Fanfiction Fans, we have a problem. There is a TIE between two players in the player voting contest. Because of this irregularity, we will have a special runoff ballot.

:siren: I will open a special voting session until 9 o'clock tonight EST. :siren:

Pm me your vote for either

Adus: Until the End of Time

or

Hal: Melvin the Jerk

The vote is in your hands. Call me Ishmael.

Hi guys, I actually think you should vote for Adus, his was amazing. I literally did mine in the 5 minutes before the contest ended and it's enough for me that you guys think it was even worthy of being in the conversation!

Or vote for me, I do love winning stuff and I make lots of funny voices.

First before we go into our Challenge let me introduce our guest judges.

Hailing from regions unknown, not much is known about bug. Bug does bug things. Bug lives a bug life. Bug enjoys just chilling around and bugging out. If you bug the bug, then the bug will bug back but that's just bug being bug.

That's right guest judge #1 is the third strongest, Gulag Dolls


Here's a little about your second judge...

She knows the names used for all nine Nazgul used in the Decipher LoTR card game, and why eight of them weren't even names. She has strong feelings about the character arc and personal growth of Vegeta. Her favorite Doctor is the Ninth. Her highest-rated fanfiction on AO3 is based on the thirty-second opening cutscene of Dark Souls 1.* She's got a loaded headcanon and she's not afraid to use it!

Please welcome your judge, Poison Mushroom Snape Yurameshi Kenshin Uchicha!


Also, he can tell you everything you need to know about DC Comics, and probably some things you don't want to know. When it comes to the canon of Scrooge McDuck it's hard to beat him. The only person who knows more about 1930's newspaper comics is his brother 8 bux.

Your third judge is your mod, Doc Hurt.

And finally, he likes sports and he don't care who knows. From shooting hoops to the superbowl. He likes sports and he don't care who knows. Football tennis hockey golf. Touchdown.

Your final judge is Tremendous Taste!

In the Judge zone we had a hard time deciding a single reading to give this to. First of all I wanted to thank everyone who submitted a dramatic reading to the challenge. I know my weekend was much more entertaining because of it. And now without further ado. The winner of the dramatic reading contest is. . . . . . . . . . .

*I swear to God, all of this is true.

A FOUR WAY TIE

Each judge could not agree with the others about the best fanfic reading on the list, so instead we are going to split the victory rather than lose friendships. Rather than just one winner, we are giving four prizes out for judges choice.

The Gulag Award for Professional Excellence:
Adus - the quality you put into your masterpiece theater really put you a leg above competitors. Your professional sound was appreciated.

The Mushroom Award for Endurance:
Mr. Capps - In the Mario series, the mushroom is a symbol of vitality and a resurgence of life. We are sure after reading that Omegaverse story of personified countries in heat loving on an airplane you could really use a mushroom as well.

Hurt 'em Award:
Byers - The Hurt 'em Award is given to the fanfiction that's the most physically painful to sit through. Puntification gave strong competition in this category for his snake sex, but really I challenge anyone to listen to Byers all the way through without having to stop the reading.

The Tremendous Memorial Award:
Little Mac - the Tremendous Memorial award goes to an all around MVP. You didn't fit into the other three categories, but had a quality enough reading to be rewarded. This recipient also had the good Taste to shine some light on a serious subject, in this case cancer.

Thank you so much for all the entries. Winners will be pm'd their rewards. The next challenge will be posted in about 10 minutes.

I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.
If someone won a vig, please shoot Poque.

Seriously he is nothing but a distraction and hindrance to town.
