And The Winner Is…

Contributed by Andrew Cheverton on 10/02/08

This week’s image is up, and another round of daily burst fiction starts here at Elephant Words, beginning a new six-week run that, for the first time, sees a new writer added to the roster.

After an intensive audition period, during which all of the proffered stories were rated by the readers and ruminated over by the EW writers, site creator Nick Papaconstantinou has made the decision to offer the unenviable task of replacing departing writer Rol Hirst to David Baillie, whose story Broke Down? Again? is available to read (or reread) here.

David will literally fill Rol’s place in the schedule, with his first story posting on Friday the 15th of February. For a taster of his work, David’s website features a large selection of his comics and prose.

Our thanks to all of those who sent in their audition pieces; we hope that you will continue to read and enjoy the site, and perhaps contribute future stories in the Forums.

It goes without saying that everybody here at Elephant Words wishes Rol all the best with his future writing endeavors, and that one of those will include a return here as soon as he is able. Naturally, his website will continue to offer readers the opportunity to read his work, as well as updates on his new writings and publications.

In the meantime, the stories start here again tomorrow.
