The results are finally here! My apologies for taking as long as I have in making the results announcement. We've had some family things come up at home over the last few weeks that have kept me away from Underground Bookshelf, these contests, and writing.
The theme from the December contest was WRITER'S CHOICE, and I loved the directions you all took things with the open prompt. I hope you enjoy reading the top stories (listed below) as much as I did.
Now that I have finally had a moment to read all the submissions and get around to contest results...here they are:
- "Pet Sitting" (Chapter One from Of Ice and Snow) by Katerina Schafer
- "Chapter One" (from Shadows of a Bleeding Stone series) by unknownf0rev3r
- "One of the Girls" (from What Is Told: A Conglomeration of Confabulations) by SeraDrake
