007 can say he had it easy.  Harry Bond just had to live through our two stories.  It was the judges that had the hard time to pick the winners from Her Majestic’s best.  It may sound easy when there are only two stories.  But with three categories, it’s all or nothing.  And therefore…the winners are….

The award for Best Overall, Characterization, and The People’s Choice Award goes to:

Harry Potter, MI-13 Agent Extraordinare by Milarqui

The award for Originality goes to:

A Quantum of Solace by Mistress_Lrigtar

The winning stories are now prominently listed in our Featured Stories section.  The Challenge category is back open.   Those of you that have multiple chapters or need to do some editing may continue at this time.  If your story is completed, please ensure it is edited and YES, as completed.

The 2013-3 Challenge will start July 1st.  Somebody wants to change sides.  Guess who and how.

I would like to thank my many judges who worked hard for this Challenge: A few are new; I welcome aboard.  Thank you AM, BA, BG, EB, FF, JM, LJ, NS, & S/.   You know who you are. Thank you very much for all that reading and judging. Your time to help out is quite valuable. The Challenge would not exist if nobody judged them.  As it was all or nothing, a number of judges picked the winners.  Also, 30 votes were cast for The People’s Choice Award.
