2007 Appomattox Challenge

Back on March 10, 2007 Brian Coltrane issued the following challenge to the greater Hazzard Community (and I’m paraphrasing): “Write a story by April 9, or else MaryAnne gets demoted and all rank and title that she’s enjoyed will be surrendered to me, Brian Coltrane.”

Actually, more specifically, he said this…

“Quite simply, if we don’t get in a few stories by April 09, then MaryAnne is to surrender all rank and title to me, unconditionally. Then, I’ll be able to do all kinds of ruthless stuff like ban her from HazzardNet for a change. And don’t think I won’t do it! Though I might send her on some tedious errands and heap all kinds of menial tasks on her beforehand. Once she’s out of the way, I can rearrange a few things, and get a bigger cut of that 50% of 50% of 50%.

There ya have it. Ya’ll have from now until April 09, to turn in a Dukes of Hazzard fanfic story. Length and topic up to you. Help ransom MaryAnne’s badge and all it stands for.

Or, do nothing and therefore assure my new elevated position within HNet’s hierarchy. Muahahaha!”

Well, the community spoke. In droves. Khee! My badge was saved and the Hazzard hierarchy (anarchy?) will continue as it has been.

Take a look at the entries and enjoy! (And thanks to all who participated! Your efforts were greatly appreciated.) =)

A Man’s Heart

When Jesse’s heartfelt wish comes true (the mortgage on the farm gets paid for the last time and the Duke’s future is affirmed), something in him inspires Enos to recognize what lies in his own heart. As the deputy comes to grip with his own moral issues, and standards, he finds the courage to face his feelings as well.
