Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 23
  • Rewards: Gold: 150, Silver: 75, Bronze: 35, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    156 stories in two weeks in a no-prewrites zone. That MUST be a SW Record.

    I've read each and every one and I believe I've commented on all except a few - to those of you who I haven't commented on, You WILL get a comment.

    The winners were so good, but it was SO difficult to pick winners. Even Honorable mentions were hard, but... oh, you guys were all just so good!

    I have lots of other contests open all the time, so feel free to enter them. Thanks for all the stories guys.

    Kevan.

      Anything.
      A serious story in nine words.
      Hook me, or tell me a whole story. I'm not limiting anything here

  • What exactly do you mean by 'serious' topics? Adult topics like politics? Love? I'm a bit unsure by what you mean...

      Serious. As in non-humorous.
      Whether it's adult is up to you. I just don't want nine-worded jokes.

  • Twenty seconds of my life? You monster! WHY!? Dx
    *flails*

    This seems easy enough. I may very well enter.

  • I'm sooooo entering. You are addicted to holding contests Here have some for your hard work.

      It's not so bad.

      Imagine this. You have a contest, only new writes and you get 85 entries. That is a successful contest. Also, each entry takes ten seconds to read.

      I'm so pumped to judge this

  • I like this contest You owe me 20 seconds though.

      Alright, but why not make it forty seconds? It will take you twenty more seconds to read this, unless you skip to the end, which I'd advise you not to do because rumour has it that not fully reading something can give you cancer. Was that twenty seconds? I believe it was. If not, read this, this, this, this and this.

      That should do it

  • does the title count as a word?
