After many many delays, I am happy to finally announce the winners of the Book Master's Offer writing contest!
We received 16 submissions in total. Of these we selected 5 winners. Each of these five will receive either 20 platinum or a level 3 enchant of their choice.
The winning stories are:
"An Ode to Ale and Flesh Eaters" by Madelyn
"Song of the Unknown Bard" by Elfdragoniii
"A Study of Innate Elemental Alignments" by Leon Kirilangi VII
"Essence of Seraphim" by Sen
"Journal of Scholar Mallan Parts I-III" by Kaerson Hirana
As promised, the text of these stories/poems will be made available in a very public form shortly. The format of the publication will be revealed soon.
Thanks to everyone who participated. To those whose works were not chosen, I want to add that in addition to the criteria listed in the original contest post, the submissions were also judged on how well they fit with past site lore. It would not be possible to integrate some more contradictory stories with past events/lore. This does not mean that these stories were poorly written or bad in any way. It was simply a matter of integrating the text with the DL canon (loose as it may be).
Congratulations to the winners! I really enjoyed reading prose and poetry as opposed to RP-style writing. This contest has reaffirmed my belief that DL is truly a talented community. I encourage all of you to keep writing, and thank everyone who found the time to submit their work!

Oh wow, very cool!! This made my day; thanks very much for choosing my thesis!! I've been planning to perform a second study similar to this one, including active RPers and their characters, in order to test the accuracy of my initial findings...but this turn of events has given me additional motivation. I look forward to the next writing contest; you can bet that I'll participate again.
