And Now for the Winners of Christmas Cheer...
DRUMROLL...
First Place was precisely tied by 2 very talented authors. Since this was the case, I combined both 1st place and 2nd places prizes together and divided them by 2. Hence, both authors shall receive equal first prize amounts.
First Place with 7 votes!

Forlornly, George stared out his window. The nasty frozen stuff was really coming down.
Big, heavy, wet, white clumps of snow tumbled downward until they disintegrated smashing into the ground.

Kris has been struggling with gender confusion. On Christmas Eve, in the midst of a party full of girls in holiday finery, his sister offers to dress him up to see if it will help him to understand things better. He agrees to give it a try, and his world comes crashing down around him. He needs a miracle.
Will he get one?

I would like to thank everyone who took the time to enter for participating. In every sense of the word, all of you who entered the contest are winners!!! I wish I had the funding to pay everyone who took the time and entered, but... I simply don't have those kind of resources. I would also like to thank the people who took the time to vote and who read the stories. That is what BigCloset TopShelf is all about! Writing, Reading, Commenting, and Participating.
I will return with presenting the Summer Romance 2010 Contest!
=^.^=
Merry Christmas to All and a Happy New Year!

Kudos to the winners and others who competed. I love these contests, since it forces me to write on a deadline. And thanks to Sephrena for taking time to do this. Hugs to all and to all "A Happy New Year."
A pity there were so little votes

And even though contestant I voted for did not receive much votes, one of the honorary runner-ups from my list did make it into winners!

I don't know what to say except to say thank you to Erin, Sephy and everyone else who does their part to help the BigCloset be the place that it is. May we all have the very best of happiness and fortune in the coming year. As I've said before in these contests, we are all winners because we see so many really great stories. This year was no different.
Great Big Hugs to everyone!

I congratulate winners!
Submitted by Ronix on Mon, 2010/01/04 - 12:51pm
Well, to sing a hosanna to authors not my style, nonetheless ...
I wish to congratulate winners from the bottom of the heart! Moreover, I wish to thank all participants of contest.
Though, I will tell to you fairly, I did not vote for present winners. Well, another time the Fortune can will is more compliant.
P.S. Excuse for delay. I have been a little occupied by other things. Better late, than never. :-)
Thanks for this reminder
So much fun! You're the best!
Love, Andrea Lena
