Now you've got me thinking

Just WHAT could the membership come up with if the next writing contest was based on a toothy little mummified creature in a taped box.

I bet the results would surprise us.

As chosen by a panel of 5 independent volunteer judges, here are the winners of the contest:

First Prize

(25,000 ATS points)

Flatwoods - (SXWC) The Final Warning

Second Prize

(20,000 ATS points)

drsmooth23 - (SXWC) Silence and Darkness

Third Prize

(15,000 ATS points)

questioningall - (SXWC) In the Bowels of the Earth, Survival?

Great contest! Ever since first joining this forum three years ago, I've been hoping to win 1st prize, and it means a lot to me. A big thanks to everyone who contributed their skill, creativity, and wonderful ideas by posting their stories, and a big, HUGE thanks to the judges, without which we'd have no contest at all.

Your post has been a BIG hit with my family and friends, my mom was even on the verge of making an account just to tell you that she thoroughly enjoyed your entry.

Thank you to all the contestants! Great work!

All of these winning stories (and others also) have huge merit. I think I've read all the SXWC stories by now, and each of them has a lot to offer, including those that didn't win any ribbons.

What I especially like about this forum is that you can take your time and dwell on each of these entries, look for deep meaning and subtext that you only occasionally find in the other ATS forums (where subtlety and finesse of self-expression is, unfortunately, sometimes lacking.)

I think everyone will agree with me on that.

Congratulations to the winners. Keep writing
