Nicely done, everyone! I really enjoyed this set of entries.
This was a wonderful competition - my congratulations to all the winners but especially Annie - that was one of the best pieces of writing I've read in a long while - a very worthy winner!!
Congratulations to ALL the participants. It was great fun to read all the imaginative, sexy entries. I kept saying to myself, "Hmm, wish I thought of that!" Congratulations especially to Annie and CurlyGirl. Truly amazing work and well deserved awards!
Congratulations to all the great winning writers and participants. You all brought many smiles to my days this month!
What can I say except thank you to the judges, and to everyone else for your kind comments. Congratulations to the other winners, and all who entered. And who says poetry is dead lol?

I judge a lot of Lush Comps...
(Nicola: "Well, you do fuck all else...")
AHEM... And this one was the toughest I've done. I'll include a quote, since it's after the event, that I sent to my fellow judges in the course of our deliberations:
"To judge BETTER writers than me is a real trial. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE AT LEAST AS GOOD AS MY BEST. (Some are quite a bit better.)"
And one more quote from our discussions:
"Jesus, Nic, the standard at the top end is getting fucking ridiculous on Lush! I'm especially impressed at how some of these writers have developed in the time I've been reading them here."
The judging panel, (and it changes all the time,) take the competitions VERY seriously. When the standard is this high, one finds oneself in the HORRIBLE position of trying to OBJECTIVELY rank one writer against another, and IT'S SO DIFFICULT!!!!!!
For the first time ever in my Lush judging career, my first choice won! (Congratulations NA AND CG!!!!!)
Entrants should know that A GREAT DEAL of discussion and discourse happens in the course of competition judging. It can indeed get quite heated!
TWO out of my top three got placed. (Three out of my top four were placed.)
EVERY STORY I READ DESERVED AT LEAST AN EP RIBBON. EVERY ONE made me think, "Ah FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!!! HOW GOOD IS THIS!!!!!"
As a regular story mod I think I can say that we occasionally deal with 'work that needs work'...
The competitions properly showcase THE VERY BEST OF WHAT LUSH STORIES ASPIRE TO, and it's my honour and pleasure to read such quite fantastic work.
To EVERYONE who entered, thank you for your talent. To the winners, YOU DESERVE IT.
(I LOVE this fucking place!!!!!)
