I'm....not sure what to say. Except the usual: "holy crap," "thanks so much," and "I can't believe I got picked for first." The most confident I ever got was maybe third place at best on a good day. This really made my day: thanks for taking the time to read one of my lengthiest yarns, and for considering it worthy of First Prize. It really encourages me to keep creating stuff, however harsh I may be on myself. I'll also be sure to check out the rest of the stories on this list when I get the time for it. Congrats to everyone who placed!
