(DOR) Dialogue Open Revisited Writing Contest.[WINNERS ANNOUNCED]

Yes indeed only three days left... WOOOOO If your holding out don't hold out much longer because you ain't got much time left.

Good luck to all!

Posted my entry. In before the deadline

Just a quick question. What is the criteria going to be in regards to judging all these great entries? I probably should have asked this prior to writing, but I was so caught up in the moment that it totally slipped my mind. Not that it matter s too much I suppose, it was all fun anyway. Good luck everyone!

The rules are listed in the very first post. The judges will have that to go on and the rest is up to them.

Ah okay, I saw the rules, just didn't know if maybe there was a guidance for the judges. Thanks mrwupy!

At midnight EST this this contest shall officially be closed.

Better hurry if you have something to enter, this ones about over folks.

And so it comes to a close. No more entries will be accepted after this moment and I wish luck to all that have entered.

If the judges will kindly send me their selections I will collate the results and make the announcement of the winners at the earliest possible time.

Thank you all for joining in and keeping the spirit of creative writing alive.

Sweet! good luck all I can't wait to see the results, lot's of great entries I've enjoyed reading, also picking up some great ideas for future works

I just finished reading all the entries I had missed over the past few days. All I can say is WOW. The amount of intelligence and talent is overwhelming. I eventually felt stupid for wanting to leave comments over and over that said the same thing. So, instead, to all entrants....Great stories and I enjoyed them all!!!

Aw...I was looking forward to your comments!

You are right there is a lot of talent here, and it has motivated me to continue writing here. Next project is already in the works.

Good luck to everyone!

And I quote mrwupy, 7-31-2006



j/k! We know there is a lot to read!

I’d like to thank all the members to entered the dialogue only revisited writing challenge. Each of you expressed an amazing gift with the written word.

With 23 entries in this writing competition the judges all agree that it was both a joy to read and a nightmare to judge so much talent in one place. Still, Judging had to be done and at the end of the day it was agreed that the following were the best of the best.

1st place: Cameoii. Best of Intentions. 25,000 ATS Points.

2nd place: GuiltyByDesign. Walking after Midnight. 20,000 ATS Points.

3rdPlace: AccessDenied. With One Last Breath. 15,000 ATS Points.

The three Honorable mentions will receive 5,000 points as well. They are:

Space cadet for Cry Baby, argentus for Everybody does it and jackflap for A Bad Day of Fishing Is Better Than.

Congratulations to the winners!

Thank you once again for being a part of ATS and the writing forums in particular. Hopefully we’ll have a new competition running soon and you’ll be able to express yourselves once again.

Congrats to you all!!! I would not have wanted to judge this contest!!

I don't even know what to say...Thank you, judges. Your job was much harder than writing a story. This was a really great contest idea. I wish several of our authors would continue on with their stories. There are so many that left me wanting more! Congrats everyone!
