This is an awesome story using just one letter! It really is a fun challenge. I started writing one for when they have another contest one day. You did a great job with this Jessica!

This is excellent. What a challenge to write a poem being stuck on the same letter start for every word. You truly deserved the win, I wrote Tiny Tom for the same competition my first time writing that style poem, and I really enjoyed it. Well done fabulous story.

Stupendous! It was a stretch for me to come up with one word let alone an entire story. I can't believe you were able to compose a story with all S's. What a struggle! But a magnificent one for sure. No wonder you are the well deerving winner.
Well done! and Congrtulations!
Smiles, Carol

I've read many of these in my time but never one executed with such consummate skill. You have managed to create a coherent and exciting story within the contest parameters. Marvellously done! A worthy winner indeed.

Soooo supremely stupendous since summoning s'es so substantially seems stymie-ing. Seriously successful sentence structures suggest supernatural stamina!!

You're a very good writer, Jess, and this was a most-worthy win--congrats! The 's'tory was gripping and entertaining from start to finish. It made grammatical sense and never lost its high-quality narrative touch. Glad the sailors survived the ordeal and had a swell sea-monster sushi fest at the end. :-)

Are you KIDDING ME? What skill! Where are my sixes when I need them? This is fabulous. My laughter started with this:
"Sully's sporadic spewing sickened Sparky's strong stomach. Shawny started seeing stuff, sending Sammy's suspicions soaring. Similarly, Sonny spiraled, stability slowly slipping."
It hasn't quit.
"Shipmates simultaneously scarfed surprisingly scrumptious sea serpent sushi. Strange symptoms subsided, seemingly settling silly squabbles."
(*gag* -- excuse me...)

Congratulations on a well-earned win!!!!!!!!

Congrats on winning the Stuck on One Letter Contest. You've penned an awe-inspiring write of magnificent skill and creativity. I am honored to have attempted to submit an entry in this contest and have lost to a master wordsmith and talented writer who's entries in every Fanstory contest are deserving of 10+++stars. I wish I had another 6 stars to give you for this brilliant write.

All the best,

Eugene
