Thanks to everyone who voted for my entry. I knew going into this that if I couldn’t win a creative writing contest I’d never win anything! So thanks for reaffirming my self-belief, everyone.
There were some great entries in this contest and I genuinely feel like it was a legitimate achievement to win. I pushed hard for this kind of contest when I was fortunate enough to be party to some of the discussions regarding it, and the strength and number of the entries made me very happy I’d done so. Wallacer’s entry in particular I felt sure would beat mine (I voted for it in both rounds) but I could definitely have seen a few others emerging the winner too.
So, congratulations to everyone involved and thanks again :cheers

Thank you, and thanks to everyone else who said kind words, especially SteveM - there is no higher compliment for a writer than the one you just paid me, especially from the person who came second in this competition.
There won't be anything new in terms of fiction from me in the coming issue of WoH, though I'm assuming that my entry in this competition will find its way in. I've written a few things for it though - a small fluff piece accompanying some rules, for example - but I've really been too busy recently to commit to anything else.
I'm probably going to ask Willmark if I can start another series soon though, possibly with the same characters, or maybe something different.
