Scary Stories/Poems

Contest is Over

• Contest was judged on February 26, 2008
• Rewards: Gold: 320
• Final notes:
  Well, finally I decided which were the winning stories.
  
  As I posted before, I judged the creepiest, most frightening one for gold.
  
  I was really glad to see so many positive feedback when I posted the contest.
  I may be opening another one, for many people wanted to post their stories yet didn't have the chance.
  
  Thank you everyone for joining my contest, I think I liked almost every story, and I was amazed at how many talent you writers have.
  
  Thank you yet again...and um. I guess that is it.
