Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dearest Friends,

The polls have been closed for some time now, and at last I have the pleasure of announcing the Champion of the Myntion Manor Original Character Tournament. I apologize for not releasing this sooner; I have been kept busy by a merciless outside world.

I promised I would not keep you in delicious suspense when I made my presentation, fanfare, and speech of gratitude on the day I opened the polls. I could fill up this space with a lot of things, but I will hold true to this promise.

Having fought through auditions, rounds, semi-finals, and the stunning final match, and emerged Victorious, the recipient of glory and fortune, and our coveted Grand Prize, the Grand Champion of the Myntion Manor Original Character Tournament, is none other than:

SNARKYPOET AND HER CHARACTERS, FLORENCE AND THE MORSTENDS

All right, everybody, we have a winner! We have a winner! And you know what that means- party time! Release your confetti and streamers, sound the trumpets, pop the champagne, fire the guns, SNARKYPOET AND FLORENCE AND THE MORSTENDS have won the Myntion Manor OCT! Cheers! Congratulations! F�licitations! Gl�ckw�nsche! Felicidades! Mazeltoff! I apologize if the accents don�t show up, but they all mean CONGRATULATIONS! WHOOT! Your peers have judged you the Best in this marvelous competition, and may you always strive for nothing less in your great art!

And let�s not forget to give a big round of applause for Bleeding_AngelX- he did a wonderful job, and deserves recognition for granting us such a great show- in a tournament like this, where the greatest reward is self-improvement, getting your work out there, and the strengthening of such a community, we all hold the roses in the end. It was a long, hard, fight, and he made it all the way to the final round; that in itself is something to be proud of.

Now, because we all like getting things, and we all like giving even more, I have to follow up with this announcement:

All contestants, it�s time to turn over the SPOILS. I�ll talk to Snarkypoet about how she wants to do this, but just get prepared to flatter us once again with your mad writing skills to fulfill her commissions. I myself await her request.

BUT IT�S NOT OVER YET.

Please, dear readers, sweet listeners, keep your seats! Our story is not yet done! Snarkypoet has yet to finish her tale! She has her finish for the Morstends� run, and we will work together to create the final ending of the Myntion Manor tournament in the storyline my own entries follow. We also request Bleeding_AngelX with the latter, so never fear, Drek supporters, your man�s still on board! (I can�t speak for him about your girl, though. Ooh, don�t hurt me.) So, please, stick around for the stirring conclusion to the Florence story, and the last chapter in the Myntion Manor tournament.

With Sincerest Affections,
And All My Love,
Your Hostess,
Tisuna
