It seems to me that there is a direct correlation with the amount of bitching about the letters and how fantastic the results are! :)


I'm not sure there is a correlation. In general we just like to bitch, and we are just that good.

Was like giving birth (to a shadowbaby) trying to come up with anything that made sense.  But, apparently, for others these letters were a breeze - hence these amazingly good acros.

This happens a lot in my opinion. The collective frustration breeds creativity.

How dare nobody vote for that entry I submitted in the half a second of spare time I had! Who cares if it didn't make sense? Maybe Sam's mom is somewhat slow...

 

I didn't vote for your entry for the same reason I didn't vote for Woofless': They ignored the introductive text of FB in which it was stated that the letter arrived at the beginning of Sam's time at the wall.

I object!  I didn't ignore the introductory text!

I just completely forgot about it.  Not the same thing at all.

Interesting. I didn't even bother to notice there was a setup. I don't like setups, too narrow.

In a field of strong entries this is the standout. It captures Melessa's voice, it shows her enabling his weight problem, it shows that she loves and cares for him, and it sounds like a mom. If you would, Bird, change my entry to this, thanks.
 

 

"Sounds like a mom" may have something to do with the fact that I'm a mom. LOL. It was easy to relate to Sam's mom.

I'm a mom too, but I didn't nail it quite the way you did. That was clearly the best entry of the round.
