August Winner
This month has been a very difficult month from a judge's point of view, as the quality of stories seems to keep improving all the time. There were many stories worthy of a nomination, but only five could be nominated, and only one of those could win. I'd like to thank you all on behalf of the judging panel for all your votes, as it really does show how much support the stories forum gets on a regular basis. The readers are just as important as the writers, in my eyes, as they can provide great feedback for stories. And the winner for this month's award, chosen by you, their readers, is....
wellsy1498!!! wellsy1498 won this month's poll by claiming 36 of the 97 votes cast, 37.1% of the votes. Credit must go to the other nominees, and indeed all the writers out there, who really pushed the standard needed to be nominated to a whole new level. tbendis only just finished runners-up with 35 votes (36.1%), just a single vote behind wellsy1498, and P-KIDDY finished in third with 12 votes (12.4%).
Due to the amount of votes earned by the winner (wellsy1498), and the runner-up (tbendis), I have decided to award both of their stories three days as stickied stories, where their stories will always be at the top of the Forum. Both stories received a mass amount of praise, and both deserve rewards this month, even though there could only be one winner.
So that concludes yet another month in the life of Story of the Month! Remember to keep reading and writing your own stories! Who knows, you could be the winner for September...
