And The Winners Are…. |
“Merlin’s smelly boots!” This was a very close Challenge. In the “Seven Words,” there were eleven stories submitted. And this time around, we had fifteen judges, quite a large number in these times. But the more judges the better. Every story got a vote for something. It was so close, it was a matter of who had the more second place votes, three, or four, or five. There were so many stories tied for an Honorable Mention, I couldn’t choose one.
And now the results…
The award for Best Overall goes to:
”Does Your Boyfriend Have Long-Term Potential?” by lilyevans_Jan30
The award for Best Originality goes to:
”Taking The Taste Out Of Peanut Butter” by Spenser Hemmingway
The award for Best Choice of Words goes to:
”Romance--All A Girl Wants” by jennyelf
The award for Best Effects goes to:
”Seven Strings to Tie Me to You” by hpgirl7777
The winning stories are now prominently listed in our Featured Stories section. Those of you that have multiple chapters or need to do some editing may continue at this time. The Challenge category is back open. If your story is completed, please ensure it is edited and YES, as completed.
The 2009-5 Challenge is coming very soon. Find a dark corner and start planning.
I would like to thank my many judges who worked hard for this Challenge: AM, BP, CM, DL, EB, GC, IV, JH, JP, JS, KS, MC, NS, RS, & YC. You know who you are. Thank you very much for all that reading and judging. It wasn’t easy this time around. The Challenge would not exist if nobody judged them.
Some authors have asked if I would tell them how well they did in the judging. If you wish, e-mail me and I will tell you your results.
PS.: Seven words, seven days, and dig out all those old Harlequin romance novels!

Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2009.09.15 - 10:58PM to say:
I cannot believe that they allowed a Shih Tzu, let alone a fire breathing one, into a Challenge story!
Pranking! Hmm...? Thy names are Gred and Feorge! Uhm...is anyone looking to adopt a cute little...puppy? Smoke detectors are included. Sigh... I'll work the little guy into the next story I guess.
A big thank you to those who enjoyed my Challenge story--Eric B.
