I would like to express my thanks to all the people who voted for my tease and for all the congratualtions. Contrary to what Cactusman thought, this is actually my 'very first' TOTM winner (although I've come close a couple of times) and am honoured to accept such a prestigious accalade
I do agree with Cactusman when he says flash and normal teases are two different mediums and so should have seperate contests (and I'm not just saying that because a flash tease might have taken my hard earned victory away from me ) Hopefully something can be sorted out soon so flash teases can get the credit they deserve as well.

My mind just exploded with the power of context here. If I hadn't seen other posts from you showing your sense of humor, I'd agree with the words but not the tone.
Given other posts I've seen from you, though, I understand your flair for gratuitous hyperbole, so this was funny to me!
Funny, the insights you can get on a sex-oriented site.

Actually, I admit that I was still a bit annoyed with finding out after waiting all month that my tease didn't qualify for the contest when I wrote that. I'm over it now, and feel kinda bad because I feel like even though I held my keyboard mostly in check, I may have inadvertantly rained on Bondageman's parade a little with the tone that did get through. In fact, after thinking about it I've decided I agree with Cactusman's point about the two different mediums after all. So now I'd agree keeping the contests seperate, but I would like to see flash tease winners posted on the front page along with the other, and I'd suggest a name-change form TOTM to "Standard Tease of the Month" just so the next new author to come along doesn't have to find out the same way I did.
So I think it's time I officially congratulated Bondageman on his award, and apologies for any negativity I brought to this month's contest.
Thanks for the 'proper' congratulations Vinny Vodka There was no offence taken in the first place anyway. If I was in your shoes, I would have felt exactly the same.
