Interesting to note how the awards for the "runners-up" have changed over the last few comps!

For this one, No4 has been given an "Editor's Choice" badge (like the 3 winners); the next four have a "Recommended Read", while the bottom two (9 &10) have nothing.

For the "Historical Erotica", both 4th and 5th place got the EC, and the bottom 5 all got RRs - so the quality was obviously higher for that comp!

For "Money Talks", only the 3 winners got ECs, and the next 7 all got RRs.

For "This is Hardcore", Nos 4 and 5 got an EC, while 6-9 got RRs. And someone must have really liked no 10, because that has an EC too!

For "Some Like It Hot", no 4 got an EC, 5-8 got RRs, while 9&10 got nothing again.

"Morning After..." was clearly not quite up to the usual standard, because although no 4 got an EC, only 5-7 got RRs; the next 4 got nothing (there was a final list of 11)

That's enough stats for tonight...

First I need to congratulate Varrick and Stormdog, I read both of your stories and they were fantastic, well done both of you!

Congratulations to the top ten as well, as I read many of your stories too! You all did a wonderful job on your stories. Well deserved. smile

Now...

YAY!!!! Holy speechless! I don't even know what to say. I thought this was a brilliant competition and wanted to enter. I didn't think I was going to place, I just did the best I could and hoped that I'd do well. Third place is such a huge honor. Thank you so incredibly much to Nicola and the rest of the panel.

Congrats to all biggrin

Really awsome to see my friend and fellow Wilbur Smith fan Stormdog get placed...Well done Big Hugs

Also I have not had much time to read of late but I did read Varrick's first story or certainly one of his first and I thought he was outstanding and am not at all surprised to see him as a winner...Well done to you also...many many congratulations.

Some Mods will go back and and give a comp entry an RR if they felt the story was worthy. An EC is a tougher prize to earn and if the EC panel feels that a story, even a losing comp story (and by losing, I mean not a top 3 story) is worthy, it will be awarded said award. Even stories that don't make the top ten can be awarded an RR or an EP if the Mods feel the story is worthy. My entry in the Historical Erotica didn't make top 10 but one Mod felt it was RR worthy.

These comps are tough and sometimes making 4th place and only getting an RR can be frustrating for some. But remember, an RR means someone thinks your story was really good. An EC means a few other agreed with that.

I totally agree with all this - although I'd add that I'm just as happy to get an RR as an EC. Both are an honour - I just wish they'd been around four years ago when I started writing!

But I did find it interesting looking at the Comp awards, where the process is clearly a bit different, since the awards for the "honourable mentions" are all made when the results are announced (or very soon afterwards).

I think that is because they don't want people to know who made Top 10 any sooner than when the results are released. Too often the rumor mill will start making claims about who did and didn't win, make Top 3, and make Top 10.

Trust me... I still get emotional when one of my stories earns an RR and one day... one day... I will earn an EC.
