It's here, folks! The official winners of the Alternate Ending Story Contest!

Now, first off, I'm sorry it took a while to get the results out. I had no idea an incoming college freshman would be THIS busy! Oh, well. Besides, this day is pretty important to FNAF, but I'll get into that later...

Second, thanks to everyone who entered the contest! You guys really do know how to write! All the stories were creative in their own way, which is all I really wanted!

Remember, just because you don't make it on the list anywhere doesn't mean your story was bad; it means I'm being fair and not making everyone a winner (because that's not much of a contest, right?)

Anyway, let's get going!

3rd Place: "FNAF: Final Shift" by RelzeriZynx

This story was very interesting, to say the least. It is an alternate ending of "Grand Reopening" that sorta follows the same pattern of the original...yet it doesn't. I won't go into too many details here, but it's certainly worth a read! And the amount of detail that went into the descriptions and story was just incredible! Great job, Relzeri!

2nd Place: "Belly of the Beast" by FoxDaily

This story was a descriptive alternate ending of "Fazbear Fright" that did a decent job of combining what little of FNAF 4 we knew at the time. That's all I'll say here, but the way you handled the story was great and oddly happy in a weird, twisted way. Overall, nice work, Fox!

Alright, it's time for some Honorable Mentions!

HM 1: "Sixth Night at Freddy's" by CheesyGarlicMan

The descriptions that went into this was astounding! As the title implies, Mike is working a 6th night at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. How that happens is a bit confusing, but the night itself was so well-worded that I thought it was my own story! Not to mention that ending... Anyway, nice work, Cheesy!

HM 2: "Five Nights at Freddy's: A Twist in Time" by Itwasgoingsowell

This unique story told the tale of Mike, Jeremy, and Eric all meeting under unusual circumstances and solving a mutual mystery. While it is currently incomplete, I loved what is currently available! Again, it's a unique story that has a great concept! Amazing job, It! XD

HM 3: "You Can't" by MattPad2099

From 1st place winner to honorable mention, eh, Matt? XD

Anyway, the subtitle for this story was "The Bite of '87 Never Happened". By that, it's clear this was an alternate ending of "Grand Reopening". And what an ending this was! It goes to show that the author really read all my stories very well and carefully, with as many references as there were! It would be a bit unfair, though, to place you high up again. Don't be mad at me, Matt! And nice work!

HM 4: "All in Vain" by greystonemeu

Another familiar name takes the spot! This was a short one, but it was a gruesome take on "The Golden Freddy". That's right; someone made it more gruesome than it already was!! Let's just say don't expect a happy ending out of this one. Oh, and make sure your stomach is empty beforehand. Good job, Grey!

And now, the moment you've been waiting for! Drumroll, please!

"I Can't Save Them" by HenryHero

Admittedly, I was a bit confused on how the story works into my first FNAF story, but other than that, it was amazing! The visual detail was spot-on and combining FNAF 3 and 4 into a way that works was genius! I could imagine everything that was happening in awe and disgust as I kept going. All in all, congratulations, Henry!

RelzeriZynx and FoxDaily, you earn the prizes of an honest review from yours truly of one of your stories! The reviews will be put here in this story when they're up! PM me the story you want me to review and I'll get on it ASAP!

HenryHero, same goes for you, but you also get the Grand Prize of my helping you write a story of your choosing! It can be a new, co-op story or a current, incomplete story you want advice with. Either way, you can PM me whenever you want to get to work on that!

Again, congrats to everyone who participated! It was hard picking the winners, but I had to decide eventually, right? Hopefully, I'll have a new contest up in the near future, but expect it to be non-FNAF this time...

Now, as I said in the beginning, this is a special day for FNAF. Why? Because exactly 1 year ago today, August 8th of 2014, the first Five Nights at Freddy's game was released! It's crazy to think a full year has already passed...

I won't give a big speech right now, though; I'll save that for August 12th, the day I found out about Five Nights at Freddy's. How do I know that's the date? Well, you'll see. ;)

Expect that as a new part to my first FNAF story when it's up. But for now, I just wanna say thanks to Scott Cawthon for making 4 great games in the span of a year! Well, technically a year and a half, but you know what I mean.

That's it for now. Again, congrats to the winners and HMs! Hopefully I'll see you all in the next contest!
