Can't even contain how happy it made me seeing my entry win!

(And looking at the other winners, and entries in the thread, I had some solid competition against me for a winning place)

Completely forgot it would be announced based on forum account name and not the character we want the prize for, skimmed the list of winners for the wrong name and felt all my hopes drop before remembering my forum alias. That was a bit of a surreal moment for me.

"Oh I didn't wi- ...wait a minute... is that? What!? OH. OH ****!"

Followed by a lot of fairly incoherent internal screaming with joy, and then yelling in every possible linkshell.

I hope they do more contests like this, I had a lot of fun working on my entry for it. It's always nice when my writing can get me a little something for the time and effort, and I've coveted that scarf for a long while.

Congratulations to everyone else that won! I love how everyone took a different approach with all their stories, not one winning entry feels too similar to another, and everyone's retainers have their own unique personalities. It's great to see how creative the community for this game really is.
