Commendable Crit Contest WINNERS!!!!

[jpskewedthrone]

So I said I'd announce the winners of the Commendable Crit Contest (run at the Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Online Writing Workshop) on March 15th . . . so here I am! This will be a drive-by post though, since I'm at Lunacon and there only free wireless is in the lobby. (I'm scrunched into a chair with the laptop in my lap. I managed to claim a spot before most of the con-goers woke up.)

There were two categories: newbies to the workshop and veterans of the workshop. The first place winners win a years worth of free access to the workshop and signed copies of all three of my books in hardcover (The Skewed Throne [Amazon; Mysterious Galaxy], The Cracked Throne [Amazon; Mysterious Galaxy], and The Vacant Throne [Amazon; Mysterious Galaxy]). The second place winners get a half-years worth of free access to the workshop and signed hardcover copies of the first two books (The Skewed Throne and The Cracked Throne). And the third place winners win a free copy of my first book, The Skewed Throne. So without further ado, the winners are:

Newbies

Frist Place Winner: Krista Hutley
Second Place Winner: Sylvia Hunter (sylvia_rachel)
Third Place Winner: Steve Chapman

Veterans

Frist Place Winner: Kathryn Allen
Second Place Winner: Rhonda Garcia
Third Place Winner: S.E. Curnow (makoiyi)

I'll be getting in touch with each of you to get your address and whatnot so I can mail out the books. Also to ask how you'd like the books to be signed (to whom, special messages, ect). For those that won the free access to the workshop, I'll get in touch with the workshop managers and I assume they'll get in touch with you.

I hope everyone had fun with the contest and learned a little something about their own writing in the process!

Yay! Congrats to the winners and thanks again for running the contest.

Would it mess up your book calculations for me to have 'The Cracked Throne'? I'd really love a signed copy to match my other two. No problem if you can't.

Congrats to the winners! And many thanks Joshua!

As for OWW, I was very impressed with the critiques people gave. Signed up official like and it has already paid dividends on another story. Well worth the time and money.

Thanks again.
