Fortnightly Writing Competition - CIVILIZATIONS FIRST DIRECT CONTACT

Best Character: Baron (Hank...stubborn bastard even when offered the possibility of ultimate sex)
Best Civilization: Baron (They were just trying to help! And Boyband and his mate were such cheerful victims!)
Most Unique and Intriguing First-Contact: Sinetrena (The mystery of the story is intact)
Most Unique and Intriguing After-Effects: Baron (I will not soon forget the story of aliens pleased to bleed all over us for our own good)
Best Overall Story: Baron (Such a fun romp with great characters on both sides of the encounter...)

  Really good entries guys!  I was hoping for more folks to join, as I thought different civilizations either clashing or hugging it out was a cool topic.  Ah well, good times and here are the results and trophy presentation:

Baron once again takes the gold!
Sinitrena and Mandle tie for the Silver!
Ponch gets the beatup wood venus for voting!

Ponch gets the beatup wood venus for voting!

Good! As complicated as the voting process has become lately, I feel like I should get a cheesy "I Voted!" sticker or something when I haul myself down to the polls.

Congrats to the winners.

Ha ha!  Clinched in the eleventh hour.  Or the thirteenth hour....  But colour me pleased nonetheless.  Congrats to all the entrants, and I'll be sure to get the next comp up and running faster than you can say "Ponch voted?!?"

Ponch voted?!?
You weren't fast enough, Baron.

Conngrats, though, and thanks to Mandle for finally voting.
