Wow, two in a row for Susie. Well done! Congrats to all the podium slots. Sprite's was seriously on another level of creepiness, and NaughtyAnnie's was such a fun romp it was impossible to ignore. Well deserving winners, and some storming top 10 entries too (unfortunately not all I managed to read, though I'll try to do so).
I know it's cliché to say that it must have been a hard shortlisting/judging process but the quality was seriously out there. I don't envy the judges.
Of those that didn't make it on the list, PervyStoryTeller's was storming fun and fabulously penned. TheTravellingMan's was unsettlingly vivid. Voltemand's piece, likewise. I could go on, but I'd bore everyone. Seriously amazing writing on many fronts. This comp brought out the creativity, from sirens and witches and ghosts to mist and westerns... the variety was exceptional.
Congratulations to everyone who entered.

Only 3 that I haven't read from the top ten. Congratulations to all involved and especially Susie for two in a row. Looking for the hat-trick!
WW beat me to it! 2 in a row, Susie? Sensational!! Very well deserved!
Well done Sprite and Naughty Annie and the rest of the excellent Top 10. There were so many fabulous, imaginative stories in this comp. Well done, everyone!
Congratulations Susie, Rach, and Annie on your win. As well as the rest of the top ten and all who entered. I didn't get to read them all but definitely some great stories from what I've read. I have to say I absolutely enjoyed both Rachel's, and Vanessa's. It was a fun competition. I enjoyed sharing our local legends with you.
Congratulations all! I managed to read the top three and they were excellent, so well deserved.
I hope to catch up on some of those I missed - I will say the (very) late entry "The Whims of Witches" by LJLongo was wonderful if you missed it.
Congratulations Susie, Sprite, and Annie! Superb stories! The top ten were also amazing, I will never be a judge because I wouldn't be able to make up my mind! This was a wonderful comp, so freaking creative! I love how the comps seem to bring out some of the best stories here!
Meddle Not In The Affairs of Dragons, for we are Crunchy and Good with Ketchup!
This was a lovely surprise when I logged on! It's my first Top 3 place for several years.
Congratulations to Susie and Rachel, and all those who were awarded a Top 10 place. There were several others I loved as well; judging must have been so hard.
And well done to everyone who entered. It was great to see so many entries.

Congratulations to Susie, Sprite and Annie as well as the rest of the top 10 and also everyone who entered with their wonderful creative stories.
Well deserved congratulations to Susie, Rachel, and Annie! No surprises there, but excellence is almost routine for this group!
And congratulations for all the top ten authors as well. Any of you could have won. I'm tempted to say all of you SHOULD have won, but that's … well you get the point.

Almost 70 and I still got it!
Congratulations all! I honestly enjoyed every story I read.
Congratulations to the podium (Susie, Sprite, and Annie) and all who entered. Each entry had merit and was a uniquely enjoyable read. Shout out to Grusha for borrowing Buster's gonads from MojaveJoe's entry to take on the Bible. A brilliant, ballsy entry. I am lucky to be published among each of you.
Well done to all the authors who entered; as always, there were so many wonderful stories both within and outside the top ten. Congratulations to my fellow writers in the top ten, your stories were all fabulous, a tribute to our craft.
Special contrats to Susie Rach and the naughty Annie, great stories from three fabulous writers.
Thanks to Nicola and all those who organised and judged this competition. Loved being part of it.
Congratulations to all the winners of the competition.
