Hear ye, hear ye! The Juxtaposition Fan-Fanfiction Contest is officially closed, and the winners have been determined! It was a long, grueling decision-making process (see the AIM excerpt at the bottom of the page), but we have persevered even long after the official due date. We love you that much. :3

It’s All About Chance by Meallanmouse

Some winners do not match the polled winners on Metellus Cursor. As per the rules, no one was allowed to win more than one doodle, so we had to sort through, and (through use of mind-boggling algebraic equations and no small amount of calling upon the deities of math) we arrived at suitable runners-up. Think of it as a way to spread the joy. ;3

And the announcement you’ve all been waiting for, the Overall Winner (as chosen by us, Cafei and Vaeru) is...

*drumroll*

Doodle #8 – It’s All About Chance by Meallanmouse

Thank you to all who participated! We’ve all had more laughs, giggles, chortles, hee-haws, guffaws, belly-laughs, hee-hees, and tee-hees than would ever be healthy thanks to all of the awesome entries.

And on to the part you’ve really been waiting for (it’s okay, we understand)...

The eight winners of the doodles will receive one chibi drawing of their choice (transformer or human) drawn by Vaeru and colored by Cafei. If you are a winner, please contact Vaeru at sparkbearer@gmail.com and tell her what you’d like your chibi to be.

Meallanmouse, as overall winner, will also receive a cameo in the sequel fic to Dreaming of Who? by Vaeru as well as a cameo in an upcoming Juxtaposition comic by Cafei.

For everyone else, you receive our heartfelt thanks for all of your hard work. :3

And... since we know that means absolutely beans, anyone who entered a story for the fan-fanfiction contest will also all be a part of a group picture that Cafei has been working on for the past several weeks!

So far, we have descriptions for Transformergirl, KyudaimeHokage, Cdol, Mellanmouse, Jason M. Lee, Michael Ha, Madlibs44, Samantha Edis, and Crystal Shekeira. Anyone who entered a story for the contest but has not sent in a self-description to Cafei on the thread at Metellus Cursor needs to do so within a week (before January 20th) if you want to be in the picture.

Now, a glimpse into your hostesses’ thought processes (AKA Why It Took So Darn Long For Them To Get The Winners Out):

Vaeru (9:28:56 PM): Egad, we still didn't choose an overall winner. DX
Cafei (9:29:06 PM): bwah!
Cafei (9:29:25 PM): I think we were both leaning towards ---- yes?
Cafei (9:29:30 PM): or did we wobble?
Vaeru (9:30:06 PM): I did. XD
Vaeru (9:30:26 PM): Did you?
Cafei (9:30:38 PM): ...I dunno ToT
Vaeru (9:30:56 PM): We're never going to get this done.
Cafei (9:31:09 PM): ok. when we post the winner (eventually), we have to post these parts of our conversations so that everyone will know why we took so long to decide XDD
Vaeru (9:31:38 PM): XD Do you have any saved? We have a lot to choose from.
Cafei (9:32:05 PM): umm I saved the last one where we discussed the fun of bath time with Evy
Vaeru (9:34:11 PM): ... we have got to be the biggest sufferers of ADHD in the world. And I'm including that brat Jared from my kindergarten class, here.
Cafei (9:34:56 PM): I'm not going to disagree with you on that XD;
Cafei (9:35:32 PM): its the writing and the drawing. Causes people to become easily distracted. Funny, because you'd think it would have an opposite effect
Vaeru (9:36:05 PM): We have to have our heads in the clouds or else we'd never have any good ideas. :3
Cafei (9:36:50 PM): exactly
Cafei (9:37:05 PM): By the way, we're getting away from choosing a winner again XDD;
Vaeru (9:37:11 PM): BALLS!
Cafei (9:37:17 PM): lmfao
Cafei (9:37:37 PM): we are so bad at this **falls back in chair laughing**
