#WEPFF - HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Hello everyone!

There were simply too many amazing stories to make the job of choosing a winner easy, so we gave up. Just kidding.

Annalisa took her time, reading and re-reading the 3 entries sent to her and this is the result:

Annalisa told us, "wow, that was so hard. I'm glad I only had to look at the final three - I'd never be able to make a decision otherwise." :-)

THE WINNER OF THE

2015 WEP – HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE IS

J LENNI DORNER

Annalisa said, "Because I was right there in that room, hiding under the covers and telling myself monsters aren't real!"

I think we all were! J. Lenni took us back to our childhood. A true Halloween treat!

Congratulations J. Lenni!

Please copy the badge onto your blog, brag about it, link it to your fabulous poem so your fame can spread far and wide.

An Amazon Gift Card to the value of $10 will be winging your way shortly!

THE RUNNER UP OF THE

2015 WEP – HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE

 IS THE INDOMITABLE

SAMANTHA REDSTREAKE GEARY!

  

Annalisa said, "I love the ingenuity of mixing music with the prose."

Samantha, your modern treatment for Hansel & Gretel was a feast for the eyes, ears, and imagination!

Congratulations Samantha!

 Please copy the badge onto your blog, brag about it, link it to your fabulous mix of music, prose and artwork. It's a criminal offense not to see this modern masterpiece!

THE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD FOR THE

2015 WEP – HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE

GOES TO

NILANJANA BOSE

  

Annalisa said, "A chilling, horrific story, vividly written. So many questions..."

So true, the altruistic gift of mothers' milk from such horrific actions, unbelievable and so perfect for Halloween.

Congratulations Nila!

Please copy the badge onto your blog, brag about it, link it to your fabulous chilling flash fiction! It's  hardly fair that we were chilled to the bone, yet some remain oblivious to this horrific story lurking on the web.

CONGRATULATIONS WINNERS!

Denise and I sent Annalisa a list of 3 finalists, but before that, we went back and forth, and back and forth because the list was near impossible to cut down to 3. We love hosting the WEP and coming up with the challenges, but we HATE choosing the list of winners. It's just too damn hard!

The stories were so wonderful--how do you choose between Jeff's man-eating skunk monster, and Arpan's haunting stranger on the path home, or Bish's funny naked mermaid and Michelle's descent into madness? I tell you it's near impossible, so a huge thank you goes to Annalisa Crawford for making the process a little easier. Our previous post gives a sketch of each entry.

And our Random.org winner is:

 Jeff Whichello! 

Congratulations Jeff!  

A $5 Amazon Gift Card will arrive soon!

Write...Edit...Publish (WEP) is ba..ba..back! Meet your hosts Denise and Yolanda!

Hello friends!

Been missing WEP? I hope so. I have been too. Luckily for all of us, YolandaRenée has been wanting to see WEP back again, as really, it is a unique online group where we can gather, share our writing in whatever form we choose, and get feedback if we want. Yolanda and I have been talking through lengthy emails, sorting through our ideas, and it seems we'll have a great partnership. Donna Hole, my previous co-host, is happy to help in any way she can, so I think sharing this load will result in a much smoother operation and should continue ad infinitum. 

WEP will not change overly at this stage, except the challenges will usually be every second month rather than every month, but we will be flexible depending on what else is happening in the blogosphere. That gives us all more time to do regular blog posts, or participate in other challenges.

WEP will reboot with our first challenge on Wednesday, August 19, and then we'll have a spooky Halloween challenge for Wednesday, October 21. This will give everyone a chance to participate in other Halloween challenges, since October is so popular for flash fiction. November is all about NaNoWriMo for many of us, so we'll skip WEP that month, but then it's Wednesday December 15, with a post for the holidays.

Don't worry. There will be a badge with challenges and dates created soon and will be published in a future post. 

In between, Yolanda and I have discussed posting blogs of an educational nature, such as Copyright and what it means, The Art of Critiques, Comments, Using Images etc. And to make the fun truly worthwhile, expertly-designed winning badges will be handed out for each challenge once again as we have done in the past. Yolanda and I will choose our top three, then an independent third party (the guest judge) will make the final choice.

I know some of you have used the flash fiction you wrote to WEP challenges as part of larger stories, even novels, and have been missing this aspect of WEP. (My current WIP, a novel set in Paris, has certainly felt the benefit of rejigged WEP Paris stories I've written over the years.) Can't wait to get back to it!

Sign up and spread the word – Write…Edit…Publish (WEP ) – is on its way back to the blogosphere. Facebook it, Twitter it, Instagram it...let's do a social media blitz! Yolanda and I are already talking about creating dedicated WEP social media accounts where we can communicate. Watch this space! Meanwhile if you tweet for us, use the hashtag #WEPFF.

REMEMBER share the NEWS
