I'm the Official Winner of the Furry Foray Fanfiction Contest! · 12:29pm May 6th, 2023
I know it's a couple days late, but I was seriously in awe about recent events to process everything. Considering what I was originally planning for the Furry Foray Festival Contest, I was honestly really disappointed with myself for only getting three-fifths of my project completed in time. In addition, some personal conflicts regarding my writing motivations and private commissions left me in a really depressed state for a while, and it was difficult for me to write very much. I legitimately thought that my contest entry stories were all going to be duds (especially after reading through the objective reviews, which were all admittedly valid and worth noting). But much to my ever-loving shock, imagine how I felt when I saw the awards for that contest: https://www.fimfiction.net/group/216716/furry-foray-festival/thread/516244/furry-foray-festival-awards-show
Holy. Fucking. SHIT!!! Not only did I end up winning first place overall for this contest, which had very stiff competition (and yes, that pun was intended~). And not only did I accumulate several other awards along the way, including Best Use of Loona, Best Use of Lola Bunny, Best Climax Scene, Best M/F Scene, and Best 3+ Character Scene (both first place and the runner-up). And not only did I also receive the Runner-Up placement for Best Use of Clothing and Best F/F Scene. But overall, after everything I wrote out amongst multiple fandoms and character exchanges, I ended up winning more prize money from the contest than anybody else!
I... I'm legitimately in shock about what to say. Obviously, I have to give my deepest thanks to everybody who read those stories and gave your thoughts, as well as the judges who loved them so much. I'm beyond honored to see my hard work being gratified in such an impactful way, and it's the confidence boost I absolutely needed! I may have been doubtful about myself before, but this contest proved that I have the skills and tenacity to make my goals a reality.
With that being said, I'm going to be sure to look for some artists to commission for a special project. I won't say anything just yet, but I already have big plans that will hopefully lead to bigger things later on. Also, I'll be sure to finish up that crossover series properly, since I already know what I have planned for the final pairings of Rarity & Krystal, and Pinkie Pie & Judy Hopps~ ;)
Congratulations dude, you deserve it.
