luke314pi Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Writing Contest Winners This was a very hard contest to judge! My wife and I were very impressed with the quality of the writing and ideas in the entries. It was a very close race, but we both agreed that these three entries were the best stories overall: Grand Prize Winner: The Hungry Hungry Cop by Groundhog7s 2nd Place: Red Wedding by Cappy 3rd Place: This Kind of Body by Danny Their amazing stories are posted in today's Minimate Factory update. I will be contacting the winners about their prizes in the next few days. As the grand prize winner, Groundhog7s will receive a custom 2″ minimate of his choice made by yours truly, his face as one of the zombies in my upcoming zombies decal kit, a copy of the Ninja Minimates Decal Kit, a FBCD 2009 minimate, and a mini-figure display case! Congratulations guys! The rest of the entries will be posted next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 A well-deserved win for the three of you! Congrats again! "Hungry Cop" was cute but well-written, and "This Kind Of Body" seemed oddly apropos for a man of Danny's taste And DAMN YOU Cappy! Damn you for making me cry like a baby pulling my heartstrings with your "light and darkness" story! *sob* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Let me offer a very humble (and surprised) 'thanks' to Luke and his wife-it's quite an honor. Reading the other two stories posted makes me wonder how I won. I can't wait to see the other entries. Thanks again for the unique contest Luke.

NorthRaider Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The rest of the entries will be posted next week! Oh dear. Luke, please have mercy and skip posting my entry. It's just plain horrifying (and not in the good way ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I chose to write about the Ripped Trainer as Luke namechecked me in the initial post revealing her - no idea why :biggrin: Never thought I'd get near any of the prizes tbh. Congratz to groundhog, I thought his classic "hard boiled" first person narrative cop story was really well executed, and also to Cappy, his story had a lot of depth to it.

Bob Harris Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 "I’ve been shot twice, stabbed once and survived two divorces and it’s a turkey that gets me in the end." Best line! (Oh, and I should check out that donut place on 116th/Broadway, 'cause I'm there every day! ) Congrats to the three of you! I really like the stories. And great contest Luke! Really cool idea! And I guess Granny being the winner is the best that could happen! After him messing around with a few of our avatars, we'll know be able to have our own ultimate revange with his (zombie-) face being availabe as a minimate!

groundhog7s Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 But, who'd really want a grey-haired zombie woman as their avatar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I don't want you as an avatar. I want an army of zombie Grannies being hunted down by my Hunt buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 All of the entries can now be found on the Media page over at Minimate Factory. While all of the entries are worth reading, I separated out the runners-up, so you can see how hard of a decision it was for us to pick only three winners!
