Contest Winners Announced!
At long last, I'm proud to announce the winners of the big writing contest!
First, my Minions, let me say that Auntie Heather was completely blown away, by both the over 300 (!!!) entries and the quality of stories that were submitted. Excellent stuff and this wasn't an easy one to judge. But after a lot of reading and rereading and rerereading, I finally have settled on what I think are the top three entries. So, without further ado...the winners!
In third place (second prize), an autographed advanced copy of TENTH GRADE BLEEDS, is FANGS by Dominick Schlueter! Dominick's presentation was wonderful, but his story was just incredible. It was action-packed and full of vampy goodness - just the way I like 'em!
In second place (first prize), winner of a TENTH GRADE BLEEDS mouse pad (featuring the cover of TENTH GRADE BLEEDS) and an autographed advanced copy of TENTH GRADE BLEEDS...is BROKEN NIGHT by Sara Kellar! It was really the quality of writing that won me over here. The characters were very intriguing, but more than the plot, it was how beautifully Sara wove the words together that got me. I could tell that Sara absolutely has a love of language and it really showed through in her writing.
And the winner of the Grand Prize (a Vladimir Tod hoodie -as pictured on the cover of EIGHTH GRADE BITES- and an autographed advanced copy of TENTH GRADE BLEEDS) is PRE-TEEN SLAYER by Ethan Plouffe! WOW. What a great story! Ethan is immensely talented and kept me guessing until the very end. Such wonderful twists and a fast, exciting pace, all crammed into such a short story. Wonderful!
Congrats to all the winners! Paul will email you today to tell you what you need to do to collect your prizes. FANGTASTIC job, Minions!!!

Sounds like the stories were awesome! Congrats guys! I planned on entering, but I couldnt think of anything to write, even though I am an author in the making. I guess I had writers block. LOL. Anyway, congrats guys!! Can't wait for the next contest!!
Haha, I should've paid attention because mine went over 1000 words. Oh well, doesn't mean I'm a bad writer, they're just people better than me. XD
