The time has come! We have reached the judging period. I will be spending the next fortnight reading through your wonderful stories and judging them according to the judging criteria.

Results will be released by 25 December at the latest.

Please remember it's just me judging, so have patience! (As you all have had so far).

And for entries to LGBTQIA+, please check your private messages. Your category has been cancelled due to low submissions and your stories will need to be added to the next most suitable category.

Any questions, please ask in the comments.

Good luck everyone!
