From a rather pathetic start to a fantastic finish, you three have lasted through all eight tasks of The Author Games: Literature! Congratulations. However, only one can be crowned Victor.

Voters, please privately message this account with our finalists in a ranked order from 1, the tribute you think deserves the win, to 3, the tribute you think did the worst job this time around. Additionally, we would like an explanation of your choice so that we know you have read the entries and are not voting biasedly. Example for those who are still confuzzled:

1. Elizabeth the Plecostomus. I think she should be the Victor because she's a really cool fish and the biggest in the tank. Her eyes seem to stare people down, and it's really cool to watch her suck on the glass of the fish tank. She often hides in the little house, which I think is a charming quality that makes her better than the other fish. Plus, she has an actual name, and has lived an incredible amount of years for her fish species. What's not to like about that?

2. The Goldfish. They should be in second because they're able to survive in such tough conditions. Their home in the fountain is unprotected from birds and other predators, yet somehow they manage to evade death. Additionally, they are often forgotten about during fish feedings because of their habitat, but they manage to cope without food for extended periods of time- a very impressive quality. But being forgotten about, I think, makes them less worthy of the win.

3. The Snails. The Snails were a mistake when they came in the tank with one of the new plants, so I can't really say I like them. Sure, they clean the tank a little by eating stuff off the pebbles, but they reproduce at such a rapid rate it just doesn't seem fair. There's no way to get rid of them, and they're just disgusting, unattractive creatures overall in my mind, Some people like them sure- some people even keep them instead of fish- but when they happened by accident, it's hard to get over that. The Snails just really aren't for me.

Once all votes have been collected, the Gamemakers will be adding our own votes that will count for a number based on how many votes we receive.

A reminder that the tributes up for votes are:

KATELYN 'KATE' DODGER, DISTRICT 4

ESTHER TEHNOS, DISTRICT 5

ASPEN KINSLEY, DISTRICT 7

Good luck to all of you! Voting ends on August 21st, 2016 at 21:00pm EST.
