Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 29, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 1700, Silver: 850, Bronze: 425, Honorable mention: 17 people
  • Final notes:
    Hey girls, sorry it took me SOOOO long to comment and judge. I want to thank everyone because these were seriously amazing pieces to read. I enjoyed every single one and it was SO hard to narrow it down I kept getting more HMs but I decided to draw the line at 20 finalists haha.

    BUT EVERY PIECE WAS INCREDIBLE.

    I tried hard to give you guys some great comments that could never justify the work you submitted but I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed reading the material you entered.

    Thank you all, you're amazing.

      I don't know why it's doing it for you 'cause everyone else seems to be entering more than one. Hm, that is strange.

    I tried to enter a couple times
    and then I realized that it was just replacing my old entries with the ones I was trying to add.
    So yeah, it said I could only enter once :/

    Gah, I really wish I could come up with something worth entering for this. Damn Writers Block. And I think you've commented on all of the pre-writes I really like, so unless I can churn out something halfway decent in the next 15 hours, I guess I've missed the boat on this one. Ahhh well, I'm just honored to have been invited.

    Now, I shall scurry off to read the entries, as they are sure to be great, what with that list of people.

      no worries, prewrites are fine too - this is a good way for me to read pieces I have missed.
