Winter Writing Contest 2012: Finals Poll

All the top finalists have been decided and so the last step in deciding Fakku's Reader's Choice award has started. To all finalists: Good luck, your literary ability has carried you great lengths. To all voters: Now is the time to read each of these entries with fervor because the fate of these entries fall in your hands. I hope this experience has been enjoyable for all the participants.

The winner will be obvious when the poll ends in five days. It would be three normally, but I'm lengthening it to encourage genuine reading of the entries...That and us judges need more time to judge fairly, at least the weekend. The winners will be announced at the end of this poll.

As previously said: When you read each submission, please take a moment to stop when you finish and write the author a little note how and if you liked it or some constructive criticism they could benefit from. I know that if you are an author, you may want the same done for you. Happy reading and may the most astounding piece of literature be the victor. As a judge, I will withhold my comments until after the contest is over to those who request it.

Entries in this poll:

AssasinZAssasin submitted A Little Thing Called Companionship

sora_coltrane submitted Winter to Summer’s Prose

Cinia Pacifica submitted The Perfect Companion

Livided submitted The little things...

I'm reading and critiquing all or most of these before I vote. Brace yourselves, writers.

Three down three to go.

I believe Livided's piece has the best quality amongst the choices listed here.

This I have to agree.

Just checked in here on a whim and hey, the final poll is here.
Favourites : Rise(Cinia) and Livided, i can pretty much tell the two winners already
Still, making the finals is an accomplishment, so i'm well and content with this result. Good luck still though, everyone!

Good luck to of all finalists. You guys truly deserve it.

And thanks to the poll I can see some lurkers around the contest all along, hmmm.

So wait, am I allowed to vote for myself? Or would that just be considered petty?

You can and it is?

Vote for the story you liked the most, some will like their own the most, others won't.

Haha look at that amazing lead by Livided, saw that coming from far away. Early Congratulations, i suppose.

Well I must say congratulations to the six for reaching the finals at least.

Don't forget, everyone did a good job just for having the courage to participate. What you did doesn't count for nothing. CONTINUE WRITING!

[font=Arial Black][color=blue]Mod Note:[/color][/font] As requested, the poll has been stickied.

In my opinion, everyone would like to win something, but if one is really keen on writing, the process of doing so should bring about great joy.

WINNING BRINGS GREATER JOY.

Still, i like joining just for the experience it gives me as a writer, and them reviews that are helpful as heck!

Me, second time as a finalist and i'm just so damn proud to have made it this far.

Voted! So late, lol XD

Not to bring anyone down, but I have to say we can see the result already...

Congratulations goes to Livided for his winning submission The little things...! The results show it clearly that he is the winner of the Reader's Choice award. The fact that the community has chosen your entry as their favorite is no small matter. It shows your skill and talent in the area of your literary expertise. Thank you, and I hope we continue to see more wonderful things come from you.

Congratulations also go to Cinia Pacifica for his entry The Perfect Companion. You have rightfully earned the Runner-up position!

Stand by for a winners thread to come in a few days when we will also reveal the winner of the Judge's Choice award.
