#WEPFF – WEP- HOLIDAY CELEBRATION WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Happy Holiday's Everyone!

Thanks to everyone who participated during this very busy time of year. The challenge was particularly difficult as you were asked to write in a science fiction genre, but you rose to the challenge and we have some true masterpieces to enjoy. If you haven't yet, use the links in this piece or click HERE!

AlexJ. Cavanaugh, our guest judge generously took the time to read and comment on each entry. Without any input from us, he's chosen the following winners.

Alex wrote, "It was a difficult choice although I wish nailing down the winners of the IWSG Anthology contest had been this easy! Thanks again for asking me to judge and to write a guest post."

Thank you Alex. Denise, and I find choosing the winners near impossible!

So without further ado – The Winners!

  

THE WINNER OF THE

2015 WEP – HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS 

CHALLENGE IS:

ELEPHANT’S CHILD

&

PRECIOUS PEACE

Alex said, "Not only did it use several of us in the story, (not that that swayed me), there were pop culture references and lots of humor. And presented in such a unique way! Hooked me immediately."

A world without war is the universal wish. If only.

Congratulations EC!

This is your year!

Please accept the winner's badge and display on your blog with a link to your excellent story. 

An Amazon Gift Card of $10 will be winging your way shortly.

THE RUNNER UP OF THE

2015 WEP – HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS

CHALLENGE IS:

NILANJANA BOSE

&

EMPTY SHOES

Alex wrote, "This came across as a reporter’s story and it was so interesting because it was based on real facts about the International Space Station, ISS and more. Fascinating stuff."

I think we all learned something from reading Nila's non-fiction piece.

Congratulations Nila!

Please accept the badge and display it on your blog with a link to your non-fiction piece!

THE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD FOR THE

2015 WEP – HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS CHALLENGE

GOES TO

OLGA GODIM's

BLUE SANTA

Alex said, "Told from an alien’s point of view, this one had humorous elements. Dug the main character and would like to see more of him."

Despite his reluctance, alien, Lyd-Co found the Christmas Spirit and saved the holiday for a young believer.

Congratulations Olga!

Please accept the badge and display it on your blog with a link to your story!

CONGRATULATIONS WINNERS!

This year's entries included poetry, excerpts, and flashes that embraced the challenge's criteria.

Such as Book Lover's 'Earth Day'. Alex wrote of Donna's piece, "She told a solid story about young men and what they’re willing to do to gain an audience with a young woman. It had personality and could easily be a longer story." Donna's story made the short list!

We agree. So many of the stories could be expanded to either novellas or books. It's happened in the past, and it's what the WEP is all about.

The goal is to take on a challenge, surprise not only your readers but also yourself, and turn that experiment into a true masterpiece.

L.G. Keltner's Unity Day!

D.G. Hudson's Spacer Celebration

Roland Yeoman's Christmas at the End of the Universe

Nancy William's Stow-Away-Faerie

Patrick Coholan's Swirling Outlaw

Jody Harmon's Tubes for Two

J Lenni Dorner's Purple Light

Excerpts such as

Deborah Druker's Zenarra the Warrior Queen

Feather Stone's Madame's Dark Secret

Poetry

Robyn Campbell's Terraform Day

J Lenni Dorner's Purple Light

Desk 49's Beyond Starry Skies

Thanks everyone, for an exciting December!
You're all winners in our eyes!

Now the WEP will be taking a break 

as we all adjust our lives for the New Year.

But we'll be back in February 2016 with a new challenge!

Denise here. I want to thank Yolanda for helping me bring WEP back to life. She's learnt fast and is a fabulous partner. Thank you Yolanda! There would not have been these 3 challenges without you! And so much fun would have been missed!
