I want to say a big thank you to @v4vapid for providing us writer-folk with such an original platform for our ideas, and @fortified for coming up with the concept.

And I want to tip the hat to the judges @rhondak and @carolkean for going through all the entries. It must have been a tough decision because there were so many great reads here ( @geke, @steemedchitty, @therealpaul, to name just a few).

Also, I want to give a big ol'shout out to the MSP fiction workshop and all the editors who strove to make the story shine. If you're new to writing or steemit, or you want to make your story pop, these are the people to talk to. Seriously. You couldn't ask for a better community.

Thanks for reading everyone. I can't wait for the next contest.
