?

What storys out of the top ten right now should be there and which ones should not be their?

All I can say is that I sure as hell do NOT agree with the no. 1 I know there's a lot of conflict about it, but I really don't see why this story should be the best, when other story, which are better written in every aspect, are rated lower.

Well, I guess I can't please all of the people all of the time.

Being that the score system is skewy please post in my 'log-in' voting thread, rather than just accepting that the system is flawed we need to make some noise about it and, hopefully, bring about some kind of positive change.

Perhaps you should add a condition to that, and that you cannot vote for your own story, otherwise we'll just get a bunch of people saying, oh my story should be on the top ten.

Following these rules, then, I believe that "The difference between you and me" by Ian_C, definitely should be at the top. I haven't found any that are better. I think "The loss of innocence" should go.

The reason I was wondering was because I wanted to see if my story, Deadly Misfortune, is top ten quality.

A Blind Dog and Live Cargo were my two favorites.
At least, none of the others were worth remembering by name.

The more cynical might note I have a greater passion for spelling and grammar than whatever else happens to be there to vote for.

The 2 greatest ones i read are "The Difference Between you and Me" and "He Who Dares, Wins." Written by God herself and handed down to the greatest writers on the Stalker website: Ian C and Dale.

I think that Ian C's and The loss of innocence is the best.

Great, independant Iraq War journalism: http://michaelyon.blogspot.com/

From the halls of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli'
We fight our countrys battles In the air', on land, and sea.
First to fight for right and freedom , And to keep our honor clean,
We are proud to claim the title Of United States Marines.

Our flags unfurl'd to every breeze From dawn to setting sun';
We have fought in every clime and place Where we could take a gun.
In the snow of far-off northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job - The United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Corps Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy Ever gaze on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines. - US Marines Hymn

I think I owe IanC an apology. I forgot to mention which story exactly I didn't like. It was Ben Goldman's Loss of Innocense, not IanC's The Difference.... I've seen the latter one mentioned here a few times, so I'll definitly check it out. I guess the no 1 must've changed when I posted my earlier reply, oops.
