Goddammit, Scythe, get your ass in gear.

Although, to be fair, I still haven't made the badge yet. Sssh, don't tell him.

OpenXcom can wait, buster.

But seriously, I mean, wtf have I been wasting my time on? Saints Row 2...ugh.

Alright alright I have a day off work today.

And I'm already sat under the two year old and watching peppa pig already.


Also OpenXcom is already in the can.

And I can't record with her sat on my lap anyway.

Also, I have a prize of my own going spare on steam for the winner, and a second prize as well.

SO GET OURF YER DAMN ARSE AND ANNOUNCE IT ALWEADY QUANTUM!

2015 Entries and Final Scores
Thanks to all participants for your entries into this year's Festival.

Well done and congratulations. Everyone had at least one story which had an above average scoring for our very first contest. We got a total of six entries, which is far more interest than I had initially expected. I'm pleased this went so well and I look forward to next year's contest. Hopefully, this contest inspired some folks to write or continue writing more kickass BrikWars stories.


BrikFiction Festival 2015 Winner and BrikWars LoreMaster

Vami IV
For the short story "Silence of the Cicadas"

For purposes of any other prizes offered individually, second place (scored by a very close margin) was taken by Scratch, for the short story "BREAKING NEWS: The Emerian Civil War/Emeriagate."

I thought to write a congratulatory blurb on the winner post for Silence of the Cicadas. Do the judges have anything they'd like to say about the piece? Does anyone else have anything they want to say in general?

I guess I've stalled on this long enough. As the grand prize for winning at brikfics, Vami wins getting unbanned. For now.

Oh, I had steam gifts it turns out I can't send to other people - that and steam didn't give me a free copy of Homeworld Remastered when I brought Deserts of Kharak (which I was going to send to whoever won first place) . . . so uhm . . . you guys, have my laughable levels of respect until I can figure out how to send you something else . . .

I still have tons of Steam codes in the prize pile. I'll dig up a list if I remember.
