Oh, man, this is a tough one! I had a hard time deciding between SKI's, Zalazabad's stories. (Phantasma of Hades has a typo in its name, btw. )

But after beating my head on the wall for a while, I figured I'd make my choice by the highly scientific method called the "Ceiling method". That is, when you paint the choices in large letters on your ceiling, and then close your eyes, and run around for five minutes, blind-folded, and then stop and raise your hand up. Whichever choice is right above you is the right one.

Hey, since I really had a tough time deciding, maybe I should make a DL, and vote for you?

Just don't tell, DC, 'K?

Hmm, it seems like I will be second for ever. Oh well, I just want to thank all those who voted for my story, It seems that the best story won. Congrats, chairmanmeow

Congrats, meow!

Zalzabad, I'm sorry your story didn't win. But I hope you will not be discouraged and will continue writing. This, after all, was a very competitive round.

SKI, see, it's not only you that voted for your story. It matters to many people. (Well, at least five others, unless you made some DLs. ) And I am sure also that many of the people that did not vote for you thought it was a very tough call. I hope you give some more brilliant creations, and I assure you, you will soon win one.

hey, It doesn't really matter, doubt I'd actually get anything at the gift shop anyways

Third is a solid position, and frankly all that Manifest Deserves, IMHO. They are a fine pair of stories that laid my defeat.

Nah, I will continue to write my stories. BUT I am taking a very difficult and intence Uni couse this year, so my writings will be very few and far between. I will proberlly start the sequal to Phantasma of Hades during the first semester break (june, july) when I will actully have time. I will finish Yuki's tale sometime, all I have to do is put in the last chapter and its done. Just have not had the time to write stories (also, I have lacked the internet connection. it just costs soo much to maintain. Thats enough blabbering on.

Congrats Chairman, great story

Im Sorry also Z it seems it was not meant to be, I myself voted for your truly epic Roman saga and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

It was indeed a tough choice again as the quality of the stories here is IMHO second to none, SKILORDS work as ever was great as was Cbraunds which did not get its justified quota of the vote, but was none the less a stunning piece of work.

On my part I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who takes the time to write for us, it gives me great pleasure to delve into all these masterpieces.
