Contest-Winner and more · 4:37pm May 31st, 2017
Hi guys,
so, the deadline is reached! I´ve gone over all the entries and damn there were more than I expected.
I am actually a little bit touched, you people...
This proves to me that the idea was a good one (which is nice) and that I have some really dedicated readers (which is better). One thing is for sure, I will do this again. With a little bit more polished rules, as this was the greatest roadblock for many, and more options. Not now, of course. We still want this this story to go forward. But in the future...
Anyway, the winner of the contest is......The Great Derpsby with Tin Soldier! *confetti*
A really nice OC: Simple, but with enough depth for further development. I already got some good ideas how to implement him. ^^
For anyone who cares, the runner-ups were RozenKnight and ForumExplorer. Both of them had OC, that were already well established in the world (with jobs and such) and functioned within them. RozenKnights "Rose Whip" interested me because of her backstory and the role she could fulfill in the story (dominatrix, yes!) and ForumExplorers "Aurora Blaze" was a neat idea (retired explorer, interesting) and stood out because of his greater age and lack of downright sexual motivation (which a lot of you had and that is not wrong, after all it´s a clopfic).
I know, this is only a poor consolation, considering you didn´t made it, but I still wanted to praise you. Good job, you all.
On a different note, I have two announcements: First, the next chapter will come out next monday/tuesday. Monday in particular is holiday in Germany, so I have time to get everything done. If my proofreader is also on the ball, it should be out soon.
Secondly, I will also write more blogs. Not so much about MLC, but more about my creative process, as well as tips for clopfics and writing in general. Anybody, who is interested in such stuff or thinks they could learn a thing or two from someone like me, check that out.
Other than that, congratulation to the winner and I wish you a good week.
Yeah, I GOT Silver/.bronze medal!!! haha, gave it a shot can't win if you don't try and can't cry if you try.
I look forward to the tip blog, for sure!
Gentle breeze guide your path, a warm smile welcome you home!
Now I'm kind of hoping for another contest like this, even if I didn't even make the top 3. It was fun to write.
