The Finalists Are . . .
Like I said earlier, three judges, three totally different lists of winners. (And one big argument.) The following six contestants took either first or second place on someone's list. (One judge insisted on a tie for first place.) Their stories were all amazing, so each of the finalists will be the recipient of a special prize.
To all the other contestants, it was a pleasure reading your TALES OF ADVENTURE! Thanks for entering!
(The finalists, in no particular order.)
MOST BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN STORY
This award goes to International Mastermind, who had us hooked from her very first sentence, "And the head rolled to Amy's feet." Her story started wonderfully, ended wonderfully, and kept the judges on the edge of their seats in the meantime!
MOST TERRIFYING CAUTIONARY TALE
Claire Maine-inn takes this prize. Her account of breaking into a deserted school in search of adventure had the judges reading with their hands over their eyes. (Which isn't easy!) We're all so glad you and your friends made it out alive!
MOST TANTALIZING CLIFFHANGER
Pearl's tale of a shifty neighbor with possible Mob ties left all the judges dying for more. Pearl, you MUST tell us what happened with Tony! Keeping it a secret would be horribly cruel.
MOST REMARKABLE TRUE-LIFE STORY
Spring's life is apparently too exciting for fiction. (If only the rest of us were so lucky!) After reading about her near encounter with a real-life burglar, the judges are all still sleeping with the lights on.
MOST INVENTIVE TALE
L. Harder, somewhere there's a judge who's furious that you didn't win top prize. Your story of a painting haunted by a sinister ghost really was one of the most exciting stories, ever. You have a truly bizarre imagination--and we hope you put it to good use writing more stories.
MOST DELIGHTFUL CHARACTERS
Ghosts, sleuthing skills, and hippies. Lovelenaxanoria's story had it all. But above all, the judges really loved the characters you created. They seemed wonderfully real--particularly the know-it-all little brother. He should have his own series of books!
