Round Eight: Winners

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



WINNERS

ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello everyone! I'm back as promised with the anticipated results! Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry! I was floored by some of the concepts you guys came up and that made this judging period one of the hardest yet. There were so many great stories and I had to really dig deep to decide who would ultimately come out on top. The rankings were very turbulent throughout this judging period and I finally had to force myself to make a decision, since my own deadline was drawing near. If you'd like my judging notes on your entry, please comment or PM me! I'd be happy to give you feedback on your story and help you grow as a writer. Anyway, I hope you all had fun with Round Eight, because I know I enjoyed this a lot! Round Nine, as you can see, is also open for submissions, so here's another opportunity to write some great stories! And if you'd like to also participate in a contest in which you WILL be rewarded for your hard work, no matter what place you get, feel free to join my SHINee-centric writing contest, Pearl Aqua Dreams! I will also host a Monsta X-centric writing contest of the same format once that one has concluded, so do keep an eye out for when it starts next year!

WINNERS

And now the moment you all have been waiting for: the unveiling of the winners!
 
First Place
 
Second Place
 
Third Place
 
Congratulations to you three! Please PM me by September 29 to claim your prizes. If you do not, I will give your spot to the next contestant(s) in line. If you didn't place, please don't feel like you didn't write a good story. I went back and forth on several stories, wondering how I'd rank them, and I came to this decision after three days of painstaking deliberation. I really, truly enjoyed all of the submitted stories and I hope I can read more from you all in the future!
 
And now, I would like to announce the winner of EXO's The War album. This entry scored the highest out of the eligible EXO-centric/Libero stories that were entered this round.
 
 
Congratulations to you as well for winning the special EXO album giveaway! Please PM me by September 29 to claim your prize. If you do not, I will give your spot to the next contestant in line. The next two album giveaways will be during Round Ten, so I'll reveal the details for those when we reach that point.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

I would like to give honorable mentions to two 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: 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. ♡
