Congratulations and well done! Stay tuned for your banner, along with your prompt for the next contest.
As many of us have pointed out this time around, not only were there a lot of stories, but they were all very good too. So even getting second place is no small feat. Also leave some congratulations for Regulus and OuRaion for tying in second place!
For everyone else: Thank you all for making the 21st writing contest the great thing that it was, and may we continue with the momentum for more great stories and contests to come!
