Interesting discussion, and good points, all.
For mine, I think the categories might be starting to get a little unruly. I know I'm a simple-minded colonial, but I find it difficult to distinguish between MILF and Mature, Quickie and Flash, Seduction and Love Stories, and Wife Lovers, Cuckold and Cheating etc. I've got a story in the pipe about a peacekeeper who has sex with a nurse in a refugee camp, so does that go in Straight Sex or Workplace?
I'm in favour of a tight group of categories up front, maybe a dozen or so, then a series of filterable, pre-defined tags (rather than free text ones).
But I'll take whatever Nicola gives me, and I'll like it.

Actually - was just thinking. Let's say they (Carol and Tyrese) happen to find out or realize that Lizzie is a psychopath. Maybe they eventually see the way she's interacting with Judith. Or maybe they learn that she was the one serving up the rats at the prison. If you identity someone as a problem or potential liability to the group - do you exile them and tell them to go fend for themselves - even if they're a kid? I mean Rick did that with Carol and it seemed reasonable. But would you be able to do that with someone of Lizzie's age? I'm not sure how I'd handle it.
PS. I'm so bummed about the way they've pushed Daryl into this new gangster offshoot at this point in the season. It seemed so abrupt.
I think Judith is a much bigger liability than Lizzie, and my money's on Carol having to decide about the baby. There's no way she'd dump Lizzie, especially now that she's got her replacement daughter back.
If it was me, I'd try and teach Lizzie some discipline, a la Dexter (which I've only just discovered). If she didn't come around and became a liability to the group, honestly, I'd kill her. Exiling a psycho would likely end up with her threatening you from the outside, or someone else. And leaving her to death by walker, is a bit too cruel. It's the lesser evil. I'd give it a red hot go to try and control her first though. There's a big difference between potential liability and liability.
Rick was a bit quick to offload Carol in my opinion. I would have given her another go. I would have killed Merle up on that roof in Season 1 though. So, swings and round abouts.
Yeah, I was so sad about Daryl. What a shit thing to happen to him. Hopefully he'll be driven to find Beth and won't go too dark before he gets the chance. As for her, do you think she got snatched by the same group, or someone different? Is there any chance she got lifted by decent people trying to get her out of dangerous territory?

Thunder and Lightning, but still no rain in post-apocalyptic Georgia.
Quite the metaphor really. Did anyone else think this was a bit of a nothing episode?
Daryl and Beth are probably my favourite characters, and I did like how Daryl challenged Beth's notable moments throughout the series, but I don't feel like I really learned anything new about either of them. Sure, he opened up and started talking, and she got some decent air time, but what else? I think they could have developed both characters just as well in a split episode like they had the other week, mixing in another couple of sub-groups of survivors to pick up the pace.
And I get he put his hillbilly demons to rest by burning down the cabin, but destroying usable shelter in a zombie apocalypse seems a bit of a dick move. I do love they set the fire with a big wad of cash though. Nice use of irony.

Congratulations to the winners, the rest of the finalists and everyone else who entered. I've only managed to read a few so far, and they were bloody fantastic! I can't wait to read the rest.
And thank you to the judges for all your hard work. As always, the front-runners are harder to pick than a broken nose.

My goal for the next two weeks is to finish this motherfucking werewolf romance story for my publisher in the US. It was due last Christmas, but I've had epic writer's block and been procrastinating here ever since. I'm going to bash out a couple hundred words tonight and hopefully generate a bit of momentum to keep going.

I don't subscribe to the "there's only one soulmate out there for you" theory.
I think there are several mutually compatible souls for everyone in this world. And you should consider yourself lucky when you find one, and not beat yourself up if one of them doesn't work.
The other half to that is that people become soulmates. They don't necessarily start out as one.
Brilliantly said.
My wife and I are soul mates. We're perfect for each other. There's no way I can't have her in my life. Now that's not to say there aren't dozens of other women out there who I'd be equally happy with, maybe even more so. But I'm the donkey she's shackled her wagon to, and that's the end of it. 'Til death do us part...the sweet release of death.
