Hoist the colours, proud fiction writers!

Well, 'tis be a half-shocker with the diminished number of entries! Although the difficulty of words was there, I would scream to even make a half-botched attempt at the prompt then no ending at all. After all, yah miss a hundred percent of the shots yah don't take. Even still, this may have not been equally the opportunity to experiment the fine sensibilities to practice one's own English...

In this edition we saw my advice of teaming up taken seriously, congrats team Tralvao (@tristancarax and @salvao) for working together on a coending with both English and Spanish entries. Also let us give cheers to @calluna and @gwilberiol for getting @curie upvotes for this round, we certainly got compensated for diminished numbers quite generously with splendid entries. But truly, the biggest piece of news was that @cyemela was first-blood this round; stand proud and tall!... And a late entry by @stever82, let’s all be greatful I had internet connection.

These endings though conformed to the act of bingo really splintered off and all with some lsd drop of reality-stacking.

Unlike last week were @calluna had to judge a lot of entries of high quality, I have the same problem of quality but the problem of diminished quantity. To quote mój Ukochany: "you all gave me a real challenge in judging. I ended up having to go through a few times, and found it so hard to narrow them down. I had my top picks..." [Okay thanks quote copier, that's all for now.] A real challenge now, oh boy do I hear the dice bag spontaneously combusting before I even twitch my body towards there. This is the night of dice rolls...

... And the winners of this potassium laced edition are:

• GRAND PRIZE - 5 STEEM: @calluna
  Well, my Nana comment gave my entire reasoning away; so not going to make myself a mess again. But let's, for the sake of the contest, list off my reasons why (and this was before Kit Cal got the @curie upvote). One: that dude and how the story melted with our protagonist, just so Queer (and dreamy 😍)~ Two: "who left the PECK-Hormone machine on in there; it's a bit sweaty in there and by th' Rum o' Cap'n Morgan do I see someone doin' a lip-tongue move" - my comment. Three: The fact we got a smart character of attention, noticing our protagonist melting at the seems (as was I). Four (reason never before seen): the title actually got referenced at the end and so much made me grunt that I stopped melting but so glad the title bore some weight here. Really good job here and congrats on the @curie upvote once again!

• SECOND PRIZE - 4 STEEM: TEAM TRALVAO!!!!~ (@tristancarax and @salvao)
  Not only for making an effort to BE A TEAM URAH! but also producing a Spanish and English version together. Well, the only thing I shall remark is good effort and good struggle, thank you @salvao for giving a shot - wish we had more of you. Even if those that try give a botched attempt, better than not trying at all.

• THIRD PRIZE - 2 STEEM: @stever82
  Since I was looking around once again, I saw this late bugger come by. And well, I was considering and flipping a coin to see if I would put it into the judging or not. And well, the coin favored Steve for this round; don’t be late again. Otherwise, I really liked some Greek on my late salad; gives it some emphasis and makes irony of the lateness with how long a certain character has been trapped there... to me at least...

• POPULAR VOTE - 2 SBI: @cyemela
  There was a two-way split between @cyemela and Team Tralvao (@salvao and @tristancarax), thankfully it had been resolved... What can I say really, I love it when bingo night gets compromised by faulty judgement and then entering into the light. Just pure ending right there with how number-esque things got. <3 Now please, remember the number that gets called out next time!
  
  
• BEST COMMENT - 2 SBI: @tristancarax
  This is probably not the last time me and mój towarzysze and @f3nix jokes that I should win this award. In fact, I would self-declare myself this right now but I have to give it to someone. And @f3nix can't get it, prompt writer. I can't, reasons above and contest host for this week. @tristancarax and @cyemela made at least one comment, but these were nice and jovial comments which we critically need. However I guess this prompt really blew people's commentating energies outta the water I see...
