Mad Apple Fiction Contest - RESULTS!!!!

The Mad Apple Short Fiction Contest

Many thanks to everyone who entered. I had a great time running this contest - until it came time to judge. I whittled down the lot to my favorite four and got completely stuck trying to determine 1st, 2nd, etc.

So, I've decided to call it a four-way tie for first and skip the 2nd, 3rd, and honorable mentions. I realize this is not what I originally determined to do. There remain four winners - and they ALL get First Prize, so I believe (fervently hope) there will be no objections.

If you read them you will see they are all very different and difficult to judge against each other.

The winners of the First Prize (10,000 GPs and an Awardicon) are the following stories/authors (in numerical order by entry number):
