I know, I know: it's been a long time since I hosted a contest, but I've had the honor to be asked to guest judge along with SarahattheDisco168 at HSH_DeathStar's New Beginnings Short Story Contest. Yep, the one I announced on my Wattpad page in December. Here are the winners:

1st PLACE

The Lost by -nightly

A story of how one can be lost, find their way and then lose themselves again.

2nd PLACE

Chakravieuh by wildecoffeeaddict

A story with a touching brother/sister relationship (no, NOT a romantic one).

3rd PLACE

Matched by Mum by lucylovesharry123

A fast, entertaining romance set in space.

The link to each story is available in the first comment.

CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS and THANK YOU TO @HSH_DeathStar for inviting me to be a guest judge and to @SarahattheDisco168 for joining us!

I'd forgotten how much I enjoy reading contest entries. Perhaps it's time to start organizing them again? ;)
