We have reached the deadline! The Endo-Rama is officially over.

I'm not even sure what my expectations were for this little project, but this has far surpassed them. I received around 35 total submissions from experienced writers, passionate hobbyists, blossoming beginners, and pretty much everything and everyone in between. I want to express my complete and sincere gratitude to everyone who set aside some time to write a story. You have accomplished a task some would say is quite difficult! And I was elated to see so many people who cited this contest as their motivation for finally sitting down and writing their first story. I've seen countless new galleries pop up, brimming with potential. You all have filled Eka's Portal with just a little bit more of that non-fatal goodness, and you all should be very proud!

But nevertheless, a winner has to be chosen. I must humbly ask that you allow  Auclave and I around one month to properly read each story, and prepare the artwork for the winner. We greatly appreciate your patience!

And to everyone who submitted a story, keep an eye on your PM inbox. We will be sending personalized messages to inform each of you of your status in the contest, once all the stories have been judged.

Well, that's just about it! Thank you again everyone for participating in my contest. And I'll also say thanks to everyone who has read and interacted with my writing this year. I have big things in store, and there's plenty more to be excited about in the future. :) Stay safe and cozy everyone!

A combination of poor time management and getting hopelessly distracted prevented me from getting a story in on time, curse you ADHD! ヾ(`ヘ´)ノ゙
Ah well, best of luck to those who did!

Aww, well that's okay! Who knows, perhaps there will be another contest down the road? ;>

You can still write a story, just for the sake of it.

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 2 years ago Report

Yeah exactly!! I'll still check out whatever story you may happen to put out, contest or no contest.

RoyalRoseBeam

Posted by RoyalRoseBeam 2 years ago Report

Well... It would be a shame to leave it half-finished and unshared... But no promises!

Though I was unable to get my story in I must applaud all those who took place as well as the organizers, this was a very interesting idea

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 2 years ago Report

No worries at all! Judging by how successful this was, you may get another chance eventually...

I have to read through your folder now, read up on all the entries you enjoyed! Again, not expecting to win cause my story was more of a vent then a proper story, but was really happy to participate!

Thank you for making this, Dulce!

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 2 years ago Report

It was my pleasure! It made me happy to see so many people participate! And I'm glad it helped you to write your story, that's all I can ask for.

ClosetedTiny

Posted by ClosetedTiny 2 years ago Report

It would take a while to get through, huh? Well, good luck to everyone else who submitted! And I hope you had a Merry Christmas, considering the turnout.

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 2 years ago Report

Yes, a lot of stories to read... definitely won't complain, though! I had a wonderful Christmas, thanks for asking :) Hope you enjoy the rest of the year!

Anything for a bit more Endo on the site, haha.

I'm actually going to be trying to write the other 3 ideas my friends had to choose from, as they all had good prompts to them! Thanks for getting my creative juices flowing.

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 2 years ago Report

Hey, that's great! I'm so happy I could give you that creative spark! That was one of the motivations of the contest, after all.

I hope it provided a welcome writing challenge for you!

TheSecretBacon

Posted by TheSecretBacon 2 years ago Report

Oh, it most certainly did. I'm not a wholesome person by any means, but writing something wholesome, well, I was open to the idea!

Posted by Rocket3077 2 years ago Report

Can't wait! Everyone did a good job, no matter how long the story!

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 2 years ago Report

Exactly <3 I think everyone who submitted a story should be proud of what they accomplished.

Random note. I had a name change.
Previously was abab2121 and that was the name I submitted under.

LivesInAStomach

I saw that, don't worry :)

Posted by lordamaterasu03 2 years ago Report

Well good luck to everyone that took part.

I was just happy to take part. And at least get another story out there. if only I could always be that inspired to write. XD

But then I couldn't give excuses about being heavily adccited to procastination.

LivesInAStomach

Posted by LivesInAStomach 2 years ago Report

Another story published is always a success! I'm happy I could give you that little push.

lordamaterasu03

Posted by lordamaterasu03 2 years ago Report
