This announcement has been far too long in the coming, but we're finally ready to announce the winners of the Holiday Double Contest! We had some great entries, all of which can be read here, but when it came down to it, we decided to award the top honors to:
QueenMindi, for her fabulous Christmas limericks (be sure to check out the rest of her poems, too!),
echo_sacket, for Untouched and Unkissed, a story about a girl's New Year's resolution to kiss as many boys as possible, and
Lessagirl, for I Resolve; I Hope, about a woman resolving for another.
We liked all of the entries, though, and thanks to everyone who participated!
I did promise two pieces of news, so here's the second, extremely exciting piece of news. SFF has gained a new co-administrator: Fires Light! I'll still be around, but we will now share administrator duties. Hopefully, this means we can work more efficiently to make SFF a better place for you all. I'm sure FL will be a great administrator, and we hope you agree!
I know there were a few people who wanted to enter this contest, but just weren't ready to submit their stories by the deadline. Because only two stories were submitted within the deadline, I've decided to extend the deadline by one more week, until midnight of January 6, 2010. (seems weird to see "2010", right?)
Hopefully this allows enough time for more entries. If you've already submitted an entry without putting it in the contest category, you may go back and change it to the contest category if you wish. (I did change an entry or two I saw, but don't hesitate to switch your story's category if I missed it.) And if you haven't written a story yet... well, here's your chance!
As always, any questions can be PMed to me or any other moderator, or sent to shurtugalfanfiction (at) gmail (dot) com.
