I've just finished reading "Versions of Vincent" by @ConsciousRoyal, which was both a Round 2 Winner and a Round 2 Ambassadors Pick in the ONC 2026!!!! ✨✨✨ It's a gripping thriller about mistaken identity with a lot of surprises, a lot of scares (cue screaming face emoji), and a chaotic sidekick who's an instant reader favourite!!!! Good luck for Round 3!!!!

@ella_rowan Yaaayyy, thank you so much for the lovely shout-out, Ella! I’m very pleased the judges liked this story, because Celia and Mr Winter have really stuck with me! I’m currently trying to expand it into novel length (which makes a nice change from trying to cut things!!)

Huge congratulations to @auronautic, who is a Round 2 Winner in the ONC2026 with their story "The Two-Body Problem", after already winning in Round 1!!!! ✨✨✨ They took a gamble by trying out something new, and it has paid off, so well done for being brave and for writing such a beautiful story. I urge everyone to give this story a shot - it keeps winning because it's SO GOOD!!!!!
