This year's contest we blew our previous records of entries out of the water with a whopping 32 stories. Thank you to everyone who got involved! Understandably with so many stories it took a while for all us judges to review them all. But the results are now in.

First Place: The Special Ambassador by JamesJameson
Second Place: The Bastion Gambit by Smug Anime Girl
Third Place: Reunion by MacArthurite

Congratulations to the winners! I'll be contacting you soon about your rewards!

That Fateful Day in August by Mitamajr
The Griffon's Liberation Army by Nagerleral
Legacy of an Alcoholic Tank Commander by PoniesMine
Equestria At War: The Mare In The High Castle by Salty Alty
The Bounty Hunter's Journey: The Escape from Azkaban by Jean De Basse - Woolie

Thank you all again for those who entered. We really do wish you all had a great time reading and writing.

Holy crap, I placed?! And here I was hoping for an honorable mention. I'm honored, thanks to all the judges who liked my work.

Personally I thoroughly enjoyed yours to a very high extent and I am eager to see more if you choose to continue your work.

Aw shucks, you're making me blush. I'm working on another writing project right now, but I may just add a few one-shots to the story I've already posted.

Just don't force yourself, nothing kills an idea faster.

Next time! Congrats guys, enjoyed all the stories!

Well I didn't win but it was a very fun project to do and I enjoyed it very much and it got me into writing, so overall I have to rate this a big success

Also the winning stories where much better, I especially liked Reunion.

It was a really fun experience and I'm happy I decided to participate. Good job for the winners and I hope I get to read all of your works.

Though I'm still not sure what I bucked up so hard that I got such negative reviews (well mostly dislikes, the comments are pretty positive)

Lets get this bread!

I totally wasn't biased towards anything Solar Empire related.

At all.
