  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for giving this contest a try, as I really enjoyed reading each and every entry. First place was very difficult as all three top winners scored a perfect 10, so I was left with putting them in the order of personal preference. Honorable mentions are in no particular order.

    I hope to see all of you enter my contests as I host them and thank you all once again for entering.

    Write On!

    Blessed Be~

    I believe our host included words of a nature to confuse, than to exceed beyond the worth of those which are most probably never to be used again.
