Hey! The Max has picked the winners for the Still Sucks to Be Me short story contest! I did it the old fashioned way this time…I put everyone’s name on a slip of paper (additional slips for any extra entries), mixed them up, put them in a bowl, had The Max close his eyes and then pick out the winners.

So.

I am SUPER excited to announce that the grand prize winner of the contest is Astrid! Woot! And what a cool name!

Astrid!

So, I’ll be sending off a questionnaire to Astrid for her to complete and then I can figure out what I’m gonna write about! No idea yet…

Now then…the second prize T-shirt goes to…Loic! I wonder which one he’ll pick…

And because I love ya’ll (look, I said ya’ll…I must be channeling Myra McEntire), EVERYONE who entered this contest gets a consolation prize (Signed bookplate & an assortment of Sucks to Be Me and Still Sucks to Be Me temporary tattoos). So if you entered this one, check your email for details.

Congrats to everyone!! And thank YOU so much!

PS If possible, I’ll be working some of the other entrant’s names into the story as well…we’ll see…probably just in passing, but you never know!
