KIDLIT CONTEST WINNERS!

[havefaith22]

Thanks again, everyone. I'm so glad my story was well liked, but some of the scores were so close that quite a few of the others could have easily won. I'm looking forward to seeing who wrote what, and letting them know what I liked about them.

I hope Smish got off to a good start this morning! Without a "present" from her cat.

Swachski, I voted #1 for yours! I couldn't get over how clever "Food Fight" was. I was so impressed with it I even read it aloud to my husband, then got choked up at the end out of sheer respect. (Yeah, I'm weird like that) You're awesome!

... when I first read Smish's list and saw the 29 next to my story, I thought I'd come in 29th.

HA! That's exactly what I thought about mine, only my score was 23, so it took me a bit longer to figure out it didn't mean 23rd place. But, yanno, that would have been okay, too--it was fun just to participate.

Congrats to everyone who entered!

 

[bettielee]

whoo hoo! congrats to the winners, the subbers and the readers! yay!

I still want to know who wrote The Other Side of the Mirror, I really enjoyed that one!

 

[Kitty Pryde]

Can the brit who wrote "Dinninja Lady" please out themselves, and then finish writing the novel and send it to me to read? Kthxbai.

Who wrote what? I am very keen to see if I guessed the authors correctly...I thought I could recognize at least 5 of em from the writing style. Tho my own story was not my usual type of thing at all so :shrug:

 

[swachski]

I thought "Danninja" lady was great too! It had a few typos, but I thought the story was so funny and full of action, it got one of my votes. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing Mr. Brett?

I also want to know who is responsible for the line: “Yes, I am Commander McNutts from the Planet Fuzzybuns.” That one got me giggling.

3 Downsized Desperation: 12

I claim this one

C'mon everyone! I so want to know.

 

[that redhead]

Congrats everyone!!

There truly were some awesome stories, so creative and fun, and I laughed my patootie off at many of them!!

 

[Lavern08]

I still want to know who wrote The Other Side of the Mirror, I really enjoyed that one!

Me too - that was one of my Top Three.

 

[swachski]

I thought the MG voice in yours was perfect, Sydneyd! And I loved the twist of the mom being the lunch lady — what kid wouldn't DIE if that happened?

 

[Lavern08]

... And I loved the twist of the mom being the lunch lady — what kid wouldn't DIE if that happened?

Exactly why Syd's got my vote too - Lurved it!

Exactly why Syd's got my vote too - Lurved it!

Thanks to both of you!

I hope others come forward, I WANT TO KNNNOOOWWW!!

 

[Flur]

Okay, so I'll step up and claim mine even though it didn't do so well My entry was The Cafeteria and My Big Mouth Equals Trouble.

I hoped it would do better, but I'll take this as a learning experience and writing exercise. There really were some great stories up there. It was such a fun thing to be a part of.

Yes, and yes! The space squirrels were very "Fat Men From Space", that was my other favorite. I'd go absolutely nuts (har har) for that kind of stuff as a kid.,,,,,,,,

I liked this one! I thought there was something very Ramona Quimby/Bart Simpsony about your main character, it was a fun mix!

 

[starbeam]

Though I tied in tenth place with twelve votes, I'll admit to writing the poem, My Bitter Enemy. I just hope people enjoyed it.

 

[swachski]

Flur, your story made me think of my husband who always says he used to wolf his food down, even if it was disgusting, so he wouldn't prolong the agony. I like the paragraph full of lies — I can picture a 3rd grader doing something like that!
