Okay, closed officially for judging! I will have the winners up within the next few days.
(I just need to go over it one more time with my co-judge, canislupis)
Good luck, all!

Firstly, I would like to say that this contest was insanely difficult to judge. (And I'm not just saying this to be nice--just ask my lovely co-judge, canislupis!) Each of the entries was a true delight to read and was considered for first place. Why did you guys have to make it so darn difficult to judge?! I almost lost sleep, tossing and turning for hours on end at night, for Heaven's sake! (okay, that's a BIT of an exaggeration...)
That said, I will get onto what y'all are probably killing me to announce...
FIRST PLACE goes to Prokaryote for I am Fire (prose) and Gadi for Blue Manhattan (poetry).
I Am Fire>> This was incredibly original and the writing style was really refreshing. The end caught me by surprise and make me laugh. Congratulations!
Blue Manhattan>> This was a really unique way of portraying a city and a very nice poem overall--it would have gotten first even if there were other poems, I promise! ^_^
Second Place goes to cat4prowl for Fiery Rain.
This piece was written very originally and I love the way you portrayed the simplicity of the kitten's thought process without making the animal seem stupid, which a lot of authors tend to do. Good job!
Third Place goes to Marionette for Beer Stains.
The voice cracked me up! Your coffee-table MC is so opinionated and self-centered... and hilarious. ^^
Fourth Place goes to Sam for Chicago.
I really loved the format and style of this piece--not to mention the sense of mystery and the implied background of the girl and boy. I also thought telling it from the POV of a ticket was quite original and effective.
Honorable Mention goes to Wolf for Alhpess.
My dear Camille, I really loved this piece. Your descriptions (as always) were beautifully vivid while still leaving some up to the reader. Your plot also seems very original and intriguing!
Everyone (even those who did not place) should be expecting a critique on their entry. Then, in addition I will give out the prize critiques to the winners--could you all please let me know which pieces you want critiqued?
Again, this was a tough contest to judge fairly and lupis and I had to resort to really insignificant little things in order to not have everyone getting 1st place.
Congrats, everyone!
