I'm proud to offer my congratulations to the winners.
Congratulations everyone! Sucks that I couldn't make the top 10, but all the other stories definitely deserved to be there.
Congratulations all around.
You guys deserve it
Congratulations to 3 very deserving entries!!
A huge congrats to Liz, Billy and Ben! And to the top 10: y'all deserve to be there! This was a really great competition! xx
Massive congratulations to all that took part and especially to the winners.
Congrats everyone! I look forward to reading them all.
Well done everyone; winners, honourable mentions and all who took part!!
Looks like I have (more) reading to catch up on for it was a very busy competition!!
I wonder what the next one will bring?
Congratulations to the Winners and the rest of the top ten! Well done!
Congrats to all three of you guys. Liz didn't surprise me at all, but the rest had to be a tough choice... I read some really good stories. Guess I've got some more reading to do now.
Congratulations to the winners, runners-up, and everyone else who entered. I'm still a couple of competitions behind, but I can't wait to read all the entries I missed.
And as always, a thank you to the judges for a hard job done well.
My latest story is a racy little piece about what happens when someone cute from work invites you over to watch Netflix and Chill. Huge congratulations to the winners, the runners-up and everyone else who entered!
To me, there are more than a handful of outstanding stories that should have earned a place on the pedestal, and quite a few that unfortunately went without a honorary mention despite being brilliant.
Now, my only hope is that you'll all take extended holidays abroad where you don't have internet access while the next comp is on so I've got an effing chance! Seriously, though, that comp brought out the best in everyone, and reading all the great entries is both a huge inspiration and a challenge to do even better next time. Keep the comps going, Nicola!
*tapping fingernails impatiently on the table top and biting my lip* Has the new comp already started? Do we know what it is about? When can I start writing?
Fantastic effort everybody. Really well done to you all xx
Absolutely thrilled by this result!
(I say baldly that 'The Inheritance' was a personal fave so I'm delighted to see it place!)
Congrats to Betty Button and Loopy also, to the Top Ten and indeed to EVERYONE who entered.
I followed this one closely and I cannot commend the judging panel highly enough. There were AT LEAST another half dozen stories that might have placed in the finalist list and I know how much work and indeed heartache it takes to rank writing at this level. As Usual, the judging panel got it Spot On! Hats off to the judges!
xx Steph
congrats, everybody! =d>
