Via Jonathan Wojcik - and Rev Storm -
It's an overall very weird, rocky write-off we had this time, and the future of the contest is a little hazier than it's been before. We've made a few changes to how winners work this time around, and if we do it all one more time for Winter 2020, there may be some overhauls to how the whole process works. We'll just have to see! In the meantime, please thank Rev for once again doing the ENTIRETY of technical work, sorting and reading everyone's entries despite running into repeated setbacks of their own, and thank you everybody for sending in your writing. IMPORTANT STUFF:
THIS YEAR'S WINNERSI've also foregone the usual short descriptions I give to each winning entry; I feel like those aren't so fair to the other entries, and sometimes my subjective summary of a story might be what turns someone off, sets them up to expect something different, or even sometimes spoils the whole thing!
