I would like to take the time to thank Shawn and Dupin for holding this competition and reviewing everyone's stories! A lot of them were quite long. In particular I'd like to thank them both for the warm reception of my story (which, I'll admit, surprised me a little since I wasn't very confident in it). I really appreciate the feedback and am super appreciative to see two great users (and writers) take the time out to read and review my work. Thank you both very much.

On another note I'd like you to take your time and choose any story of mine to review. I'm not picky. The Shimmering Tree is the shortest, while Ixodida is the longest, so feel free to pick whatever appeals to you/whatever one suits your schedule the best.

On one more note - I'm honoured to lose to the Damn Batman and Levi whose stories were brilliant. Really enjoyed them and they were both extraordinary tales. I remembered reading The Ersatz Cat and thinking "Ah fuck he's ruined it for the rest of us now". Jokes aside, you guys wrote great stories and I'm glad to see they got the attention they deserve. Congrats on winning 1st and 2nd places! It was a close one.
