There were some Monsters in here. Congratz to all the winners, and yeah, Puddleduck just nailed it this time around.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Congratulations to all! I'm looking forward to reading your works.
The lying dishonest media will tell you that I didn't have the best story, but I did. I also won the popular vote #fakenews
PUDDLEDUCK!!! Ya rock! Such a good story!
Congrats to everyone else who placed. I'm amazed I got in. I tried to read every entry and was really impressed by a lot of them. Some gems didn't even make the top ten.
also, Mr WW, you should never read an entry before writing your own. it makes your story too damn good. grrr....
There were some amazing stories submitted. Congratulations to the winners and the runners-up.
Congratulations to all of the well deserving top ten, can't wait to catch on some more of my queue to delight in your talents!
Well done, all. Congratulations.
Congrats to all, and especially Puddleduck, whose entry I knew was special as soon as I read it.
My reading list just got longer!
Might be a good place to mention that I think it would be great for the main competition page to list the top 10, as here, and not just top 3.
Happy reading!
Sigh.
I think this makes me 0-10 on top-3 placement in competitions now. And it's always my favorites (and best writing) that ends up doing the worst. I don't think my style is made for these things. Or, my paltry talents can't keep up with the site newbies. Which is actually a good thing. I need a long break from writing and LUSH both on account of getting obliterated in chemistry this semester.
In any event. The best did win and I called it first. I knew puddles had it in the bag after the first few paragraphs. She's too damn good. A most well-deserved story especially when she started out not wanting to enter.
Congratulations, everyone! So impressed! I wish I had even half of you guys' talent.
Congratulations to all the winners. All the entries were great.
I fully agree, Sprite - personally, it was my favourite of the bunch, as well as being one of the best, and most fun, stories I've read in ages.
