The bid will remain relatively unchanged on some hot item until the last few minutes when everybody starts bidding, and you have to keep hitting refresh just to keep up to date.

I suggest posting an exact time when the poll will be closed, so that we can all refresh the page on this board during the last five minutes or so to watch how many votes suddenly come in.[/quote]

[MkB]

It was close there for a while, but no longer.

I thought you were about to say "but no cigar"...

That said, I'm with MkB. Everyone who can vote should vote. Who knows? It's entirely possible that something dramatic could happen in the next two days! Isn't democracy wonderful?

Exactly! Let's look at it this way: 37 votes so far, and 9106 registered members on CBn... There's room for some thrilling democratic developments!

And I want to stress the fact that I don't say this because I'd like the tables to turn: the current leader even had my vote!

Would it make sense and/or be possible to put a teaser on the main home page letting people know they can vote for the title of the CBnet Centenary collection?

That would be the best promotion for it!

"Now, take diamonds," Leiter continued. "After World War II, you British staked your claim in the diamond trade by purchasing mines in Sierra Leone. You're doing pretty well with it too, or so I hear..."

Both men's eyes watched Bond as he made a show of prying the knife from the table and slicing one of the straws two-thirds the way down the shaft...

To continue living is to draw the short straw...

The Blunt Instrumental
Thomas Clink

Coming soon...

Bond saw where this was going. It was to be blackmail. Inwardly, he relaxed. This was the flaw in every great criminal organisation. Enter a dishonest business and you will be forced to employ dishonest people...

Darkness and disloyalties in the city of light and lovers...

To hell with Tanner, M and the assignment. He'd surely not stay here and listen to this woman screaming herself to death...

A new world. With new enemies. But you can still rely on one man. To go through hell.

Repellant Affair
"Trident"

[MicroGlobeOne]

These previews are brilliant, Jim! I didn't think it was possibly, but you've increased the excitement surrounding this project still further! It looks like we've got an absolutely wonderful line-up of original James Bond adventures with which to celebrate Ian Fleming's centenary. I can't wait to read more.

She was right. It was no time to mourn. It was time to live.

Brilliant. So many of these are so good, and I don't know the names and faces associated with them. This is going to be a serious treat.

Indeed!
Will we get to know the CBn screen name of the contributors? I know some, but it would be nice to know who's who for each story.

Well, I can reveal the identity of at least one of the contributors. I'm Brian A. Dixon, author of "Between the Shadow and the Soul." I've said it before and I'll say it again: I couldn't have had more fun working on the story and I'm proud to be a part of this project.

Thanks, MicroGlobeOne!
I should have started myself, sorry: I'm the one who commited "The Mercurius Affair"

[Single-O-Seven]

I'm Ryan R. Scott, author of "All's Hell That Ends Well." It was great fun banging this story out, and I'm glad to see I'm included amongst some noticeably intriguing side trips into the life of our favourite hero. I've just started reading some of the local fanfic, and I can't believe how great some of them are. I'm sure this collection will be no different.

[MHazard]

Hi, I'm Jon Karon, known on the forums as MHazard and the author of "Best Traditions". I'm really looking forward to reading everyone's stories, particularly after reading the teasers.

[Hitch]

These tales are going to be fun. Except for Clinkeroo's - his'll be bleak.
