MCWC XVI - The Winners!
MCWC XVI
Congratulations to the winners!
In FIRST PLACE is Swords Made of Letters by Basileos Leandros I. One way to add tension and drama to a story is to set it on a border or interface between two very different peoples, places or times. Basileos sets his story on two borderlines - a physical border between countries and a historical border between a time of peace and a time of war. Right from the start, this dramatic tale provides action and drama .... kidnapping, a car crash, tense meetings between mafiosi and infiltration by spies. Tense dialogue, evocative descriptions and secrets and mysteries keep readers wanting more. This win earns Basileos three Writers' Study competition points - half-way to a bronze Writers' Study Competition Medal - and immortal glory in the Hall of Fame. Congratulations, Basileos Leandros I, on your first-place win!
In SECOND PLACE is The Tale of the White Leopard by Admiral Van Tromp. Successful writers tend to take time to refine their world-building and their writing. Admiral Van Tromp has been working on the low-fantasy setting of this tale for six years - and he is still working to improve it! Readers are attracted not only by the detailed world with its own history, technological development and languages, but also by the way that Silander is thrown into the middle of chaos which he does not understand As Admiral Van Tromp already had 4 Writers' Study competition points and this win earns him two more, he now qualifies for a Bronze Writers' Study Competition Medal - congratulations!
This was a reduced competition, so we have two winners.
