Hello everyone! Happy New Year! May your 2017 be filled with lots of happiness and success! It's been so much fun reading all of your entries and they were all so amazing. I agonized over the ranking for a very long time and there are one-point differences between most of the entries. I had to reread the stories several times to decide who would eventually come out on top. To put into perspective how great the entries are overall, I calculated the averages of all the rounds run so far and this round's average is almost SEVEN percent higher than the second-highest average. You all worked so hard and it really showed in your writing. It's times like this when I wish I were rich, because then I could spend more to give everyone prizes for your hard work. I'm really happy with the quality of stories submitted and I'd absolutely love to read more from everyone! Do give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done! Anyway, I hope you all had fun with Round Five, because I know I enjoyed this a lot! I will be officially starting Round Six once all of the winners have contacted me in the next few days, so please anticipate that!

Congratulations to you three! Please PM me by January 3 to claim your prizes. If you do not, I will give your spot to the next contestant(s) in line. Once again, this was an extremely difficult choice to make and please don't feel disheartened if you didn't see your name just now. Like I mentioned earlier, the quality of stories submitted this round was astounding and I'd love to read more of your writing in future rounds. You all are amazing and talented!

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: Take all the time you need! Health and personal life come first and that's perfectly fine. No need to apologize. 😊
I hope you can get some rest, and don't forget to take care of yourself. 💕

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!

Chapter 56: Hello there, just dropping by to say that I get so giddy whenever I see this story thread updated even if I didn't join the competition. I would love to be a part of round 12! I only hoped that I discovered this way earlier. What I'm trying to say is, thank you for hosting this contest. Aff community is fun with the likes of you. ♡
