2013 Spring Olympics, Fantasy vs Future: The Results!

At last, the results are in & have been tallied, double-checked, and compiled in some neat tables for your review!



Before we announce the winners, I would like to thank all of you whom participated this year! Whether you were writing for Team Fantasy or for Team Future; whether you voted on all the entries or just a couple - your help was invaluable, and I would like to say that I personally as your moderator very much appreciated all of you. Thank you so much, guys! I hope you had fun! Feel free to give yourselves the huge pats on the back you deserve!

I would like to single [personal profile] bottan out for some additional praise, however - not only did she write (for Team Future), she also drew our adorable Moko-mascots specifically for this challenge, designed & created our banners, & tallied, compiled, and checked over the results with me. I hope I speak for us all when I say: thank you, Rieke. You're a superstar.

At any rate, time now to divulge the results of this round of Olympics! The votes have been counted & put in nice tables, so all that's left is to announce that the winners of the 2013 Spring Fantasy vs Future Olympics are...

... Team Future!

Team Future scored 8.64 to Team Fantasy's 8.58. That's less than 0.1 difference between you, guys!

For a further breakdown of the results, behold the following two tables:




(These results include a 2 point penalty for [personal profile] cloverfield who was unable to finish her fic due to injury - without this penalty Team Fantasy's results would have been 8.78! I'm sorry for being a hardass, bb! I hope you feel better! Still friends? ♥?)

Three cheers for [personal profile] caffeine_buzz, whose fic "The Bright End of Nowhere" was both the highest-scoring fic on Team Future & the highest-scoring fic for the contest as a whole!

An additional three cheers for the ever-excellent [personal profile] kittenkin & [personal profile] uakari of Team Fantasy, who tied for second-highest results & the highest on Team Fantasy!

And finally, the loudest three cheers of all for our amazing pinch-hitters! [personal profile] yoshikochan, [personal profile] kittenkin, [personal profile] farenmaddox and most resoundingly [personal profile] animangod, all of whom stepped in to replace people, sometimes at the last possible minute and without whom we would have been well and truly screwed. HIP HIP HOORAH!

Thank you so much, everybody! That concludes our Kurofai 2013 Spring Olympics challenge! The next K/F event by your friendly local mods is scheduled for the summer, so you've got plenty of time to relax before then - and no, it won't be another Olympics. :D

Thank you all for participating! You're all amazing! \o/

I had another score on LJ, but it wasn't imported on DW. I guess theres no way to count it now?

LIES AND SLANDER, YOU ARE THE BEST FOR MODDING THIS THING! :DDD

As are the voters, some of which have read all (or close to all) of those 400k of word of fic there was in order to vote fairly. I think that's a HUGE help and a great favor. :3

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ALREADY PLANNED THE NEXT CONTEST, THIS IS GREAT!! :DDDDDD *EXCITED*
cloverfield: (oooh shiny~!)

[personal profile] cloverfield 2013-04-27 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)

Yay, congratulations to everyone! It was an intense one. Lots of dropouts and ill timing for about half of the participants; from injuries to having to drop out to having to resort to Plan B.

I like how every time the teams' overall scores are very close. That just shows that all of the writers are amazing and the playing field on both sides are even. Thanks for organizing, Reikah!

And of course, mad love to the pinch hitters and my fellow readers. :DDDDDD

AMG you guys, I'm so happy with this years' turnout for authors. I'm surprised to see so many participants, and such great & imaginative stories! (TBH I haven't read them all yet, and I'm terrified of a few of them re: heartbreak... >.>;;;) Congrats to us all for pulling it off! And thanks a million times over to the dedicated readers/judges! This event cannot exist without you guys, and we appreciate every second you spent making this a success~

IT WAS FUN!! LOL I'm still reading everyone's amazing fanfics (kind of a relief not to be able to vote... I don't feel pressured to rush through them ^^;;; ...). Thank you for being our organizer and taking care of everyone and everything!! =^____^=

On one hand I'm like "YAAAAAY we made it!" on the other hand, the only reason why we won is because there was an injury in the other team, so it doesn't feel like a victory.

In all honesty, that is undeniably true but my brain's good at denial and feigning ignorance for all the wrong things OTL but it's alright! We can always do better next time! 8D

[personal profile] animangod 2013-04-28 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Now that the fun of this is over, off to finish the other two Vengeance Prompts spurred because of this (Whatever Doesn't Kill Me and Cold as Ice), write Prisoner, Poison, Homage to Hitusnen and Neighborly Needs, amongst everything else, work, sleep, and try and not kill myself with how many accidents I get into. And wait eagerly and wriggle excitedly for the next event. ... <3

And ... most resoundingly...nononononononono, oh god no >//////////////> I was just happy to be of any help and do the two prompts I liked most.

Everyone. I was so impressed with the fics. However, I think the universe was conspiring against me reading fics. Who would have thought that the year 2013 would be unlucky.
animangod: (coincidence)

[personal profile] animangod 2013-04-28 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Well considering how many thought the world would end before now ... conspirators, story-writers and those victimized by superstition :3 Probably them.

True.

It was probably on my horoscope, and I just didn't read it:

"2013 is the year to venture. Explore new venues. Take a trip. Learn a new hobby However, since Venus is in the eleventh house, it will totally fuck up fandom, so don't attempt to read or write. Just don't do it."

Yay for everyone! :D This was lots of fun, as always (even though I kinda had to disappear for a while after posting mine, eh heh). I'm amazed at the people who managed to get through them all and vote. I'm just starting to work my way through all of them now, lots of new fic is always so nice~~
