Reminder: "White Lies Belie a Darker Truth"

Feeling exposed? We won't tell if you don't. Strap yourself to the lie detector and come clean. The truth shall set you free.



Fingers of Aidos - "Neptune's Payback"
Kate Hanley and William the Redd voted! Their fingers are retracted.
Not for Jellyfish and She Writes, however... tsk, tsk.

*A Sample Vote - since some are still having issues with voting, we've posted a sample vote to go with the F.A.Q. in order to help out. You can check it HERE.

*Starting with the next Muse, we'll be changing the voting procedure a little bit. Currently, "Top x" is determined by multiples of 7, beginning with 21 (don't ask us to explain it), but "runners up" are determined by multiples of 10, beginning with 10. To make it easier on us lazy or absent admins, we're changing "Top x" to multiples of 10, beginning with 10. What does that mean? Don't worry about it... we're just letting you know that we'll let you know when the need arises.
