Congrats to @nobneyi for winning the September 19 Twenty-four hour short story contest


Hey everyone!

First off, some great news, @curie has funded the contest for another 8 weeks!  Which is great, because before the contest cost me Steem every week, despite the upvotes, but it was wonderful for interacting with other writers.

This was the first time in the contest that the prompt was a quote--"We’re headed to Madam Maxime’s at the edge of the universe."

Got a wide variety of ideas on how to use the quote.

We had nine entries hope you can check them all out.

Well let's get to it.

This week's winners:

Five Steem to  nobyeni for Madam Maxime this is one of the shortest entries, but nobyeni does a wonderful job of getting straight to the point with dialog. Solid writing here.

Three Steem to  bohemian.machine for The Brothel at the Edge of the Universe, in my mind this was more the kind of story I was expecting with the prompt.  Good point of view writing here, telling the story from the descendant of Maxime.  And good world building here as well.

One Steem to  carolkean for We're Headed to Madam Maxime's at the Edge of the Universe, an interesting use of the of the quote, as well as some very good world building in such a short entry. Nicely done.

Other entries in no particular order:

 medusaeffect with Madam Maxime and the Last Hold Out tells of a group of friends that go there for a good time.

 marciabon with Glaistig: Recon Mission NCC-1701 which tells the story of a lost spaceship trying to find it's way to a habital planet.

 sarez with Pirate Attack tells the story of a hacked AI on a space cruiser. Which when you think about it will be an issue in the future. True science fiction there.

 cyemela with his entry, which is story from the world of Harry Potter. Complete with game keeper Hagrid.

 seesladen with Out There, which tells the story of Josh and Lucy who get into some trouble traveling from Madam Maxime's.

 disguarpe with his entry, tells gives a good solid entry of space battles.  Check it out for some nice classic sci-fi action.

Thanks to everyone for your entries.  Please check out the other entries, and share some upvotes with your fellow writers.

New contest up soon.  Thanks again everyone!  You're awesome.
