Hmmm. Poetry or story?

...I'd LOVE to try my hand at a conspiracy story with a Christmas/New Years/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa theme.

Can you u2u us to announce contests?

First the poetry contest, then a short story contest after, Sofi. Can't test the volunteer judges too much. They'd surely bail.

Stay tuned. Results coming in soon.

The three winners of the HHWC are:

Inheritance by berenike - First prize

Those Were The Days by jackflap - Second prize

Wendigo by Skid Mark -Third prize

This was not an easy decision, because the judges were all over the map on the submissions. As a result, everyone who posted gets honourable mention because there were so many picked for either being a part of the top three or chosen to be among the 'honoured'. Congratulations to all the contestants who participated.

So... to make a long story short (pun intended), everyone who submitted will shortly receive two applauses from yours truly.

To the judges, a hearty 'thank you' for your efforts.

Congratulations to the winners!!

Just wanted to say thank you. I really do appreciate it, especially after I enjoyed the other stories so much.

Congratulations and well done everybody.

Congratulations to all of the winners! We had wonderful submissions and lots of them, so good work everyone!

Congratulations HHWC winners. Applause for jobs well done.

Very much enjoyed all the stories.

Everyone's work is so impressive - judging must have been very difficult, but so far, I greatly approve of your choices!!!

Thanks so much, contributors and judges.
