Wow! I won the judge's vote, which is kind of astounding. Thanks to Northwoman, for organising the contest; the judges, for donating their time and critical eyes to reading everything submitted; to Thyra, for being an awesome and really fun beta to have; to the other writers who entered, for giving us all some great new stories to read; and to everyone who read, reviewed and voted for the stories, making this years' competition another success. I've enjoyed the whole process and hope you all have too!
