I hope 'The Affluence of Incohol' is a new take on the old classic and not plagiarism!

Well done everyone!

Have the humour competition winners been announced yet? I notice on the new (brilliant!) website that you already have a title for the anthology, and wondered if I'd missed the results.

Hi Sally - the results of the Humour Comp will be announced in the new year. We want to give it the time it needs, and we have a lot of ongoing anthologies to finish off.

Anonymous - classic? Gap in my literary knowledge quite possibly, but I don't know of anything other than the joke from which the title has been taken. We're sure the story's original.

Thanks for answering my question. I was afraid I'd missed the results. I'll look forward to seeing them in the new year :-)
