Yes folks it's time to announce the winner of our very first challenge! First, because I am a sappy moderator, I just have to say how much we all enjoyed the wonderful, cracky fiction this challenge produced: I have never been so proud and so disturbed at the same time.

And the winner is...

Shellydkitty
for her story
The Downfall of Celine Laffort

For her sins Shelly receives this banner to proudly display wherever she choses.

Hiding behind Shelly is our runner up...

Spaghettitoes
for the story
Once Upon a Time...

For my sins this banner will be adorning my profile.

But one thing is resoundingly clear, everyone who took place in this competition ROCKS and you all deserve an award. Thanks to my utterly amazing (and adorable) co-Moderator we have participant banners for everyone!

Can I ask that everone please saves their banner and uses it from their own accounts rather than taxing RedCouchAddict's.

But wait! There's more...

You were all happy to celebrate the brilliance of our participants in your voting and comments and it's time for a few people who might not have won but deserve honourable mentions.

The first goes to my darling eskimo-wifey for her story Operation NDFUG and she receives this to use as she so choses, for blurring the lines in our already muddled heads and making us question what really happened after that ambulance drove away.

The second is my personal nomination and goes to Giorgiakerr for her story Till Death do us Part, for which I'd like to give her this and a hearty pat on the back. Because this, of all wonderful and potentially harmful stories this challenge produced was the only one the filter at my work considered offensive and blocked! For such a wonderfully outspoken person and a brilliant story I couldn't let it pass, don't stop being so offensively sparkly darling.

So hugs and kisses to everyone who took part, voted or just enjoyed the cracky fun. Special thanks and cuddles to my co-Moderator RedCouchAddict for all her hard work and help.
