Closed for Judging
Pearl Aqua Dreams Writing ContestHello everyone! The contest is now officially CLOSED!
Thank you to everyone who sent in entries and worked hard to finish them on time! I've got a lot of thoughts whirling in my head, but I'll save those until I announce the winners. ^^ So for now, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back for making it this far with me and get some rest!
Final reminder to those who have been granted extensions: you know when your extension dates are, so please finish by then! I will not be sending you reminders or updating this contest thread until the announcement of the winners, so it is up to you to stay on track and finish on time! Your entry must be marked COMPLETE by 11:59PM PST of your respective extension date in order to qualify for judging.
Just some final housekeeping before I go to bed. I will be doing a final sweep of the entry list and crossing off any entries that do not qualify. If you feel that I have crossed off your entry in error, please let me know so that I can rectify my mistake immediately! I will also be reorganizing the entry list, so it's a bit easier for me to sort through. I have already added Key's solo debut album, Face, to the prize list and that is set to release on November 26! So when it drops next week, please support him and shower him with all of the love he deserves! :D
The Best Of karma prizes will be adjusted when all of the extension dates have passed. And I just realized that I didn't mention something very important, regarding the Best Of prizes. They will be awarded without the inclusion of bonus points. According to the Judging Criteria, up to forty bonus points can be earned, but they will be ignored for these special karma prizes, because I'd rather focus on the writing quality of the stories for this portion specifically. So the rankings for the Best Of prizes might end up being different from the final ranking, which gives some variety and recognition that some entries might not have had otherwise.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact me via the comment box, my wall, or private messages. I respond to all messages within 24 hours. And if you'd also like to be a karma donator, please contact me so we can discuss the specifics. I will repay you for your generosity!
If you were unable to join this contest, finish your story, or you want to join another contest and possibly win more merch, then head on over to Shoes of a Unicorn Writing Contest! :D The fun is never-ending there (actually tho) and I'd love to read more from you all! ^^
Anyway, that's it! Once again, thank you so much to everyone who participated and supported this contest! I really appreciate it and I hope you all had fun writing stories this past year! ^^ Go ahead and read everyone's entries to support each other! :D I'll be back on December 20 with the final ranking list (and probably a brand-new contest giveaway bc wynaut). Until then, have a wonderful day and see you next month! :)
And everyone, please take care of yourselves when the time comes around. If you need someone to talk to, my inbox is always open! <3
