Hi Everyone, We made it! As another NaNoWriMo comes to a close, it's time to announce some winners! Individual Prizes Congratulations to paddy1 for winning a Determination Merit Badge for having the highest overall word count of any Write-A-Thon writer: 89,483! Congratulations to Jeff  for securing the Fundraising Merit Badge in the Highest Overall Sponsorship Raised category: 1,200,633 GPs raised among all of my sponsors!Despite my best efforts with the second highest overall donation of all time (1,147,511 GPs), my seven-year streak of winning the Generosity Merit Badge in the Highest Overall Donation category has come to an end. All hail the new queen... Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo?  's 3,500,000 GPs donated is not only a record-shattering amount, but was more than 25% (and very nearly one-third) of the entire haul for the month!  Team Standings Let's do this in reverse order. Here's how things sorted out: 12th Place: The Orange Team with 48,448 words 11th Place: The Green Team with 138,404 words 10th Place: The Brown Team with 156,747 words! 9th Place: The White Team with 198,313 words 8th Place: The Purple Team with 208,391 words 7th Place: The Pink Team with 219,857 words 6th Place: The Blue Team with 230,460 words 5th Place: The Gold Team with 233,837 words 4th Place: The Yellow Team with 241,760 words!

We wouldn't be able to do this without generous sponsors, competitive writers, and the support and encouragement of other members of the site. It's amazing to see what this community can accomplish when we band together and work toward a common goal. Thanks for everything, and I'll see you all next year!
