Okay Peeps, we're on. The Story140 Vote is live. To the writers I say "bravo", to readers I say "be amazed", and to everyone I say "share this bloody URL".

Share it on twitter, on your blogs, by email or whatever. The myth of the writer alone in their garret is bollocks, people should see what you have done and be inspired.

Admiration to each of you, a perfect response to those Twitter cynics :-)

@scottrcrawford, @twelfthman, @somethinglemon, @mstaires, @baffled, @LeePorter, @elinoroberts, @Vivdora, @rob_enotions, @sparklypips, @dangennoe, @mikebreed, @srisankaran, @WarwickFoster, @matthew_goddard, @coyotetoo, @SensualStories, @StarlingJane, @joedorn, @daschick

Voting closes at 18.00 GMT, Friday 20th February.

I'll post the results here by midnight, along with all the stories properly credited.

Funny what can happen in a few days.
