And here it is, in all its finalised glory, "The Garden of Forking Pasts", weighing in at 2993 words (excluding disclaimers and other extraneous material).

Beginning: Fry suffers from a mysterious disease
Middle: Someone gets... AMNESIA!
End: Fry decides to return to the way things were

A bit more depressing than I originally planned. Warning: alternate universe character death.

This is really, really beautiful, Chris - you nail down the emotional cores of characters so well.  Another wonderful combination of emotions on display here - the darkness is properly leavened with humor.  Excellent stuff.

Extremely impressive. As usual, your writing and characterisation shines here, particuarly your descriptions and Fry's emotions. But I have to give extra special kudos to...

Overall, a fantastic read. I can see why you took the top award  :)

Excellent stuff.  No wonder you won!  A great little story that I'd personally like to see fleshed out into something longer.  Kudos!
