Well done to all those who entered; as always, there were so much wonderful writing both within and outside the top ten. A call out to Cumgirl Daisy and Luca for their fabulous stories.
Congratulations to those in the top ten, your stories were all brilliant. Literally ten of my favourite writers, and a special call out to Grusha for your best finish.
Special congrats of course to Phil, Jeff and Jake, great stories from three fabulous writers who I adore, so well done.
Thanks to Nicola and all those who organised and judged this competition. Loved being part of this, my sixteenth competition in a row.
I can't but help observe three Australians in the top six, we rock guys. And special congrats to my fellow Coven members Susie and Violet, the three of us in the top 10.
Congratulations to the top three places, and a special well done to Philu for his most worthy entry breaking out ahead of the pack.
A richly deserved podium - congrats to one and all! Don't envy the judges having to make the call, though, with so much accomplished writing and variation on show!
Yeah, what a difficult theme topic. I contemplated entering but couldn't figure out what the fuck to write that fit the theme.
Regardless, congrats to the winners AND the placers. What a creative bunch. It speaks well to the sense of community here at Lush for everyone to pull together and compete at the same time whenever a comp hits.
I'd like to borrow the word stonking too. Is there some sort of form we need to fill out?
Congratulations to the top three, as well as the top ten. Y'all done did good. Also, a very well done to the other entrants. Entering competitions isn't always easy, but it's fantastic to see the high quality of writers we have here. I always love seeing how people push themselves in competitions. Everyone should be very proud. xx
Congratulations to the top 3 and top ten and everyone who entered.
I particularly loved all of the top three! They hit the theme spot on in their creative entries.
I also was seriously in love with VioletVixen's story, Grushna's and Susie's so I am excited to see them on the list and honoured to be amongst them.
A couple shout outs to few others that I thought rocked it
Green_man, El_Henke, AAnna. ( Among others )
It was a great comp, Thank you to Nicola and all the judges.
It's lovely to be on the podium with Phil and WW - many thanks, judges, and well done those two! Frankly I feel a degree of awe at the contributors in this comp writing in ways of which I can only dream. It's a long list, but let me just mention Grusha's All Systems Functioning, one of several stories which made me lloll (literally laugh out loud loudly) and VioletVixen's Pussified, which imo was the best piece of writing in the contest. Also CumGirl's The Fools - insane genius, so no change there.
I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this, and love that I'm contributing on Lush at a point when there's so much awesome writing to enjoy and learn from. Much love and foolery to all.
Huge congratulations to Phil, Jeff, Jake, and the rest of the top ten - and truly, to all who had the creativity, energy, and courage to enter. I didn't read all of the entries, but I read a bunch and they were all very humorous and well-written. Certainly enough to scare me off, so I went the lazy route and just enjoyed everyone else's efforts!
I saw above where someone had commented that the 3 podium-sitters and indeed, six of the top ten were males, which was so far off the usual pattern that it makes me think that perhaps foolish is what we do best. Surely it can't just be coincidence!
Hmm... I just checked again and it really does look like nicola is not trying to fool me. I'm a bit stunned. I did think when I saw this topic, 'This might suit me,' but I never thought I'd win...
I really had no idea how the judges would pick this one... as I commented at some stage, it's possibly even harder to pick what people will find funny than what they'll find hot. I thought the stories listed 2nd, 3rd and 4th might take the podium spots.
Anyway... firstly, I wanted to say thanks to nicola for running the comps, which are always fun, and thanks to the judges.
And a big congrats to all those who made the top 10 and to all those who didn't but who still wrote some great stories.
