Competition Wrap-Up

Oh, I'm supposed to write here, am I? I probably should do that then.

Despite some minor difficulties, including Zombiebaron opening the PLS without confirming we had prize money, Zombiebaron locking the entries too early, Zombiebaron setting the wrong unlock time for the entries, plus a few last-minute scrambles, a bit of controversy over judges entering, the total absence of e|m|c, and a rather embarrassing incident involving an enormous clam and a bit too much to drink, the PLS went off well.

I say that having absolutely no idea what the other PLS competitions were like, but still.

It looks like, yes, you will get prize money, so send your postal addresses to community@wikia.com. If you are homeless, consider yourself out of luck.

Thank you to all who entered, all who helped out, and also Zombiebaron.  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  SU&W) 00:19 Aug 14, 2008

Competition Wrap-Up

And so ends another chapter in the history of the Poo Lit Surprise.

There's been some times where I wish I wasn't hosting this, but overall, it's gone better than I thought it would. The rough patches, I believe, are more than worth it for some of the new, terrific article that have been written. Congratulations to all the winners for an excellent display of writing. A hearty pat on the back to everyone else who entered, too — it's nice to have so many good writers around, so thanks for all the effort you guys have put in, especially those who wrote multiple articles.

Special thanks to Modus, for answering those questions while I wasn't there/didn't watchlist this thing, all the judges for their time spent deciding who would be victorious, and to Mordillo and MrN for doing all the adminny stuff that I couldn't.

If anyone has any complaints about my lousy maths skills (and mistakes do happen. Often.), please feel free to moan on my talk page.

Well done all again, good luck with these on VFH, and thanks for making this the not-the-worst PLS in Uncyc history![citation needed] —–Sir Heerenveen, KUN UotM RotM VFH (talk), 6/04 10:51
