AND NOW ANNOUNCING THE WINNERS

THIRD PLACE: VALERIO

I think you really got the friendship between King and Fox here. The story isn't very humorous, but it's certainly very compelling as a character piece.

Prize: Story posted, and a free Housepets style drawing!


SECOND PLACE: SINDER

This story has absolutely no place in canon but oh my dog was this a fun read. I was sorely tempted to make you the winner anyway, but decided against it when it went too far. Still, really excellent stuff.

Prize: Story posted, and a free Housepets style drawing!


FIRST PLACE: TWO_TWIG

This story is fun, funny, and also very much like what I wanted from the setup. There are some editing issues, but now since editing is included in the winner's package, it makes it the best story for the frame. Thanks for doing my work for me! I mean, I hope you had fun!

Prize: Story edited and published in Housepets Book 2, both parts of the story illustrated, $50 (or equivalent amount in commissions), and a Housepets t-shirt or flat-color commission!


HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Indagare - I was pretty close to picking this story because it was well-written and also hit the right notes, though it didn't have quite the amount of scope I would have liked. (Not mouthwash)

Buckdida - Prequel story with original characters; very entertaining, but completely outside the frame of the contest.

angelusbr - You're still learning, but let me tell you that your story in its ideal form would have come THE CLOSEST to everything I wanted from All The King's Men.

Thanks a bunch for entering, everyone! Sorry I took way too long to finish this out, but better late than never, right?

. . . right?

Okay time to hide in the bomb shelter for a while.

OH ALSO, EVERYONE WHO ENTERED, PLEASE PM ME WITH THE NAME YOU'D LIKE TO BE CREDITED BY IN THE BOOK FOR ENTERING THE CONTEST. IF I DON'T GET A PM BY PUBLICATION DATE I WILL USE YOUR FORUM SCREEN NAME.

RICK I AM FURIOUS YOU DIDN'T PICK MY STORY.

Awesome!! We finally know who won!!! What a relief....

Congrats to everyone. Your stories really were awesome! Loved Twotwig's!!XD

I would be so disappointed in myself for not winning if I had actually submitted anything. Congrats, all.

Somebody may have to go get Two_Twig, he hasn't logged onto the forums since April

This was actually a secret plot to get him back to the forum.

Olympus recognized me.
I could die happy now.
TWIIIIIGG!! Come back and bask in the glory of your mighty victory!

Congratulation everyone.

Huh. Didn't expect you to put up the results so early. Grats to Valerio, Sinder and Two Twig!

I really should pull up my sleeves! *puts on some goggles and gets a blowtorch*

CONGRATS TO YOU THREE
GOOD JOB

I know, it's only been nine months, what the heck

totally worth the wait!

I assume too much =(

Heh, awesome! An honorable mention. Congrats to the winners!~

Also, thanks to everyone else who entered, too! Those were some good reads at times.

*phew*

Congrats to the winners! See what happens when more people enter a contest? Excellent job everyone!

I don't know what you guys are talking about I've been here the entire time. Anywho, someone mentioned free punch and pie and- OH MY GOODNESS what is this

Hey, that Two Twig guy, back from the dead! *super-big hug* Congrats, bud!

*hands you a gold fiddle*

Congrats on winning <3

Ah, at long last, we know who won!

Congratulations to all those who won, I will be off to read them now...

I knew I wouldn't be picked as the winner, but I never expected to get an honorable mention sicne there were many other good stories. I still have a long way to go to be a good writter.
But, as Valerio said, I can die happy now.
BTW: congratulation to the winners!

Can't believe I didn't win. Maybe I'll try writing something next time :P

Herm. The original post with the entrees seems to have dissapeared. Any chance of finding them again? Or are they somewhere and I just haven't found them again yet?

Ah, right, there it is. Didn't quite see it cause the size. Thanks Dissension.
