    Nope. It has finished. Took only five months.

    Might want to change the title to Result or Finished @Nom de Plume

    Isn't it against the rules to necro a thread?
    Joking, glad to see this thread alive, I guess.

    Congratulations @KingOfMangonia for your win!!!! Your poem certainly fit the theme very well. Chilling and jarring to the reader.

    Thank you @Nom de Plume for your efforts. It sure is time consuming to go through all those contest participants entries.

    Thanks for the judges who were able to put some time into reading every entry and give feedback. It is interesting to see how others think on the piece in such a way.

    Also a big thank you for all the participants! Without you we wouldn't be able to read such a variety of chilling stories from this forum. Well also because there would have been no contest without participants.

    Good job everyone! *throws confetti into the air*

    Considering that horror genre isn't what i'm good at(considering that i'm a scaredycat), i got a pretty decent score. Congrats to the winner!

    Well, while it does make some sense, most of the people in NUF are readers, not translators, so it would exclude most users...

    @Nom de Plume Thank you for your hard work! Thank you judges for your comments! It's very interesting how you could all detect how rushed it was. XD Glad you enjoyed the premise anyway. It was a pleasure to be a part of this event. :)

    Congratulations @KingOfMangonia! Super creative spin and poetry is always a tough style, you did awesome!

    Isn't it almost easter though?
    Spring has already started, and summer is also just a few months away.
    Maybe do something with those?

    I mean more for the actual style of the contest itself. Is the current style fine? So far I've only heard that the lack of spoilers might put people off.

    Maybe public vote next time? But anonymous.

    Edit: this was a stupid idea

    No no no.
    What stops people from saying "That work is mine" and completely destroy the spirit of anonymity?
