Christmas Micro Competition - And the winner is...

Good job, Ape! Happy New Year!

Quote by Jen

Thank you so much to everyone who entered this wee competition. Some of your micros are amazing! I love reading short form stories like this and seeing how much story people can cram into a really tight word count.

Despite not automatically knowing that pineapple on a pizza should be illegal and therefore being docked 5 points, the win goes to Seeker4 and his brilliant twisty micro Countdown which managed not just one twist, but two, in less than 100 words.

Well done, Scooter. I'll be in touch re your $100 prize.

The next (official) competition will be announced shortly.

HURRAY APE!

Congratulations Scott!

Congratulations! To my shame, I hadn't even read that one, but it's a delight.

Well done, seeker. A deserved win for sure. Loved what you did with the word count. Impressive stuff.

I read pretty much all of the entries and enjoyed how varied (and often twisted) they were. Back slaps all round for everyone who entered.

Holy sheep! 10 years on Lush and my first win, official or otherwise. And with quite a field, too. Definitely one of the funnest (and funniest) comps I have been a part of.

Thanks all for a great competition!

Ape!!!! Yay for you and your creepy Christmassy micro! 😀😀 Loved it! Drinks are on YOU in Rumps today

Thanks, Jen, for the fun competition!!! 😊

Yes, agreed! Great idea, Jen!

Maybe do this again between major comps? Like "Hot Fun – in 100 words" for summer or something?

Congtstulations, I agree the fun micro competition should be a regular thing between major comps.

Congratulations Scott! I enjoyed your twisty micro and was pleased to see you get a win!

I enjoyed everyone’s take on this and how so many great Lush authors jumped on the bandwagon to make this a fun (if unofficial) comp!

Mr Ape, I hope you consider a followup on your micro. It left me wanting to know what happened next! 😀 Always a sign of a great micro, imo.

Congratulations, Seeker!
There were so many fantastic entries in this one, but yours went further than the others. A well-deserved win.

Mr Ape, some serious frikkin congratulations are deserved. Really nice work in a tough field! What a great way to bring in the new year. I’ll buy you a beer over her and a coffee over at the shop. Well crafted and super twisty!

EDIT: Thanks to Jen for putting this fun holiday diversion together! It was really fun.

So many great entries in this comp, but yours was just brilliant. Absolutely deserves the prize. Congratulations and I'll mail off your tiara this afternoon. 😘❤️😘

Congratulations - a great story that captures the imagination - and a great competition, so many excellent submissions. Great fun, thanks for putting it on. 😎

Just read Seeker's entry and I feel like a need an adult. Holy smokes that was twisty as hell. Well deserved win!

Congrats Ape man, such an excellent story; congrats to all who entered and Jen for organising such a fun competition.

When's the next comp, Jen? Perhaps a Bloody Valentine erotic horror comp 😈

Woohoo, Jen! Sharpening my dirty pencils! And that is one scary pussy... cat.

Well done, Seeker. It was very special and well deserved.
