This is my entry for the time contest. It wasn't my original idea, but some offhand jokes in the chat a few days ago gave me an entirely different idea.
There's no such thing as too much meta. At least, that's what I keep telling myself. Upvoting after I drain the fuck from my brain.
Malthus wins with his story 'How Jester Got His Groove Back!'", but Anderson rises from his seat and collects the gift card. Maybe a small oversight ?
I liked the subtle touch with the currencies.
I also read the ending as "THERE IS NO HOPE FOR SALIVA" at first, which I guess works too in that setting.

I feex.
Similarly,
"And the winner of this year's Site 73 short story contest is - Dr. Sarah Evans, for her story 'Love At 80,000 AU!'" The two dozen or so assembled authors clapped politely as Dr. Anderson rose from her seat, took a short bow, and accepted the $100 gift card that was her grand prize.
Everybody writing tales today is a motherfucker. Take your filthy +1.
if your reading this your gay
Good show, old bean. Fits the way I've always imagined time in the Foundationverse to work, too. I love non-linear causality. :3
Take your +1, you saucy devil, you.
… disregard, I'm an idiot.
It's clever.
So noted. :)
Awesome job! Definitely my favorite time contest entry. BTW, what exactly does it say in french there?
It's just the same text from when Malthus wins the first time. Apparently, by that point, Anderson had screwed up causality so much that the Foundation was French.
