I'm glad to have participated as a judge. Reading everyone's writing was fun. Congrats to everyone for finishing your pieces in time for the contest. As pieces on their own, each submission was pretty good. I hope to see y'all in the next contest!
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
SUNGOD hasn't been active since mid-September. I think we're ready to call this.
