NOTE FROM YOUR JUDGE:

Okay, first things first — massive congratulations to our winner! 🎉 Your story absolutely swept us away — there were gasps, there were wide eyes, there may have even been a dramatic chair spin or two (no, I'm not exaggerating). You built a world we didn't want to leave, and characters we couldn't stop thinking about. Seriously, you should be so proud of yourself. We are!

And to every single one of you who entered: you guys made this decision so hard. Like, "staring at the ceiling at 2AM, questioning my life choices" hard. Every story had something special — a line that made me smile, a moment that hit me in the chest, a character I secretly rooted for like a proud aunt. Just because there's only one "official" winner doesn't mean the rest of you didn't win too — you wrote. You finished. You dared to put your heart on a page and send it out into the world. That's not small stuff. That's everything.

Please, please keep writing. Keep dreaming. The world needs your weirdness, your magic, your anger, your softness, your hope. I'm already looking forward to seeing your names on bookshelves someday — and when that happens, I'm totally gonna brag, "I read their stuff first!"

Thank you for trusting me with your stories. You guys rock.
