Winter Writing Contest 2012: Winners

This year's annual Winter Writing Contest has reached the end and the winners have been decided by both the judges and community! We judges apologize for the delay, a few life events came up that interfered with the process.

Without further ado, congratulations goes to sora_coltrane for winning the Judge's Choice award with his most favored submission of Winter to Summer’s Prose. Your piece was very eloquently written, with very few errors and displayed a cute story that covered big concepts and transformed your ideas into a quaint story that really represents the little things we think about during this precious time. We also wanted to honor xninebreaker as the Runner-up for the lovely and heartwarming entry Nothing to Give. I have felt personally attached to these incredible characters as more and more of their lives gets revealed with each passing entry. Thank you for gracing us with their story.

Congratulations also goes to Livided for winning the Reader's Choice award with his exceedingly favored submission of The little things... as the Writing and Fanfiction community determined it to be the top entry in the final poll. Also, a work well done by Cinia Pacifica for his submission of The Perfect Companion, as it was deemed the Runner-up. You have improved so much since you started writing in this section, Rise. I'd just like to say I'm very proud of the progress you've made.

With some details about the prizes, sora_coltrane has officially won the translation of a piece of Hentai manga or doujinshi by FUKE. However, some of you may have noticed that the winner of the Reader's Choice award was also in fact the one who supplied the prize for it. It has been decided between myself and Livided that we will allow sora_coltrane to trade his prize with Livided if he so desires. I will provide an additional prize for Livided if you decide you like your prize more, so don't feel pressured either way. It's your choice.

Regardless of that, both sora_coltrane and Livided have won a forum signature made by our very own judge: Circe. Please PM her all the details you would like. I would suggest it contain your status as the winners of your respective award, but that's entirely up to you.

Additionally, xninebreaker and Cinia Pacifica have won a forum signature made by the beneficent Nekohime. Please also PM her all the details you would like.

Although, the forum rank title of "[color=#9D0A0A]FAKKU Writer[/color]" was never confirmed for this contest, I will let someone among the higher ups know of the winners just in case it could be granted to them for their most deserving entries. No promises, but I hope they'll grant it.

Lastly, special thanks goes out to all the submissions and authors who participated in this year's contest and I hope it was as rewarding for you as it was for us, on behalf of the judges: Circe, SamRavster, and myself. Thank you, it was an honor to arrange and judge this contest for you all. I will now provide my specific corrections and comments on entries to those of you who desire it.

May next year hold even greater things for us all.

whoa, congratulations for the winners, you all had tried your best for this event =D

also, for the rest of the participants, thanks a lot for joining this contest! Regardless of the outcome, I'm sure the effort had already paid off in one way or another~

Hehe Congratulations Sora, well deserved also for Xnine, both works I think deserved to win! Also gz to the runner up in readers' choice Cinia. ^^

There were a few others as well I could've seen winning but even if you did not win I hope we all had fun and learned a lot. Was a fun contest and I want to thank Xenon, the other judges, the people who helped with prizes and the senior writers on fakku for their part in making this contest successful.

Hope to see you all for another contest in the future!

I'm sure judging was difficult as there were many great entries. And, congrats to Sora for winning the Judge's choice~ And, I'd like to thank Xenon, Circe, and SamRavster for all the time and effort put in to make this contest happen!

But darn! So close, yet so far!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I'd love any remarks, comments, and criticism from you Xenon, as well as any of the judges. You can simply post onto my thread~

Congrats to the winners.


I want your opinions, Xenon.

Congratulations to all the winners, you know who you are, though I guess I won't be joining you in the winners' party, hahaha. I guess there is always next time.

And for those who entered but didn't win any prizes (that includes me), you are of course not leaving empty-handed. I have gained a lot experience and had loads of fun, too, and I hope you all did.



You just have to put up a Pokemon video...

Oh and I want your opinion on my piece, too, Xenon.

I'll be back for the next contest.

I wonder if I can make the summer one happen...

Haha, Congrats to everyone who won! I'll hope to see you guys again in the next contest, i suppose?

Congratz to all the winners!
