Sacrifice a story at the altar and unlock the secrets of terror! |
Hello, gentlemen! The round you're referring to (the August round) was announced waaaaaaay back in September here. The September Round's winner(s) will be announced during The Scream Awards Ceremony tonight between 7 and 10 PM WDC Time, as is detailed on The Scream Awards page here. I did fail to make the announcement here, but the link is inside the page (if you click "Prompt" or "Tome of Terror"), and the winner has already been given her prize. I do indeed use WDC as a platform for my editing business, which was actually born here. I advertise and offer coupons and free edits as part of the monthly prizes to get the word out, sure, but also to remind writers that constructive criticism and editing are helpful and should be thought of as rewards for posting your work. To address Jeff's points, I'd like to apologize for the erratic way this contest is sometimes run. I can't afford Internet access, but for half the month, I stay with my boyfriend (who CAN afford Internet access, what a winner!). The past couple of weeks I've had bronchitis, so I've stayed away, but you can find me in WDC chat (look in the Tools feature) about 15 days a month. You're more than welcome to talk to me in chat whenever! Thanks, Lottie |
