Competition Results Part 2!

Journal Entry: Wed Oct 31, 2012, 1:02 AM
Hey! This is Namie. I won't make this journal notifyable because i'm sure it's been through many inboxes already!

I don't have computer yet but I can hog my dad's (ww)

I just wanted to say quick, but very, very thank you for making this contest enjoyable and mostly positive. To be honest, I always was scared of holding a contest because the possible negatives put me off. But I am very happy I went a long with it! It's made me feel like some day I would like to do it again.

So! round of a plause to everyone! Making it one of the best things I have done in my life (no kidding). I hope that I can work hard, so that the book, in turn with the winners can uphold the quality seen in this contest!

Thank you again!

_______________________________________________

Hi guys!  First off, before we get onto the results of the Public Choice Poll, and Raffle and other updates for the finalists.

I have something important to say;  This is actually =LuluSeason writing this on Namie's behalf
Some of you may already know, but Namie's Laptop decided to kick the bucket and Namie has lost things at quite a bad timing. Right now, Namie is redrawing everything on a computer which has no internet and things like posting this journal is quite hard on a mobile and so here I am to help out.

So, Let's head on straight to the updates!

:star: The Public Choice Poll has ended. Thank you to everyone who took their time to vote for their favourite!

The Winner was:
Touhou Fantasy XIV by *vinhnyu :iconvinhnyu:
The results were very tight, for days it was at a tie until winning by less than a percentage! Congratulations!


Next up, 
:star: Namie has a surprise for the other 3 remaining finalists !
Namie has her last set of Reimu, Marisa, and Sanae Phantasm Screen Plushies and would like to give them to you finalists! Namie wants you guys
 (:icondoomfest:,:iconjoyfool:,:iconreluin:) to decide how to divide the plushies between yourselves, and let her know what you guys decided on.  


And Lastly, 
:star: WE HAVE THE RAFFLE WINNERS! 
Namie let me handle the raffle, and to make it all fair I put the numbers of entries through a Random Number Generator. 

 The winners of a free copy of the book are:
1. :iconcreapsy:~CreaPsy
2. :iconufo-cha:~Ufo-cha
3. :iconmykyo:~mykyo

Congratulations!!
Namie will be contacting you three as soon as she can.


and Just a general note; It might take longer for Namie to contact the winners and to Open Pre-orders because of everything that has happened, and Namie says thank you for all your patience! Namie really is working hard to get things back on track as soon as possible! (and I wish her all the best from here \o/)

Yo! I still made it in time for October(happy halloween!) Here is the winner and runner up chosen with the help of the guest artist's opinions. I can't write well or long but I'll try I guess! 

:star:Winner 
This was a unanimous winner from us. Amazing, eye-catching colour palette. Really beautiful is all I can think of! Touhou and Ghibli are a very similar genre and Aya and Momiji look so cool- it fits together so well!

:star:Runner up 
The details are really impressive! There has been a lot of thought and reason evident about each character assignment, and that makes it very fun to look at!

And-

:star:Congratulations to the finalists! Not in any order- Things were very close and hard to narrow down. You have to agree that along with the quality of these works, these are very smart cross overs!


I will be contacting you all soon (in order) for your details and the print file! We'll discuss prizes for the top three, after the public choice award has been picked.

-----------

I won't write thank yous and a summary just yet because the contest is not entirely over! Time to vote! I've cut it a day short because we're behind from the extensions and all;; It will end 4th november midnight WST (4th->5th)  Here is a countdown clock

Public Choice Award! Please vote here! 


Also I'll draw out the raffle winners when the poll is over. Other note, yes preorders for the book will still be November! It depends on when I get my first proof of the book here; but somewhere in the middle of the month!

Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering how you submit articles as 'News'. I've tried multiple times, and some say it's only for staff and beta testers.

Thanks for your votes, I seriously didn't think I would win on a poll since the other three illustrations are better than mine (and have gorgeous backgrounds).
I'm kinda embarrassed! To be honest, I voted for Reluin since her work is astonishing and because I'm actually a 1001 nights' fan!
