#Congratulations to our three* winners: NegaDKR, Aguamagician, and Eevlynn!

The results are in, and I have finished giving my feedback on the PROJECT: FICTION fan-fiction competition! Our mission to the PROJECT universe resulted in a wealth of harrowing mission reports, traumatic audio-log transcripts, and tear-jerking memory readouts. For those interested in some cold, hard, uncaring, statistics, you all created:

  • 77 entries, (within the time limit)
  • 37 mentions of Leona,
  • 30 of Zed,
  • 25 of Master Yi,
  • 23 of Lucian,
  • 21 mentions of Fiora, and
  • 16 of Yasuo.

(Thanks to CaptainMårvelous for running the numbers for me while I was judging. I would have used champ icons to make this prettier, but this post is looooong already.)

Incredible work by everyone who entered - you all made judging a wonderfully difficult task :D It was a joy to read these all. The winners should be getting a little something through their client by midday today (PST). Speaking of the winners, jack in, zone out, and enjoy these stories from the PROJECT universe:


##Player's Choice Winner (16 votes**): NegaDKR (NA) Date: Classified PROJECT: Zed Status: Unstable

Specimen has been growing increasingly hostile ever since VR training session with PROJECT: Shen. Specimen said to have stared upon its fellow PROJECT for several minutes, ignoring all commands before eventually entering combat mode and attacking PROJECT: Shen. Both specimens were put into controlled stasis before severe damage could be made onto either PROJECT.

PROJECT: Zed has been subjected with higher levels of SERUM dosage since then, but each increased injection has been met with more and more hostility. If specimen continues resisting SERUM effects and growing unruliness, forced shut down may be only option.

Log: End

Date: Classified PROJECT: Zed Status: Missing

Specimen has broken out of containing unit and all connection towards it have been lost. All attempts of search and recapture have been met with negative results, other PROJECT units are being sealed and monitored until further notice.

Lead Researcher Stanwick Piddly has issued a forced shut down upon PROJECT: Zed when found. Specimen will be scrapped and parts used for future PROJECT units.

Log: End

Date: Classified PROJECT: Zed Status: HOSTILE!

SPECIMEN HAS ATTACKED LABORATORY AND IS KILLING RESEARCHERS LEFT AND RIGHT SOMEONE HEL-

I don't think this safe-house is secure anymore after a stunt like this. My ward drones are picking up movement not far from here.

##Judges-Choice Winner: Eevlynn (NA)

Just got back from talking with the police and if that wasn't the most frustrating thing anyone in the history of ever has had to deal with, I don't know what is!

Followed their instructions to the letter; left the hospital as soon as they let me, hobbled my way over to the police station, and did my best to explain to them the situation but in the end, all I got were a couple of mean looks from the officers (one of them even laughing in my face!) and the boot from the station before I was done.

I know what I saw, and no amount of shoddy (and not to mention RUDE) police-work is going to change that. They're trying to pass it off as a simple terrorist attack - hah! How would you explain the sheer amount of destruction to that street after the explosions? No technology that I know of could cause that kind of damage. Plus, how does any of that police report explain how I was the ONLY survivor this mess who _also _miraculously managed to get away with only a broken leg? (Oh wait, I "lied about being there" as far as they're concerned. Silly me.)

And the biggest mysteries of them all are the ones that I didn't even get to report thanks to the _wonderful _police force: Who, and what, was she and why did she save **me **(well, most of me, anyway - hah!) of all people...?

All I wanted were some donuts from Pantheon's Bakery...instead, I got a bunch of pain and now I donut (hah!) see any other option than to take the detective work into my own hands and find out just what exactly is going on here.

**She **might be a good place to start.

Broken leg or not, I'm going to find you, whoever you are. See you soon (I hope) !! summoner 6

There were far too many brilliant stories to list them all here, but the authors that made it particularly difficult to choose include: Helmight, Toa Innodence, Lightdragoon88, Jharr, A Superb Villian, Small Critter, and many many more. It's people like yourself that make these competitions a delight to read :D

Thank you ALL so much :D

* Yep, I said there'd be two winners but I kept editing this post over and over again, trying to decide between Aguamagician and Eevlynn, and life is too short for decisions so difficult.
** Curious about the voting? I checked with the guys who work behind the scenes on the boards to find out the actual up and down vote totals, and NegaDKR had the most up votes with 16. I dislike the boards system for measuring popularity (as mentioned in one of the comments here) so I had to do the best with what I had. Downvotes are mean, anyway.
