Round Four: Winners

Shoes of a Unicorn Writing Contest | Round Eleven | Closed for Judging

  

announcement

Hello everyone! It's been a long month, but I have managed to complete the judging for Round Four! Before you scroll down to see who the winners are, I have a few things to say. First off, I am just absolutely floored by how good the entries are. Seriously. There were one-point differences between many entries and it was so difficult to rank you all. If you did not place, please don't be discouraged. The quality of entries this round was very high and if I could, I would give prizes to all of you because that's just how good your work is. It was such an honor for me to read all of these amazing stories and I can only hope you continue to write, because you all have some serious talent. So please, don't base your writing worth on whether or not you won. Know that you've done an amazing job already and it was very painful for me to have to only award three people. Another announcement I have is regarding a rule I had in place, stating that winners of a round could not enter the immediate following round. However, due to some good points brought up in the feedback form, I will be officially abolishing this rule as of today. Therefore, winners of Round Four may participate in Round Five as well. Anyway, I hope you all had fun with Round Four, because I know I enjoyed this a lot! And I'm very excited for the start of Round Five next week!

Congratulations to you three! Please PM me by June 24 to claim your prizes. If you do not, I will give your spot to the next contestant(s) in line. Like I said earlier, if you did not see your name just now, please don't feel like you wrote a bad story. You absolutely did not. I spent a long time thinking about who to choose, because it was just that difficult. All of you are amazing and I want you all to continue writing, because you all have such wonderful stories to tell.

And now, I would like to announce the winner of GOT7's Just Right EP. This entry scored the highest out of the GOT7-centric stories that were entered this round.

Congratulations to you as well for winning the special GOT7 album giveaway! Please PM me by June 24 to claim your prize. If you do not, I will give your spot to the next contestant in line. I don't know if I'll be doing these extra giveaways in future rounds. I got lucky this round since my friend had an extra copy of the album. But if you do like these, then I will consider doing more in the future.

honorable mentions

I would like to give honorable mentions to four other entries as well. They were very good and I greatly enjoyed reading them.

Chapter 57: You owe us no explanation at all. But, it's really kind of you to do so. Everyone's been going through a storm of reality right now. Currently, my grandmother is in the hospital with stage 3 cancer. Although there isn't a "great" time for anyone to fall ill, now is an especially awful time. Please don't neglect your personal healing for the sake of this contest! My heart is with you, Emily :)

Chapter 57: Hey, Emily. I'm so sorry to hear about the losses in your family. My condolences. I was getting worried as well when I haven't heard from you in a while. Thank you for the update and there's no need for the apologies, my friend. Family and real life comes first. I hope you're doing well too! Take care, and have fun reading the rest of the entries!

P.S. That quote at the end definitely holds true. Hang in there. <3

Chapter 56: Hello~ I just unchecked the subs access only from my entries. Apologies for the lateness. I kept forgetting to do so when I was on the computer. I hope you enjoy reading everyone's entries. Good luck with the judging and to those who entered!
