This was amazing... http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/fancreations/scnyLOw0-tall-tales-of-bilgewater-winners-fan-fic-contest-results However, I have a request (Don't bother paying us to do it :), just that you appreciate our writing and even comment to almost EVERY ONE is what makes us happy ;) ). Can you make this a regular thing if at all possible??

If need be I think the community (me included) can do most of the legwork in making it happen and I honestly believe we can make the boards a better place that we enjoy going to on a regular basis (enough of those f*ck you rito posts dominating the boards' "hot" section every bloody day).

For us and for league can we have a writing hub that can be completely community based but started off by you so that we may do what we love but also share our passions with others which I think is the greatest gift you can give (not expendable rp). We can build our universe of league together, us the community in hand with riot

Hey, Chicken4Dinner - I'm supremely happy you enjoyed the little competition! It was a very spur of the moment idea to run one, and I was pretty humbled by the amount of entries and love it's had. Humbled and super impressed.

It did, however, consume almost all of my spare time for the duration and the judging/commenting period. (I tried not to spend too much work time on it, though I sneaked in a read or two in quiet moments). While I read fast, it took me a long time to consider, comment, and critique - especially when I knew people were eager to know the winners.

So while I enjoyed it immensely, I'm in a bit of a fan-fiction competition hosting hangover right now :) It will pass, of course, and I'll likely be enthused to run another, but in this downtime maybe you can help me figure out some ways of making it easier and better for everyone involved?

For example - what do writers like yourself find most important about something like this? You mentioned that a possible RP reward wasn't a major motivator - but that being read, appreciated, and commented on, was where more value was. I'd like to know if there are more players who feel the same way, and/or what would be most valuable to them if we were to run another of these. Maybe there are things that would really make players happy if it was part of a competition like this, that I've not even imagined! If you're volunteering legwork, maybe you could poll your fellow players and find out? :D

Again - thanks for your appreciation!

I had no idea about no contest. Did anything showed in the client?
