And Now for the Winners of the October 2010 All Hallows Eve Contest...

 
 
 
 

DRUMROLL...

 

 


 

First Place was won by one of our old Pros here at TopShelf.
She is known for her variety of talent and surprises in writing.
It's no surprise to me that she put a lot of effort into her submission.
 
Please welcome, our First Place winner...

 

First Place with 90 Kudos!!! (And this is a really good story too!)

 

$75.00


Second Place, unlike First, was won by one of our newer authors here at TopShelf.
She is bright, has a lovely style, and grabs your attention and emotions in her works.
The Scary thing however, was that the race for Second place was down to 1 razor thin Kudo!!!
 
Struggling out to be the victor,
and with works such as
"Becoming Robin", "Shadowcraft: Aria Blade", and "One Heart to Another,"
 
it is my pleasure to introduce her,
our Second Place winner...

 
Second Place with 67 Kudos!!!

our Third Place winner was won by one of TopShelf's favorite authors!!!
 
She is known for her works such as
"The Price to Pay", "The Butterfly Effect", and "The Gift of the Red Planet,"
 
Please welcome
TopShelf's Third Place winner...

 
Third Place with 66 Kudos!!!

 

I was lost.

I was wet through.

The cold rain was battering my face mercilessly.

I was running for my life.

But that's not all!!!

There were 3 other very close winners that came close to 2nd place in the fight of Kudos!!!
I decided that I couldn't let their struggle to win go unnoticed.
 
So I created a Fourth Place.
 
All 3 of them and they will equally get the prize for Fourth place!!!
 
So please give our Fourth Place Winners,
a warm round of applause!

Fourth Place with 60 Kudos!!!

 

by Maeryn Lamonte

Michael’s new apartment is too good to be true. Immense, beautifully furnished and cheaper than his last place.
 
Sometimes when fortune smiles you smile back and accept what it offers you.
Other times, with Halloween just round the corner and a killer on the loose,
 
it might have been as well to ask a few questions first…

$10.00


 
Fourth Place with 58 Kudos!!!

 

Tomas remembers the blue dress that had enraptured him one Halloween and how magical it had made him feel.

Fourth Place with 56 Kudos!!!

 

Joss Whedon portrayed it right. High school really is hell. At least mine was.
A genuine monster came to my school, and I was one of those who lived to tell the story.
Sometimes I envy those who didn’t survive….

I would like to thank everyone who took the time to participate by submitting entries and for those who took the time to, not only read our wonderful entries, but to actually vote using our Kudo system! 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 the resources. This is what BigCloset TopShelf is all about! Writing, Reading, Commenting, and Participating.

I will return with presenting the December 2010 Santa's Helper Contest!
