Competition Winner

Aaaand the winner of the 2009 winter writing competition is... ooh, cool a real drumroll.

[iurl=http://simpworks.com/forums/2009-winter-writing-competition/red_line-will-take-a-stab-at-it/0/]Red_line[/iurl] with Fryscape!

Everyone who took part produced excellent work and it was annoyingly hard to pick a winner. Like the art competition, because of the relatively few entries we're only going to announce the first place winner this year. However, everyone else will be able to get a "took part" certificate if they want one.
In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.

While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Congratulations, Red_Line! I haven't had a chance to read your story yet but I'm sure that it deserved to win. I'll try to read it once I get a chance.

Congratulations Red_Line! of course you'll have to cut a portion out of the certificate for me to have though.

As a judge, I'm not sure whether this is protocol, but I too would like to congratulate Red Line on his fic's victory.

It was a great pleasure to judge in this competition and get to read such good stories.

And very nice illustration, Kaspired! The faces are a bit off-model, but I like it a lot.
I struggled to my feet,
I rode past destruction in the ditches,
With the stitches still mending
'Neath a heart-shaped tattoo.
Renegade priests
And treacherous young witches
Were handing out the flowers
That I'd given to you.

Thank you everyone.  :fry

And Kaspired, wow, that picture is great.  Thank you for drawing it.  I'm doubly honored.


The story here is that I was at somewhat of a loss for a plot.  Futurama_Freak1 was relating a story to me about a fangirl that was asking him for pictures of Fry and what would happen if there were 500 Frys, and I went "Ah HA!" or "Eureka!" or something like that.  I stopped at 97 or so because that's a little over 16 hours worth of Frys.  So FF1, don't worry, when I receive me reasonable quality certificate,  I'll send you an autographed photocopy. ;D

Good solid story, man.  After reading it I had to do the drawing.  Actually I was worried somebody else would do it first.  Just think 92 frys to go... 

Congrats again.
