edonil Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Alright, I've gotten in the votes, and gotten a ton of feedback on how to improve this all around for next time. Before we get into the meat of all this, I want to thank everyone who participated, and thank you all for being patient with me. There will be a second preliminary round to try a different format and hammer out some more of the rules. Anyone who has time, please, please join in, we'd love to have you! For those who don't have the time, just want to let you know that's okay, the 'official' version of the contest will kick off after Gencon and I hope you'll join in then. Now, onto the main event. I do have the votes stored, if you want to know your specific score I'll let you know, just send me a PM. I'm going to announce the top three, in reverse order cause it's fun. For second runner-up, we have a tie! FetidStrumpet's The Flames of Madness and Hardlec's Green Faery! Excellent work, both of you. First runner-up: Thechosenone's The Wolf in the Fog. And our winner of the bragging rights for the preliminary round is... Mako with First Move! Congrats to all of you, and to everyone else who got a story submitted, you did some great work, and I'm hoping that you'll continue to participate as this moves forward! As an editorial/organizer note, I want to especially thank UberGruber and ThePandaDirector, both of whom gave great feedback to the competition and to their fellow writers. If no one has any objections, I want to start the next round submissions on Friday the 13th of July (cause I'm funny like that). The Mystery Ingredient, the changes to the format, and the deadlines for everything will be announced on Tuesday the 10th of July. Why Tuesday? Because I have class assignments due Monday. Once again, thank you to all the participants and everyone who gave feedback on the competition. Keep up the great writing everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 :Paralyzed_Puppet: I'm shocked! But also dead chuffed of course! I have to say, this morning reading through all the entries was some of the best relaxation I've had for ages. It's been fun seeing all the writers sneak out of hte woodwork and write things, and how differently everyone sees the same theme. And major credit to Edonil for actually getting it all organised and putting up with my totally inept timing! Looking forward to the next round to see what we all come up with. 1500 words, on a 4 week turnaround including voting, was it? *grin* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear me, it's no fun if you can't hit a moving target!

UberGruber Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Well done, Mako; it's a worthy winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Wouldn't have been as good if I hadn't had all the feedback! That's the best bit of the whole thing. And a good reason for me to make an extra effort to leave something vaguely useful on people's stuff now I've had time to read and think!

Thechosenone Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm thrilled with second place it looks like and also very happy with the participation and attention paid to the whole process by Edonil and the his judges. Can't wait for the next round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution Black Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Congrats MAko! It was a fun thing to do, so cheers to Edonil for getting it going and to everyone else who contributed, either through the stories, the feedback or guidance, or even all of the above! Looking forward to the next one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
