 * A message from the judges: **
 * To the winners, your prizes will be distributed shortly. **
 * Thanks everyone! This was a very fun contest and I can say truthfully that all of the entries were a joy to read. **
 * As a disclaimer (please, every contestant read) : No, the verdict was not fueled on favoritism or popularity. Yes, certain contestants may or may not have been affiliated with the judges (as in relationships), but that doesn't mean our votes were based on that. Trust me, Susie and I have both received the shorter end of the stick through favoritism/popularity and we made sure that our contest didn't end that way. **
 * -Erica **


 * Hey guys, Susie here letting you know that this was really, really difficult to judge. I'M SERIOUS, PEOPLE. I debated my vote for days. (Which slightly angered Erica.) **
 * ALSO, sorry for the delay, we just had some technical difficulties with the judges. And now Erica's mom is kicking us out. So bye!! ~Susie **
