Seasonal Writing Contest 2011: Winners

This year's annual Winter Writing Contest has reached the end and the winners have been decided by both the judges and community!

Congratulations to Jericho Antares for his most favored submission of The Wings of Ether as the judges determined it to be the top entry, along with all of Fakku's Writing and Fanfiction community in the final poll. We have deemed him deserving of the forum rank title of "FAKKU Writer"

Congratulations also goes to Find_Vega for his exceedingly favored submission of Of Hot Chocolate and Secret Santa's as all of Fakku's Writing and Fanfiction community have deemed him in the runner-up position to the judges' choice and thus earns him the "FAKKU Reader's Choice" award.

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; myself, Rise-chan, and winner of last year's contest, tsuyoshiro.

I would also like to declare that I still have my judge's notes on every piece and in an effort to not spam our section, I will only be offering my comments, critique, and corrections based on request and in their respective threads. Send me a PM or mention here or in your thread if you would like them, and if you want them posted.

Thank you.

JERRY FINALLY GOT THE TITLE.

SO PROUD.

Ah fancy seeing my name in the honorable mention list, didn't expect that, thank you very much O_O

Anyways, it kinda sucks losing to you guys but be prepared for my revenge, I'll get back at you all with a bang by next time hahahahaha!

(new writings I mean, ofc)

The "awesomeness" category was really just an excuse to extend my own honorable mentions, though they are interestingly unique and incredible in their own right.

lol awww I didn't even make honorable mention kupo~ ah well there is always next contest

Don't sweat it, you made it to the final poll so people do care a lot about your entry. I'd put every entry on that list if I could, but what's the point of a list then?

Congrats, Jericho. Hope to see you around in the boards more after this. ^w^)b

Oh my, I was a bit disheartened when my story didn't do as well as I thought in the polls, but to be among the honorable mentions is really quite amazing. I thank you.

And! Of course, congratulations to Jericho for rising to the top! I truly believe that it was an amazing piece of work that deserved the victory.

Congratulations, Jericho Antares. I shall contact Jacob really soon about this. The title shall land down to your head from the heavens very soon.

And congrats to everyone who made it to the honorable mentions. Good luck on making improvements. I'll be posting my comments to the entries I had as my favorites; so please ask me if you want my critique, comments and opinions about your entry.

May we have greater things in store for us next year.

Congrats to Jericho Antares and everyone who made it to the final poll! Honorable mention get! Next stop, TWO honorable mentions!

Clearly I derp, I got an awesomness badge?

My thanks to the judges and community. It's because of a community like this that I have been able to develop into the author I am today. It's been a bit coming. Seriously, TRY and read my oldest stuff. I get goosebumps thinking about it.

Oh, and Art: you'll see me around here, just nowhere else. EVER. That's a lie. Video Games every once in a blue moon.

That's pretty much my situation, we're one and the same.

Make sure you spam 10 more posts to say you were once an elder.

Funny story: I always wanted to make writer before I made elder.

Perfectly fine by me, Jerry. With the contest now over, I can concentrate on my pieces and post them here, hoping to get some very constructive criticism from the likes of you and Xenon.

Congrats, sir! :D

Ask and you shall receive.I just specifically do requests after a small debacle I'm sure a few people here remember.
