FOR ALL.
          I have been putting this off for weeks and I just wanted to announce that Mystery/Thriller/Horror and Poetry results will be results in a day or two. 
          For the remaining genres, the judges have had a few problems with keeping the time right, but Teen fiction should be expected in a week.
          Thank you for your understanding!

FOR ALL.
          Here are the amazing pieces written by all these winning authors! If you want a good read, pick any of the stories below and I'm sure you'll enjoy it! They have won in their winning genre for their creativity, writing ability, and compelling story.

          6 more genres to go! Please be patient as not all the scores are in. Congrats to the winners above and if you did not win - that is okay. It was very competitive, and you all deserve a round of applause for your writing. Don't lose hope!
          
          (If your genre was already announced, please go PM your judge and say thank you! They have all worked very hard and deserve a pat on the back.)

FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS AND JUDGES
          Number one, if you are a judge, PLEASE PM me the final score. It is crucial. I do not want to have to judge as I'm already the judge of 4 genres as a sub since the judge quit. Gowrl, trust me, I will be on your rear end if you don't send them in.
          
          Number two, I am happy to announce that Non-fiction and Fantasy are ready for the final results in a day (within 12-14 hours after I send this post). Romance will follow shortly after with New Adult. 
          
          Number three, I am still looking for a Horror/Mystery/Thriller judge. I'm praying that anyone knows or is someone who is willing to be the judge. Thank you.
          
          That is all! Please be reminded that if you didn't receive an award, don't worry, I'm sure you will win more in the future - not to mention the competition was really fierce (Trust me on that). Y'all have a talent and that is writing, it is a present that will take you far! 
          
          Thank you!
          Take care.

Thanks to ShortyWolf20 for this suggestion!
          Here is the timeline for the results. Also, the original post I sent about the turbulent results did not send so here it is!
          Please note that THIS IS NOT SET AND WILL100% NOT BE ACCURATE as I haven't received all the results!! This is because not all the judges have submitted the complete results AND not all participants have followed their corresponding judges! Only one person followed their judge for New Adult and as of right now, their first.
          
          January 27th - Short Story and Action - possibly non-fiction
          January 28th to 29th - Romance and Non-fiction (if not out previously)- possibly Poetry and teen fiction
          January 29th to February 1st - New Adult, Poetry, Teen Fiction (if not out previously), Fantasy, Fanfiction
          February 1st-2nd = Horror/Mystery/Thriller 
          If any one of you knows a horror/mystery/thriller judge that could fill in the role of the previous one, please tell them to PM me! The previous judge had personal affairs to sort out so it's an open slot.
          
          Thank you!
          
          Take care.

No bribing shall be in place, and you can expect the results by late December or the start of January (2023!). There are a lot of participants, and I can't thank you enough for joining! All of you are talented that it's almost mind-blowing (I feel like a kindergarten teacher lol), and I will personally give out stickers to people I feel have done well.

          Remember - first impression isn't everything!
          Results will be announced with each individual getting their score and, if they want, feedback from the judges. We will also privately chat your scores and placing amongst the other participants (unless you don't want to (we respect your decisions)).

          Hi there! 
          Judging start's very soon but we are still missing entries in Teen Fiction so please tag any of your friends who have stories that participate in that genre. 
          To all of the participants, if I did not comment or tag you on the accepted entries, then apologies, your entered genre has been filled and I recommend you try out for another. Unless you have a reasonable or a personal reason, the set numbers for each genre is solidified. 
          NO BRIBING - jut a reminder ;)
          Have a great day and winter! Thank you.

FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS AND JUDGES
          Hey!
          As of right now, most of the spots have been filled. I believe that for Fanfiction and Teen fiction we still need entries, so do check those out. We need more judges for Action and Nonfiction.
          Another thing is: NO BRIBING!!! YES, I'm one of those people. I also do not accept bias for any participant during the competition or you will be blacklisted.
          Anyways - A quick reminder is that I would like it better if you don't tag me into other competitions (totally not intimidated).
          Anyhoo, I loved seeing all the entries! I did do a peek or two into some of the books and I can say y'all have potential in writing! 
          Wishing all the best and a good luck in the competition!
          Have a great day
          Thank you
