Okay, before I pull names out of a hat, let me just say, wow. It took a bit to write the winning characters in. That's right, characters. Every submission will eventually be added, since I didn't get an insane number of options, three were PMs, two were in the actual comments, and five were from some of my friends irl. So, this section is for the two who are going into the triple, you heard correctly, TRIPLE update of Hope coming out tomorrow.

-----(I wanted to jot my live reactions to the drawing, here they are)

Let's see, first person into story line is... *pulls slip* christmasgeek2010! Wow. Still on top, aren't you, Geeky?

(My friend Mal, sitting next to me cuz I was at her house when we drew names)
Wait, her name's Geeky?

No, I just don't know if anyone knows her actual name without having to private message her so I figured I'd leave that secret be.

And she calls herself Geeky?

Apparently.

*Mal breaks down laughing*

I don't think it's that funny, Mal.

To you, maybe. It's pretty weird hearing that for the first time.

Says the gemstone.

Says the tonic.

It doesn't work that way.

Whatever, draw a second winner.

Before I draw the next name, I want to point out she was one of the only two commenters. We could potentially have both commenters win. Would that be weird?

I don't think so. I mean what are the odds?

Well we have one of them, that leaves a one in nine shot.

Let me pick it then.

Okay, shoot.

*she draws a name* @Sofia with a zero and a one.

So, like, S0f1a?

Two zeros, actually.

OH, S00f1a! She was the other commenter, how about that. Totally called it!

Yeah, sure hotshot.

-----

So, yeah. Congrats to those two, your characters are getting written in. If you want to join in and potentially win next time, check the character contest page of this Journal. And to christmasgeek2010 and S00f1a, you can make new ones now that yours has been picked, me and Mal will just make sure you two don't win again next time. That'll be a little unfair.

Cheers for reading and have a nice day!
