It was universally agreed across our competition judging panelists, that this was the hardest competition to date, to judge.
Putting together the Top 10 was difficult enough, and we had to be extra tough on some which didn't quite fit the brief. Some wonderfully written entries didn't even make the cut, which is testimony to the quality of writers we have here amongst our membership.
By the narrowest of margins, taking out the 1st Place prize, is an author who's only been on the site for a few months. Congratulations to Jaded Buddha for his excellent story, "The Space Between".
Coming in 2nd Place with a wonderful piece of writing, is browncoffee, who always posts stories of the highest calibre.
Great to see you on the podium finally Martin. Well done to TheTravellingMan!
1st Place: The Space Between, by jaded_buddha
2nd Place: Midsummer Nights, by browncoffee
3rd Place: The Petite Girl from the Big City, by TheTravellingMan
