Still December 8, 2013... and now that all winners have been announced, I will officially conclude this semi-contest. The talkative and not effective me, of course, will still have some things to say, so bear it with me, okay? hehe.

On Evaluation:

1. Not easy. Definitely not easy. Gonna think twice before I ever want to hold a writing contest in the future, haha.
2. As I stated in the previous chapters, to me, a story's main elements are only plot, characters, and writing style (grammar and other mechanics are included in the writing style section). But of course, above that, in the end, a story has to be able to reach the readers. This is the message that I really want to convey through this contest.
3. I did say that I will let my evaluation for the winners visible on this contest page. But I apologize, I'd have to amend that. Any evaluation/comments (for winners and non-winners) would be sent to either the comment box or PM of each entry. So, you might have to struggle a bit to see each others' evaluation. I won't totally take back my words –I did still mention the reason why I chose the winners. Only that, I did it in a summary way.
4. I am quite positive I will get some haters due to my comment. If any of you is offended with my comment, please trust me, nothing is done with the intention to bash or to insult. I was harsh to some of the entries. I do apologize in advance for that.

On Prize Distribution:

1. Goody bags will be delivered to each participants (winner or not) soon. Expect them to be delivered this week –at the latest, next week.
2. For winners, karma points will also be delivered within this weekend. I'll let you know once it's been sent.
3. Similar to my previous notes, winners who have not completed the story will only be entitled for ½ of the karma points. Let me know once you've completed your story, and I will give the remaining ½ karma points to you.
4. For the 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd winners, since you are also entitled for a graphic/poster prize of your choice, do tell me what kind of poster/pairing do you expect me to make for you.

On Concluding this Semi-Contest:

Thank you guys for writing the lovely fanfics for my OTPs. It truly was a treat! Thank you! I may not be the best judge out there, some of you might even think my judgment is unfair –but trust me, I really gave my whole attention when I read each of your story.

I hope you enjoy the contest; I hope my comments on your story can be helpful somehow; I thank you all for the amazing spirit –and fellow writers... let's never give up on writing (fanfic or not, in any form)!
