What the fuck are you talking about, anon? I am asking why we should "use reason wisely" or "live virtuously". I am not asking about galactic superclusters or whatever the fuck. I don't give a shit about astronomy. Or should I take it that your position is that because the laws of physics exist, human beings should also therefore do X, Y or Z? That would be a non sequitur, I am quite sure.

Yeah, another person encouraged me to participate, so initially I had no hope at all. Now that I have written the story, I actually feel a bit more optimistic, but in all fairness, it's kind of sloppy on some points, especially the beginning. I should've spent a lot more time polishing it up but I am not known for my long term commitment. Thankfully, with this competition I think they'll only list the #1 winner. It's much easier to suck up not being #1 than it is to suck up not being #20. Sorry to hear your competition experience wasn't fun. I guess a couple of good things to remember is that ultimately the winner is determined by the taste of the judges, not the skill of the writer, and also, that a writer's skill can be improved radically with effort and time. If you want to write short stories, I am sure you could write top grade ones, given commitment.

Don't worry. Be happy!
