>>> The Winners Have Been Announced!! Congrats all!! <<<
“The Dreaming” Writing Competition: Apologies for the delays on this. I guess you all know that TOKYOPOP is currently in the middle of a restructure, and thus in a difficult situation. I’m unsure whether the marketing department has the time to handle the results of this competition, so I’m going to take matters into my own hands. I’ve sent an email to TOKYOPOP on Friday the 20th, and if they don’t reply by Wednesday the 25th, then I’ll send another email. If that gets no replies by the 30th June, then I’ll announce the winners on my blog on the 1st July. But as we now know, the winners have been announced.
But For now…
I announce the 6 finalists in no particular order:
Drumroll…
An End
by Chelsea M. Smith (18), Woodlands, Texas
Records Keeper
by Allegra Condiotte
Retrospect
by Xandria L. Johnson (14), Ocala, Florida
The Coffin
by Elizabeth Napoletano (26), Cicero, Illinois
The Cost of Living
by Sarah Lamb (28), Houston, Texas
The Sketch Album
by Conda V. Douglas, Boise, Idaho
All others who entered the competition: please also email your entries for me to post up (if you wish for it). I would love to read all your entries, since TOKYOPOP only sent me six stories to pick the top 3 winners from.
*An additional 10 people were supposed to get original art pages from “The Dreaming” as prizes. I’ve already sent the 10 pages to TOKYOPOP, but I haven’t heard back from then on that yet either, so I don’t know what’s happening. Personally, I’ll rather sort out the winners first, so thanks for your patience.
