Hello everyone! The Pod and Planets Fiction Contest has come and gone and I just want to say once again how amazing the whole experience has been. I was basically on my first week of the job when Telegram Sam contacted me about some CCP support for the contest and it has exceeded all our wildest expectations. We had 101 entrants, 66 in the 8000 Suns in New Eden category and 35 in the Day in the Life category.
It was a pleasure to read the stories and there were some hard choices to make. Even after all three of the judges had their scores in, there were numerous ties to break. But, in the end, we have come up with our winners.

Grand and 1st Place winners can expect to be contacted shortly regarding their prizes. All others should expect to receive their prizes in the near future.
We would like to extend our thanks again to Telegram Sam for organizing and running this competition, EOH Tom and the entire EVE Online Hold'em team for providing ISK and PLEX prizes, SomerBlink for providing ISK prizes, MMM Publishing for providing EON subscriptions, and Nvidia for providing the grand prize graphics card.

Congratulations dudes! I mostly approve of this list, there's some good stories getting some well-earned kudos. I haven't read them all, but certainly 'Anvil of the Nameless' and 'Hunted' were great pieces.
Despite not placing, I'd love to get a few more eyeballs on my own story - you can read it here.
...shameless, aren't I? :)
Countdown for the next contest starts.... NOW! |

Grats to the winners.
I would be interested in having the opinion of the judges on each story. To see what are the strong points and shortcomings of each story. Just so it could help us improve for the next contest. Creator of The EVE Planetary Planner and The EVE Ships Skills Planner Author of Immortal Warriors |

Thanks to Telegram Sam for conceiving and arranging a great contest with an unbelievable turnout. Thanks to CCP Eterne and CCP Falcon for what must have been an amazing amount of reading and difficult judging, and to all the sponsors for some truly awesome prizes.
I'm looking forward to my EON subscription and ISKies!
Congratulations to the community for such an outpouring of writing and to all the winners ... I'm looking forward to reading all the winning stories! |

Congratulations to all the winners! Great stories that faced some fearsome high quality competitors indeed. And if your story didn't win one of the few prizes-- congratulations as well! As Eterne and Falcon said, there were many, many good entries. The quality of entries was high and there was more good stuff than we had prizes for.
If you want feedback on your story, you can EVE mail me as well. And at some point I'll post something about trends I noticed among the entries (themes, favored protagonists, favored villains, etc.)
Well done all! |

I'd like to thank Telegram Sam, CCP Eterne, and CCP Falcon for putting this fiction contest together, all the hard work, and time involved reading. I am sure the judging was difficult with so many great entries. I've really enjoyed the reading as well.
I'd like to thank all the sponsors for the really great prizes.
I'd like to thank the community for such a great turn out. The participation was fantastic! I'm so happy to be part of this community with all the wonderful and talented people I've flown and interacted with over the years. All of you, ladies and gentlemen, really make being part of EvE worth it.
Congratulations to all the winners!

Want to thank CCP Eterne for the pm, since I could reply directly ill do it here.
When I wrote the story I tried to put to much in it since it was meant as an intoduction to a larger story. I am afraid this made things unclear, the different Amarr stuff was not added randomly.
The characters will all interconnect later, where I everything will be a lot less stereotypical and more grey. In the end it is allabout the ascension of jamyl. Idecided to tie everything together using a prophecy of a child. This prophecy is also present amongst the blood raiders. Jamyl and falek grange want to use it for their own benefit, the khanid kingdom throws its weight behind jamyl in an attempt to gain influence, the cultists do it for a religious reason. On the other side the bloodraider will team up with dochuta and less savory matari elements. This ties in with the bloodraider activity in the bleaklands and he disgrace of saracen by dochuta, because he will turn out to work for jamyl.
Hope that explains a little,

I was very impressed by the number of people who responded with so many great stories. You have all made my long trips through New Eden so much more of an opportunity to open a browser and read wonderful game related fiction.
Thanks to Sam, the jury and the sponsors for making it all possible, and congratulations to the winners.
I enjoyed reading and contributing and I hope everyone feels the same even if they didn't win. |
