i assure you, i would take little pride in 'winning' my own contest. in fact i would feel a little ashamed lest it appears id fixed the results or planned a prompt that suits me.
its important as i go about this experiment that i am able to earn your trust, which is why im always seeking to refine this contest/territory so that it is run as yours and not mine.
it's therefore with mixed emotions that i announce the following submissions in order of territory zaprank last week:
Week 1 ResultsWeek 1 Results
- The Misremembered Verse [395], by @unschooled, got 1460 sats, 3 comments
- Faith list - horror story by @softglitter2d, recieved 1183 sats and 1 comment.
- A Teachers Client List by @cryotosensei received 1170 sats and 3 comments.
- Big Vinny And Julie Andrews by @siggy47 received 1956 comments and 7 comments.
meaning the only prize i can offer is the satisfsction that you were here contributing to the first weekly BEST under 400 contest.
and, that next week's prize will start at 8836[1] plus 10% of territory revenue.
Remember to zap and comment for your favourite entry so we can have a winner next week!
