No, this is not a ghost coming to haunt you with Shakespearean sonnets and petite poems...

It's me, Zelda!!!

Yes, I am back from my reclusive, dark hole. (Not really, I was just a little under the weather!)

I am sorry for being out and making you wonder if they finally stuck me in the maximum security asylum with which I have been predicting my eventual fate's design.

However, I am here NOW, and am ready to give you the great news:

I HAVE BROWN EYES!!!

Hahahaha! Got'cha!

But, seriously, I am finally going to give you the results for the second competition: "The Darkest Hour."

I was honestly super dissappointed in myself and my inability to keep track of dates and do as I promised. (Don't worry, I had a talk with myself- I said I would do better next time! )

HOWEVER, I was not dissappointed in how the results turned out! All of the submitters did wonderfully on their works, and I love each and everyone of them for their amazing skils and attitudes. I wish I could give you all first place!

There must be a winner, though...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Before I actually begin, I would like to send a shoutout to my Co-Founders, especially PercyEspeon, who- against her own beliefs- is quite awesome, and much better than all of this than I am.

Both of them did their best to support the group while I was in the Land of I-Don't-Even-Know-What-Happened, and even warned against hate- even though I strongly deserved it. So for that I think you should all give them big pixel hugs. They rock- and I love them both!

I am sorry, Perce and Whitedove, for not telling you the night before. Y'all could have given the results much sooner- but this was another screw-up on my part. I am sorry.

------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, so the place winners are...(I will explain the reason for 1-3 in a moment- instead of going from 3-1).

~FIRST PLACE: Whitedove-the-Great w/ :thumb479653610:

Z: Congrats! You get 10 points and a spot on the "Featured" Folder for a month!

~SECOND PLACE: Copper9lives w/ Darkest HourDeath, death, divorce, desertion
Staggered against me, fallen one by one
Felled past
Failed future…
When the last friend
Turned her shoulder
Politely excusing herself
From the wrack and ruin
I sat on the concrete —
Hard as resolve was not —
Astonished by the pain
of simply breathing
At the intersection
Of next and nevermore.
Beyond me,
A double rainbow glimmered
Blithely on the sunlit sea.

Z: Nice Job! You get 5 points and a spot on the "Featured" Folder for 2 weeks!

And...

You are probably wondering: "Zelda, why did you write the ranks from 1st to 3rd instead of 3rd to 1st? Isn't 1st place the highest rank?"

Well, it is- BUT...

It turns out there was a TIE for 3rd place! *le gasp*

Yup, Perce and Catt had the spot for 3rd place! They both just did so well that they decided they would both just take the spot.

*playful sarcasm* Nice job guys!

No, I am joking. They did not plan for this. It just happened.

SO...

I have decided to do ONE MORE vote tally for the two of them.

*Deep Announcer Voice* Percy vs. Catt: Who will take the spot?

Rule:

-Send me a note (entitled "Vote for 3" or something similar to that title) with one of the above deviants and I will tally up who gets the most.

That person will get a week on the "Featured Folder"!

Good Luck you two, and to the rest:

Happy Voting!

-----------------------------------------------------------

I will TRY to get the votes out to you by Sunday, Oct. 19. (I am not going to promise this, as I dissappointed y'all last time.)

Well, I best be gone! I need to post some poems!
