I believe the competition is to honour our friend Dirty Martini even in (tongue in cheek) comment of your 420 stories/poems here LarryF.

From what I am reading, this competition to honor the legacy of Dirtymartini is a complete success. So many wonderful stories by so many wonderful authors. I am humbled to be amongst all of you. Very nicely done Maggie, Molly, Gillian, Anna, anybody I forgot? If so, my apologies.

My sincerest apologies to another blue and red icon... Mr. Rumple deWriter. I suppose all hope is gone now for a T-shirt from the Honkytonk and Cyber Bar.

After nine days, there are 20 stories entered in the competition, and the quality of them is stellar, in my opinion. Nine more days to go, if I can count correctly... so there's still time for another 20 stories to be written and entered. just sayin'...

Meaning, have one for each. Poems and Stories are two different things after all. Maybe call one the DirtyMartini Poem badge and one the DirtyMartini Story badge. Since Alan wrote in both and the comp started out as a story competition. Just a thought. There some great poems entered into this comp as well but they could still receive the Story badge and that would leave the Poem badge for another comp maybe. There are so many great poets on here, I am sure the comp would be flooded with poems.

Thanks for your suggestion, Jim. We may very well be awarding more than one DM badge, and we'll be sure to get the wording on the badge description changed so it doesn't specify it as a poetry contest.

 Tick tock, folks! The deadline for the Stories Space Dirty Martini 420 competition is only about 36 hours away! https://www.storiesspace.com/competitions/stories-space-dirty-martini-420.aspxThere’s still plenty of time to submit an entry — but time for procrastination is running short.
