The new deadline for entries is 11:59pm GMT on Wednesday the 9th of November.

After that, we will hold a vote by PM during the following week, ending at 11:59pm on Wednesday the 2nd of November.

Haha, bit confused now. Are the dates meant to be the other way around? XD

Oops. Thanks for the catches and fixes on the deadlines. XD; I was at home sick when I changed the contest deadline, so I wasn't all there.

After the contest deadline has passed, I'll post details on how everyone can vote. smile.gif

Don't be down on yourself! wink.gif Just posting it, no matter how good or bad it is, is a courageous thing not to be taken lightly, and it sets you apart from the vast sea of fans. Do you know how many people don't post their story ideas?! Or write a little, then never finish? Or don't write their own stuff, but instead leave nasty reviews telling you how you could have written yours better? It's waaay harder to write something, then put it out there for others to read and criticize, so I have a deep respect for creative writers of any kind. And don't worry about whether others are good or bad, just keep writing! Each new piece written, each new chapter finished changes you as an author and improves your writing skills! So congratulations for entering! I haven't, and I'm totally envious. I just couldn't get it together in time to participate. So, 20 bucks says you're one up on me just for entering! laugh.gif

And two up on me since I haven't even left any reviews for anyone. 121721.gif

I'm not sure if I'd call it a problem, but what I like least about the contests is that somehow, somebody has to be last and people tend to make inferences from that even if all the entries are good. I've enjoyed reading each of the entries (and the non-entry) and I'm glad that I got to read each of them.


11:59 PM GMT is 6:59 EST. So the deadline is just over 8 hours from this post.

Yeah, I try to do my part by voting at least, and leaving reviews when I can.

It would be nice to award some participant icons for a month or two, then the winner keeps their badge for three months or six months. Hmmm...maybe like when the particpant turns in their first entry, they get awarded a little contest icon to go by their name for that month and until the voting is done. Then when the votes are in it switches to just the winner icons. Don't know th logistics of that, though. Just throwing out ideas. Logistically, that's the easy part!

Voting is exceptionally hard. It usually comes down to what I personally like better, having nothing to do with the quality of the story at all. And I like them all!!

And the winners have been decided!

First of all, I would like to say thank you so much to everyone who entered this contest. Each of you has given everyone here so much to enjoy. biggrin.gif

This was a closely fought contest, so if you didn't make the top 3, don't be downhearted. We still enjoyed your entry and it would be great to see you all at the next contest. happy.gif

Now, here are the results!





Congratulations to every one of you! biggrin.gif Be sure to send a PM to me, with your choice of prizes in order of preference:

The Prizes (for each category):
1 copy of the Naruto Illustration Book! This high-quality book is full of Shippuden art, and is in English.
2 volumes of the Naruto manga of your choice!
A forum special, with perks such as a larger avatar, bigger PM inbox, bigger attachment allowance, and a shiny little star!

The winner of each category gets the first pick of the prizes, the runner-up gets the second pick, and third place gets what's left. Anyone under 18 years old must provide proof of parental consent for us to ship a prize to them.

Thank you to every single person who entered the contest, and I hope to see more NaruSaku from you all. biggrin.gif
