Congratulations to all those who entered. We are sorry it took so long to get a result, but we promise to do better for the April 2013 competition. We hope you enjoyed writing your entries as much as we enjoyed reading them. This competition had quite a few new entrants with some fresh ideas, and some interesting ways of weaving them into a story. We are receiving more and more international entries, and this year had quite a few mystery and sci-fi stories.
Start writing now for our next competition. We are now accepting entries.
We hope you enjoy the winning entry, and look forward to reading more from all of you in the future.
