My Dishonourable Mention - Another Raven By Mike Singleton π Mikeydred
This is the story
At the time it got a lot of great feedback from Vocal Creators, and I was very proud of it. It also got featured by Spillwords recently which you can read about here:
So I suggested that it deserved a Top Story to Vocal and was told that my writing wasn't good enough. Around the same time, Paul got a Top Story for this funny rude SenryΕ« (ε·ζ³) (you have to read it it is very funny).
And I thought mine was deemed not very good and Paul gets a Top Story for his, so obviously I am ripe for a dishonourable mention.
I am sure Paul will be fine with this, but I thought mine deserved a top story as well.
So I hope I have shown my total dishonourability.
The music is "Bring The Hammer Down" by The Screamin' Lords .
The artwork is one of my AI creations, showing something else I can be dishonoured for, and the song is rather excellent, available of Bandcamp here:
Thank you for reading.

Eight Vocal Challenges Complete And Suggestions For Rearrangement Of The Communities
Introduction When I saw that Vocal had eight challenges on the go it hit me and a few others badly. This is not a criticism of Vocal because it gives people a lot of choices if they want to enter a challenge, and I know Vocal Creators who will only enter an official challenge.

Amusing take on the challenge.
You always give your best in your writing TS or not TS that is the question. Good work on this one as well.
I think I will never decipher the secret algorithm for winning a cash prize on Vocal, but I'd settle for trying to change my expired credit card on Stripe! I love Poe, too! My Mom read "The Raven" to me as a child after she gave me a stuffed raven.
In my opinion, everyone deserves a Top Story hehehe
haha. Thank you! And welcome aboard. You were definitely royally screwed with that one. I remember reading it and as The Raven is one of my favourite poems, was before I even bothered trying to write poetry myself, I instantly loved it. I also remember the video of you reading it too! Vocal should have given it a Top Story, especially as they gave my little bit of profanity-masked-as-art got one. Thank you for entering it and with your usual Singleton charm.
