    Sorry for the double post, but I just realized that the five stories that were tied for third before the first place tie was broken pretty much all would have gotten bumped down to fourth and therefore have no idea who they are.

    Not all my votes placed, either, though I wish they could have.

    We did amazing work this month--don't doubt it, even if you don't have a winner's banner this time around. You never know just how close you came. :)
    Watch me mash together Sims and Pokémon to tell a story about battling glitches in Penny Saves Paldea. Updated every other Thursday.

    Seeing that every novice placed was hilarious to me (I actually laughed out loud when I saw it). That shows how good the writing is in this challenge. Seriously, you could nail each story in each category to a dartboard, throw three darts and whichever stories were landed on would be good enough to place. Congratulations to all the winners!

    Ahhh, me too. Still, it's very surprising to me. Congrats to all the writers and thanks to everyone who voted. This is a great contest.

    Congratulations to everyone! Again I’m shocked my story placed. Thanks to all who voted. Cheers! :smiley:

    Your story literally brought tears to my eyes. Your writing style feels so genuine--it's hard not to get pulled in. I've voted for your stories both times. I didn't realize it at first because I try to focus just on the writing, not the writer, when I'm deciding. I think you underestimate how good you are at nailing an authentic voice in your characters. I also liked how subtle the ending was. You let the final screenshot speak for itself, and it was incredibly moving. You 100% deserve to be up there. :)

    I don’t know what to say. I’m literally speechless. Thanks so much!

    Me too and you have NO IDEA how many times they changed spots ... it was like chasing Christmas lights all week AND the final outcome was a surprise .. LOL a 3-way tie for first .. GOOD-NIGHT! I nearly did a spit take with my tea.

    Congratulations to all the winners, give yourself a BIG hand! *CLAP CLAP CLAP* I have the biggest smile on my face right now, we have so many wonderful, talented writers in this community! <3

    I'd also like to echo what @katrinasforest wrote about your writing @Zachsims, I agree with every word! :) It's a treat when I find a new writer that's so talented, you write like a veteran!

    Also, @SoulGal7 you already know how much I admire your writing and have been one of your biggest cheerleaders. Congrats on winning two rounds in a row, I'm not surprised at all! :)

    Happy Simming & Writing y'all! <3

    You said it well Mumma .. all are winners. I would strongly speculate that all entrants have gained follower/readers .. all have grown as they face the challenge ... and because the simlit community is becoming more visible because of our scribblers who share far and wide ... TY for working hard.

    Thank you @CitizenErased14 @haswh and @InfraGreen for the lovely comments and of course for reading <3


    @InfraGreen I Wish we still had a lol button, I did honestly think I wouldn't get one in this month. The positives of getting sick :D

    @lisabee2 - oh thank you. Not sure what happened with that pic, but it should be fixed now. Thanks for letting me know. Yes, I have used that Nikkamore build before. I like it a lot.
