Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on March 30, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 200, Silver: 150, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 9 people
- Final notes:
Well, it's the end. I had a great time reading everyone's entries and I hope they all enjoyed my comments and critiques (it's my first time trying this sort of stuff to be honest )
The Winners
Gold (Best Story) goes to Why I Don't Write Romance. A sick twisted short story that seems innocent. Give it a good read.
Silver (Comedy Sector) goes to Mugs Away. A typical male suburban humour that really shows what a true man's made out of.
Bronze (Depression Sector) goes to The Pain That You Caused Me. Last words written by a suicidal woman that really tears you up. Nice read.
Too many honourable winners to describe them all: there's over 9. As I said, honourable mentions went to starters with a lot of potential; these stories all had it.
Congrats to all winners, and consolations to the unlucky ones that didn't get a place.
My next contests going to have something about pets if you're interested in getting together a story for it. s, 's, 's, and even 's are welcome.
