Congratulations to Michael!!  I have to say I totally agree with 
Ron's judgement -- Alien City was also my personal #1 pick, closely 
followed by Ley Lines as my #2 pick.  By the way, Ron, thanks for 
publishing all of the entries before judging; it was nice to have a 
look at all of the entries early.  I was sorely tempted to post my 
own opinions on them all during the judging interval, but I 
definitely didn't want to taint your opinion in any way!  Now I see 
it wouldn't have mattered. :)

Ok, I have to know -- What were all the technicalities?  I don't 
think I can see any obvious rule-breaking in any of them....

later,
