It's official - we have winners for CR's first fanfic-centric contest! They are:

First Place: Stefan_sama, All I Needed

Second Place: Beautiful_blue, I Had Not Intended To Love Him

Third Place: TheSteelSamurai, The Scariest Thing

Fourth Place: Hikari, Shards of Glass


Congratulations! Please email me with your address so I can send you your prize. Thanks to our judges, and everyone who voted! The entries are still up in case you want to reread.

But don't think that Court Records is now through with contests for a while: our annual OC Contest is just around the corner. If you're new to CR and aren't familiar with it, you can check out the rules from last year. Obviously we'll have a different prize but everything else should be the same, so read up and be ready for when we open submissions in March!

All I needed won? Yes! I still read that story avidly on Fanfiction.net. It's brilliant. No insult to second and third place as well as the others, but I personally loved that one :)

OC Contest is around the corner? I can't wait for it!

Yay! When I first realized how much longer mine was compared to all the others I thought no one would want to read it. (Well that and the fact that I picked a pairing that no one supports). So I'm amazed and happy to have gotten second place!

Congratulations to the other two winners; I really liked your stories too. :edgy:

Thanks!^^

I am so happy to have won! Did people really like my story that much?: D

But...what's this about reading the first place story on fanfiction.net?O_o I don't want to start anything, but I thought one of the rules was that the story couldn't have been or be posted anywhere else? That was why I had to write a whole new story; otherwise, I would have just entered one of my existing stories. Again, not trying to start a fight or anything-just wondering. If the rules were changed, I wish someone would have told me.@_@

I believe due to few entries submitted, Croik changed the rules. I could be wrong though.

Congratulations to you three! No doubt about it, your fics were top-notch! :will:

@Stefan_sama: I love fics about Phoenix and Trucy, and yours was even more enjoyable because it was well-written!

@Beautiful_blue: I have to admit, Franziska/Godot is not a pairing that has ever occurred to me, but your fic certainly made me a fan of it! (Only problem is, I highly doubt I'll ever find another fic that ships it, much less one as well-written as yours!)

@TheSteelSamurai: I really laughed when I got to the end of your fic. The gap between the mental image I was conjuring up compared to what was actually going on was hilarious! Who would've thought Edgeworth could master DDR on his first try? :redd:

Again, great job to the winners (as well as everyone else who competed)! Hope you enjoy your art books!

Ha ha, I never would've thought I would've won. Quite frankly, I don't consider myself much of a writer, and I'm an even worst typist.

That said, I do congratulate the other two winners. I especially think I Had Intended Not to Love Him deserves credit because of all of the effort put into it.

Also, regarding the rules issue about mine, I believe that Croik had stated that the only thing not allowed was unfair promotion. Nothing was said about entering a fic that had already been posted elsewhere.

On that note, I hope the next fanfic contest rolls around soon~ :godot:

Stefan-sama I'm afraid that's not the case. It WAS in the rules that a fic entered into the contest could not have been posted online prior to the start of the contest. Unfortunately I took the rules down once the entries were up but I remember writing it specifically to be different from the OC Contest (where previously posted fics are allowed).

But ultimately it's my fault for not catching it, and your fic won by something of a significant margin, so...it doesn't seem fair to disqualify you now that the contest is over. However, to be fair to the rest of the contestants, I'm going to bump up our fourth place into the winner's circle and just order another prize for Hikari, author of Shards of Glass.

I don't know when we'll do another fanfic contest. The OC Contest is coming up, and after that I'd like to do something to celebrate fancases, now that they've been around for a while. So it might be a while! But I love contests so it'll be fics' turn again eventually.

Oh, crap, that was the case? I myself don't remember anything like that, :yuusaku: but whatever you say, I guess. Thanks for letting me stay in, and I do have to congratulate you on your judgement skills for the fourth-place fic. Sorry for all the trouble... :larry:

I'll pay much closer attention to the rules next time. :keiko:
