EDIT: results delayed up to 2022 Feb 17, with apologies
with the final story, SPARK WARS, out of the moderation queue, the Contest folder is officially complete! with 30 stories, 26 authors, and 248,432 words in total, we have a lot of great reading ahead of us, and can promise you all final results no later than 2022 Feb 10, and hopefully earlier than that!
thank you to not only everyone who managed to submit an entry, but also to everyone who read and commented on an entry, or encouraged an author, or even worked on a story that did not make it into the contest! for the latter, i would like to ask you to do us the honor of placing your stories in the In Spirit folder when done, as great science fiction stories are always a good thing to see.
in the meantime, please join us in reading these wonderful entries! it was very easy to miss them toward the end, as we had about a third of the entries come out on the very last day, crowding each other out of the attention space. so i would like you to encourage you to have a look at the ones from that day that did not make it into the feature box, and see if there are any to your liking. a lot of hidden gems that did not get their chance to shine!
"Harmony doomed us. I killed Cozy Glow (although she was always a robot). If anycreature remains, heed this warning." -Former Princess Twilight Sparkle.
in addition, here are the stories from throughout the contest that did not even manage to get enough likes for the ratio to display. they are mostly from new or less-established authors, so please be encouraging!
