The voting has ended and we now have the results of the Spellhold Studios' Fiction Contest!

We had a two way tie for first place, and a three way tie for second.

1st KedorLao
The Soul of Company

1st vilkacis
Grand Theft Cookies

2nd Choo Choo
The Mightiest Foe Ever

2nd Lysan Lurraxol
Shades of Scarlet

2nd K'aeloree
Inmates in Arms

Congratulation to all of you fantastic authors! Please take a look at the prize story artist list, winners:
  • Ilmatar picked by Choo Choo
  • whatbrick picked by KedorLao
  • SpAE "picked" by K'aeloree
  • Orthodoxia picked by vilkacis
  • Galsic picked by Lysan Lurraxol
Due to the excessive ties, I have rolled to deduce who will be picking first, though obviously the first place winners pick before those who won second place. KedorLao may pick first, followed by vilkacis, Choo Choo, Lysan Lurraxol, and K'aeloree. Please drop a line here in this topic and choose the authors so they can get to work!

All authors names have been added to the entry thread(first post only) now so you can go check who made what. ;) A big thanks to everybody who participated - all pieces were fantastic and the contest was a lot of fun!

This was a lot of fun and the tight race just shows how good the entries were!

Oh man, but now I have to pick someone. Hmmm... we seem to have quite a few really good artists. I think I'll pick whatbrick.

Though Lady Lesatho's portraits are really well done...

And Ilmatar's stuff looks really good...

But then again, Orthodoxia's drawings are really impressive...

Arrrgggg....

Alright. I'll choose whatbrick.

Coolness! Next to pick is Choo Choo - go ahead love! If someone needs examples of our work, I'll be glad to throw in some links.

EDIT:
I am so sorry, folks! There has been a mix up in the artist list in the first post of this thread. Lady Lesatho is not supposed to be there, but Galsic is. I'm fixing the problem right now. If someone wants to reconsider, that's okay, it's our fault that the list was wrong. ;) Sorry about that everyone!

I find it amusing how every time I reload it seems that all four of them change when they hit.

Sheesh, Ilmy! How do you do that. I was going to mark them off, send a pm to the artists, and I come here and boom you've got it all taken care of. :cheers:
