Contest Winners!

We are very pleased to announce the results of the First Blood Contest!

Our first place winner as determined by our judges scoring was our only entry submitted by a new author and we look forward to following her as she continues to delight and entertain us with her version of Eric and all our favourite SVM characters:

Born to Die: Memoirs of a Viking by BatsOut

as winner will be featured in a write up and review of her story by nycsnowbird on The Sookieverse Blog. Links will be posted on the profile as well as on the contest blog, keep your eyes peeled.

After a tie in the second round of voting, we have two public vote winners with an equal 34% of the vote.

Your two winning choices perfectly illustrate the diversity we hoped to showcase in this amazing fandom:

First Blood, Kinda Sorta by Suki59

And

Born to Die: Memoirs of a Viking by brand new author BatsOut.

The second place winner in our public vote as well as our 2^nd place choice in the judges scoring was our only collaboration!
