Name That Yarn Contest - Results!

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Here to announce the winner of the first ever FictionInteractive.com's Name That Yarn Contest, is Bakodasha McDywbs, a deleted character from the never written Space Opera 4263 - Doomed Scourge of Yargos.

(Bakodasha floats onstage in evil green hoverboots, her wiry tentacles flexing with barely-restrained fury)

"Ahem. Hem. Damn it, how does this. Oh. And the winner is... Kato, for his entry Long Way Home. His prize - deep satisfaction tinged with a glickspok of glee."

Thunderous applause across a double dozen star systems unites the galaxy in song, 200 billion creatures inexplicably joining in a spontaneous remix of I'd Like to Buy the Universe a Coke.

2 Might Enter! 1 Will Win!

I'm working on my cheesy choose-your-own adventure project again. It's silly, but I'm having fun with it.

Here's where the competition comes in -

FictionInteractive's Name That Yarn Contest!

You guys submit candidates for the title of the story, and I'll choose the best one. The winner gets a credit on the web site and bragging rights for all eternity. Me? I get a good title - cause let's face it, you folks are a lot cleverererer than I am.

Here's the story, a simple and straightforward plot - A woman is on her way to work in her luxury car when she's carjacked at a turnpike tollbooth and has to fight off the assailants, who are trying to force her to drive home so they can molest it and pilfer her. Wait, no... Well, you get the idea.

All right! Hit me with your entries. Extra points for wit, cleverness and frolicsome pertness.
