WHO'S READY TO HEAR WHO THE WINNER OF THE WRITER GAMES IS!!???? A huge, chocolate-filled, 'Thank You' to all of y'all for participating in the Games--whether as a Writer, a Reader, or BOTH! It has been an awesome contest, and I know *I* have enjoyed reading all the AMAZING stories!!! Our grand winner was chosen by majority vote (and let me tell you, it was a close contest between our three Finalists). For everyone who has won prizes, expect an email from us tonight through tomorrow. And without further ado! Let's GET ON with the epicness! THE WINNER CONGRATULATIONS on winning our second Games, Arindown!!!! Your story embodied our 2021 theme so well, and the inner journey of your main character--the newly crowned Emperor--was expertly handled. And Our Runner Ups:Skye Hoffert, author of FATE'S GAME! (mentored by Millie Florence) Kaitlyn Krispense, author of LEGACY OF LOVE (mentored by Kara Swanson) What Our Readers/Voters Had to Say:"I love that they used the story of Jesus dying on the cross!! They draw you in, wondering who it is, and then it clicks!" (about Legacy of Love) - Nicole K. "All three of the stories were amazing! Everyone did a wonderful job this year." - Bethani T. "I want to be best friends with the main character . . . she's fantastic!" (about Fate's Game) - Remi B. "All of the stories were extremely enjoyable to read. FATE'S GAME had an extremely satisfying ending. LEGACY OF LOVE had emotion woven masterfully through it, and I loved the Easter story retelling. A FIST OF IRON had a super captivating beginning - I loved Travion's character arc and his act of mercy at the end." - JHD P. "Aah, it was so hard to choose! All three were so amazing! Great job, everyone!" - Rachel L. "Absolutely gorgeous. So vivid and emotional and immersive. Superb." (about Legacy of Love) - Beka G. "I loved every one of the stories! Fate's game had all the scheming and dark fantasy I love in writing. Legacy of Love nearly brought me to tears, the descriptions and tension in the writing was spectacular. A Fist of Iron, it was brilliant, I love the internal dialogue and how one moment changed this Emperor. All of the contestants were incredible and should be so proud!" - Elizabeth H. "I felt like A Fist of Iron was a brief, but heartfelt, observation of the struggles we sometimes face between meeting the expectations of those we love and have looked up to and realizing that they were not always correct in the way they viewed life. It is in that moment of realization that strength becomes the ability to do what is right and not what is expected." - Suzanna B. A HUGE thanks to our Mentors and Judges! It wouldn't be The Writer Games without them. So go give them a follow on their social medias! (just click on their names to visit their sites) *waves below* JUDGES: Beka Gremikova Rhia G.
