While I've kept myself from looking over the entries (I want to read them all at the same time), I don't think that's a helpful approach. Comparing yourself or your work to others is so rarely rewarding and nurturing...I'm sort both of your stories are wonderful, but in different ways ;)
I agree, it is not rewarding nor nurturing. Which is why I don't care which one is the better. I promote writing for the sake of writing. I thought of editing my reply, but eeeh... I try to be honest, or at least gladly responsible for what I say/write.
Indeed, I mean after all, it's a subjective contest, isn't it? It's about which one appeals to me, in term of prize, but that's so irrelevant, honestly, in my opinion. It's writing for its own sake, as you say, it's fun. There is no such thing as better, there's just subjective views. ;)
That does not make it a better one, nor do I really care if it is. Just wanted
to have some fun writing :)
