    1. If I read another fic I might vomit.

      Regardless, good luck and congratulations to everyone that made it this far!

    2. Narfola. Why did the best had to make it to this... ah, right. Nevermind, carry on, I'll just stay here and ponder who I might vote for.

    3. Please for the love of all that is unholy french magazine racks, holy post traumatic stress disordered gerbils and neutral haymaker throwing robots with biological repoduction systems that work with other robots. Make sure whatever custom image you get is the best one ever devised by anything ever. (For a supposedly evil monster I'm not a poor sport, just a poor writer)

      The best of the best are here looking for a shot at the top who will win? Everyone here better have read all of these to make a good to honest choice.

      Also what was the best joke or moment in the written contest? "I'm keeping it" or “I think this rock is getting ideas above its station” and then there's cutely enough "Today, I nearly lived the dream."

      This contest was a lot of laughs and maybe a few tears at some of the best written stuff that didn't make the cut.

      In any case I still haven't voted and will wait to vote since I'm an undecided this time around as I'm split over five of them. I still think "Pudding it to the ponies"(#40) should have used yogurt.

    4. This decision requires a deep state of concentration.
      To the kitchen !!!

    5. *back from the kitchen*
      Erm...it feels weird to eat pickles after I read Mushy Stuff again.

      Anyways....this is a tough decision. I'm looking for the stories that have the most creativity in them combined with good story telling and though all these works are nice, I think only three of them meets both of my requirements: 19) 24) 32)

      19) Totally random - in a funny way - and I still can't stop giggling at the thought of a herring slapping Celestia in her sleep xD
      Damn old cliché but it works on me XD

      24) I liked the idea of Spike growing, the entire sotry had a believable atmosphere and a nice ending :)

      32) Ownage. Luna+Spike on a pranking spree! :D


      I don't know which one to chooooooose!!!
      Can I vote for them all? :P


      P.S.: whatever the results will be, Pinkie Pie’s Incredible Interplanetary Super Prank should get some award.
      I wasn't impressed by the story telling, but the idea on its own is ingenious!

    6. Good thing everyone has read all of these already and, as much as I loved this competition, THANK GOD it's almost over!

      I feel like I have survived a zombie invasion leaving the world around me devestated, the few survivors happily cheering.
      Only the zombies are fanfics, the world is my mind and the surviviors are the few healthy neurons I have left.

    8. I was surprised enough when my fic ended up in the finals. Kind of expected not to fair well against the other eight.

      Oh well, at least my story gets it's own post to collect feedback.

    9. It's an honor just to be nominated.

    10. I agree the contest has... dragged on a bit. But I hope we see more of these things, especially with the season break.

      Perhaps next time a fixed word limit on fiction? Or maybe just leaving a week for everyone to read everything, then fewer brackets. The art didn't seem to have as many problems, though the single vote polls did skew things a bit.

    11. Bah I can't escape it. I have to choose.

      And my winner of the final round iiiiis

      The Purple Menace(s)!!!


      The Three Maresketeers sealed it. xD

      Everyone else: good job, but I can only vote on one ;-(

    12. I've got a good view of the stories from waaay down here. Which one shall I pick? I think I'll be choosing ol' 32. I like your style Usea.

    13. gotta say, this race between my story and twilight's last gleaming is getting exciting xD

      i love all of the stories on this list (most of them are the ones i voted for in their respective brackets), and if i didn't vote for my own, i most likely would have voted for twilight's last gleaming.

    14. I liked all of these, but I had to vote for Pinkie Pie's Incredible Interplanetary Prank for being the one fic that pranked me personally.

      ReplyDelete
    15. Wow, I'm surprised at the lack of votes for the other entries, though the first two were probably the strongest. Well done everyone
