"Trials and Troubles for the Twins and TK" WINNERS

Journal Entry: Tue Sep 16, 2008, 8:19 AM
Alright everybody...the votes are in, have been counted, and we have our winners! Would sincerely never have been able to choose between all of these awesome stories myself, and I know the picking wasn't easy for the folks who did vote...but I want to thank them for taking the time to put their two cents in and give a hand. Think we'd all agree that every one of these stories were winner-worthy, and that everyone poured a lot of time, effort, and heart into these tales for us. So please, let's give everyone a well-deserved round of applause for providing us a lot of fun and some really special surprises over the course of this thing. Every single story was full of wonderful moments, surprises, and thrills, and your portrayals and handling of the characters was a real joy for me, personally. You did TK and the twins much honor, and I want to thank you for that, from the bottom of my heart. Just as much as for you taking part, and helping this contest be all that it turned out to be. Never expected this thing to go as amazingly as it did, or to have so many people get involved. I really hope you all had as much fun as I did - and I know a lot of other people did - with it all, and in sharing one another's tales. Hope we all made some new friends out of this, and found some new authors to follow and enjoy. Because goodness knows, there's enough great writers around DA here...and it's been a real privilege having so many of them take the time to work with Cody, Bryn, and TK. :)

Also, I want to take a moment to thank everyone, participants and non-participants alike, for bearing with me through all the rough patches while this contest was running. Know that things on my end - particularly in the latter stages - didn't run as smoothly or as "nicely" as they could or should have, and I'm very sorry for that. I've loved every minute of this contest, and every one of your stories, and the effort and time and care you put into them. They'll always be special to me, and so will you folks. Just wish circumstances over the last little while had allowed me to show that more deeply. You all deserved better than I've been able to give of late - and I hope you can forgive me for that. The support and simple understanding throughout has been deeply appreciated, and thanks again for bearing with me folks.

Anyways, before I ramble on too much longer...time to get to what ya really came to see! ^_~ Once again, there were two categories in this contest - one for TK stories, and one involving Cody and/or Bryn - with a set of First, Second, and Third-place prizes going to the top three stories in each category, as determined by votes cast by the readers. Which brings it out to:


"Trials and Troubles for the Twins and TK" Contest Winners

TK Category Winners
First Place: David-Presents (6 votes)
(Prize: Choice of either a one-year DA subscription, or 3 Commission pieces from me)

Second Place: Side-Effect55 (5 votes)
(Prize: Choice of either a three-month DA subscription, or 2 Commission pieces from me)

Third Place: Shadowsoldier247 (4 votes)
(Prize: 1 Commission piece from me)


Cody and Bryn Category Winners
First Place: Sabriel-Stock234 (8 votes)
(Prize: Choice of either a one-year DA subscription, or 3 Commission pieces from me)

Second Place: Experimenter73 (7 votes)
(Prize: Choice of either a three-month DA subscription, or 2 Commission pieces from me)

Third Place: POLE7645 (3 votes)
(Prize: 1 Commission piece from me)


(A complete tally of vote-counts can be found here: [link] )

The winners in both categories will be contacted via Note today, with congratulations, and to discuss their prizes with them.



Also, I'll be keeping the list of entries up at the bottom of my journals for a while so that people can have "easy access", and keep reading and enjoying them. One more time everybody, thank you SO much for taking the time to write, participate, read, comment, vote, and most of all - I hope - enjoy this thing. It's been a tremendous joy, and huge fun, for me personally. Hope it was for all of you too. Take care, be well and (though we'll be seeing plenty of each other between now and then, I hope! ^_^ *crosses fingers and looks over his shoulder for the next lurking crisis* ) hope to see ya around for the next one!

^_^

About two weeks ago, which is more or less how long he's been absent.
=shadowsoldier247:iconshadowsoldier247: Oct 1, 2008, 9:20:45 PM
Okay. Thanks a lot for letting me know, I really appreciate it, and it's a big relief to know he's okay. Btw, how long has it been since you talked to him?

He told me that he had serious computer problems (another computer died on him).

Let's just be patient and wait.

I haven't heard from you for a long time, brother. Please call me or something when you get this, I'm worried about you, man.

Hey, Wynter, I finally managed to finish up the first part of the story I promised you. I'm not sure if you'll like it, but I did my best, so just tell me wht I did wrong so that I can improve ^_^

THIS IS A HUG CERTIFICATE ! !

Send one to all your friends who you think deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the person who sent it to you)!!

You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!

If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them!

If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends

If you receive this back 2 times, you're off to a good start! (Unless you sent it to yourself! That's cheating!)

If you receive this back 3 times, you're a good friend.

If you receive this back 4 times, you're truly loved as a friend!!

Alright, thank you very much, I'll make sure to tell you when I upload it on here...or at least the first part, depending on how long I make it >.>;
*wynter333A:iconwynter333A: Sep 15, 2008, 5:22:41 PM
Oh, by all means go right ahead! I'd be thrilled to see what you have in mind. ^^ If you have any questions about her, feel free to ask, and I'll help you out however I can.

Thanks for asking, and most of all, for being willing to write a story involving her. Have fun with it, and will look forward to reading, my friend! :)

Hello, Wynter! I just wanted to ask you if it would be okay with you if I wrote a short story with TK in it. I know that it's too late to enter it into the contest, but I may as well try an get a feel for her personality *shrugs*

I just wanted to get your permissions first

NO!!!!! I'm not mad at you at all! Don't think I ever COULD be mad at you... ^_^

I haven't been ignoring you; I just got sidelined (yet AGAIN) out of the blue, with a touch of what's turned out to be pneumonia, some technical troubles, and a few personal issues...so I hadn't been around DA hardly at all, and hadn't seen the notes. But now that I DO know that they're there, I'll get to 'em (and back to you) ASAP.

:hug: I'm very sorry for making you sad, or worried. Not mad at ya, big sis...and I can't imagine a circumstance where I would be. :)
