Oh man, I completely dug both "Popeye" and "Performance Art", but I went for the more human horror of "Popeye".

"Why We Sleep" should be expanded into a novel.

A much stonger batch of stories than the first one, overall. I actually had to go back and re-read my two favorites before deciding.

I dug the HELL outta Popeye, but in the end my vote went to Why We Sleep.

They were all very good though. Thumbs up to everyone who's entered so far.

Why We Sleep, compared to the others in the second batch, had more "meat".

I wish more people were voting and I know there are more than 16 Chewers who have read these!

WHY WE SLEEP was very clever, I really liked it. Kinda thought the others were, at times, grisly but substance-less.

Good stuff all around. It's a shame this contest isn't garnering more votes and comments. Maybe the next contest should involve submitting a negative critique of a Joss Whedon work of your choice. THAT will get attention around here.

NC17, as you asked for specific critique, I'm a little bit confused as to how "Performance Art" is a "ghost story," which seems to be the theme of the contest. Not that I didn't enjoy the story, I'm just missing the ghost angle.

I clicked on the link to vote on the third wave, but ended up here. Also, the page for the third round of entries was a little vague (the contest "is almost at an end" -- does that mean this is the last wave?).

EDIT: Questions answered, I found the polling for the third wave here. As of now, the link on the page for the third wave of stories is still broken and will take you to this thread, so if you accidentally arrive here like I did, just follow the above link and it will take you where you need to go.
