A Winner is Me · 1:26am Jul 22nd, 2019
Today, Obabscribbler, who needs no introduction, wrote this comment on my story I Cast a Deadly Shadow:
Congrats! This is the (very belated) winner of the Bronycon Them's Writin' Words 2018 Contest!
A full cast reading of your story featuring myself, Goombasa, Neighrator Pony, Luna Farrowe and Wubcake is now in development. Thank you again for writing such an awesome fanfic!
Well. I am absolutely floored.
Special thanks are due my two editors, GaryOak and Reia Hope, for helping make this story as good as it is. Big thanks also to Scribbler, Neighrator Pony, and AShadowofCygnus, for hosting the panel where the contest was announced. Thanks also to the judges ( I want to say, "You like me! You really like me!").
The funny thing is that in the handful of times I've ever been able to enter contests, I've never expected to win. The complexity of my personal life has always meant few opportunities for such, with even these being rush jobs. It was always a moral victory just to get in before the deadline. And yet here we are. It's positively surreal.
Watch this space, because I'll be announcing the release of the reading when it appears.
Cheers,
H.V.

When I saw how few people had actually entered, I thought I had a good chance. Then I saw you were one of the people who did enter...

Aw shucks, thank you. But funny thing--I didn't think I stood much chance against the author of Dinkin' Donuts.

I knew I shouldn't have sat on that unedited reading of the story I did. Oh well. I know Scribbler will do it 10 times better than I can!

It's very flattering, in any case. (Sidebar: Hey, someone who liked Celestia Hates Us All!)

That is one of the most metal stories on this site \m/.
Congrats Horse Voice! You managed to win despite me being one of your editors! :P
