Challenge accepted. (Need to clean it up a bit, but just finished it.) Nice one! I wasn't expecting something that developed in such a short space of time.
I had a lot of fun with it, so it came out quickly. I had to find out how a capsuleer could get a sinus infection and stomach flu in the first place. Once I figured that out, the story kind of wrote itself. Space Fonzie was just an added bonus.
It was good practice as I want to write more.
Someone needs to pick up the rest now. I want to read about Sansha Claws. Really. |

So-- asking on behalf of all of us. How goes first-run grading? And is there any estimate of how much tie-breaking will be needed, or how long it will take?
The wait is agonizing! I want to see who took first.

Sorry for the delay, all. We're waiting for one last set of scores. If they don't come in in the next few days, we may have to proceed without them. The tie-breaking round should be quick. In that round everyone has already read every story, so all they have to do is rank a few tied stories, in relation to each other. It should be quick. |

If I might be so bold (haha see what I did there  ) as much as I am looking forward (okay so I look at this thread more than once a day haha) to the scores from the judges and finding out who came where, I have no qualms in waiting for the last set of scores to come in.
I would rather wait another week or two (Christmas and work can be extremely busy for some people and they're judging in their free time) so that all scores are in.
At the end of the day its upto you Sam, but I'm just voicing it out there that I (and I'm sure others (all in favour say "aye!")) don't mind waiting a bit longer.
EDIT: Cheers for the update on the progress.
Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |

You could have made that better by calling your character either Vladimir or Estragon. Alas, you ruined it...
As its Christmas and they are marking in their free time, I think it's safe to cut them some slack. I know I've been super busy this holiday 
EDIT: I was going to put "Patience young one. All in good time." But as I started typing it I forgot what I was putting (until after I had already posted)

Congratulations to the winners! The competition was fierce, but your stories impressed four individual judges enough to come out on top. And congratulations all of the writers! If you didn't win a prize this time, you dreamed up a tale (or some tales), crafted it into a writing, and created you finalized work(s). No doubt the experience made you a better writer-- don't stop now! (A note-- we had stories for at least three non-native English speakers this time. A special salute to you guys; that takes courage, and you did great).
And thanks to our sponsors, all fine patrons of the arts. You all gave just out of generosity, just to encourage people to exercise their talents and have the EVE community expand its mind a bit. Here (in alphabetical order) are the people who gave the prizes to the writers:
High Drag: an EVE podcast GÇô 1 PLEX
Max Arthie GÇô 2 PLEX
Prince Kobol GÇô 2 PLEX
Rifterlings corp GÇô 3 PLEX
Somer Blink GÇô 100 PLEX
Thanks, Somer, for coming back this year as a major sponsor. And thanks, individuals and corps from the community, for digging deep into your wallets and transferring some hard-earned ISK to writers laying they souls on the line. You all are excellent.
And finally, thanks for generous time donation to these crucial people:
CCP Eterne (reader-judge)
CCP Falcon (reader-judge)
Mike Azariah (reader-judge)
labtechwar (contest banner art)
All stories are here. Check them out, it's good reading. Writers, some comments will be up on the contest blog page soon. Good stuff all-- somebody put up another contest soon! Don't stop now, keep the tale-telling momentum going! |

Hi Everyone!
I'd like to thank Telegram Sam, CCP Eterne, CCP Falcon, and Mike Azariah for all the hard work, time involved, and reading all the stories. 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. Seeing all of the generosity in this community is inspiring!
I'd like to thank the community for such a great turn out and participation. I'm so happy to be part of this community with all the 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... and those who made the effort to submit! Completing a full story is something to celebrate. And we all put a piece of ourselves into this art. Keep writing!
<3
