Alright! Judging is finally done. Yes, it is 100% true this time. Barring any emergencies/disasters occurring for myself in the next day or so (it would have to be something really serious), the results will be posted Jan. 5 - Jan. 6, YC121 (depending on your time zone). Sorry for the long wait, and thanks for your patience, writers.

It is done. Well, almost. We have a tie to break between two stories, so two prizes are still to be awarded. That should happen in the next day or two. (More suspense, sorry about that). But the other results are here.

Congratulations, winning writers and all writers! It might take me a few days to distribute all of the prizes.

Thank you for all the hard work judging the entries.

It appears that the winning story hyper-links are not correct, they take you to stories, but not the right ones?

Again, great event - thanks to all!

Thanks for the heads up. :+1: It wasn’t supposed to have any hyperlinks at all…

Final results from the tie-breaker round are up and posted on the webpage. So let it be written. So let it be done.

Thanks to the judges and all the other writers.

Genuinely humbled by the prize, didn’t think I stood a chance against the competition this year.

See you guys next year!

But wait, there’s more… :slight_smile: Sorry, don’t mean to ramble, but just a few things:
-If anyone would be interested in co-coordinating a Pod & Planet for Fall of 2019 with me, please EVEmail. The duties and time commitments shouldn’t be especially onerous. Primary is thoughts and ideas about how to get a load of extremists to rap out tales, upon keyboards. Other than that, not a very hard job at all. :smile:

-Please note that Lunarisse Aspenstar’s Capsuleer Writing Contest comes up in the Spring. Ye guys have more time to write, create, present. Yes indeed. :slight_smile:
