Hrm, we had such a terribly hard time deciding, there were so many great entries here and I'm so happy that all these people put their efforts into this... The decision-making process took quite a bit and even though we eventually all came to a decision, I wanted to be able to recognize more of the entrants... So we added runner-ups, and even then I'm still not happy... So in the end I have come to this conclusion:

All entrants get their picture in the comic. :) That shouldn't be hard -- I mean, there are a good twenty kids in Yuki's class! That's plenty of leeway. Those who placed get a character poster of their choice, and the three grand winners get my firstborn child, carefully divided into three-- oops, I mean a signed original printing of the upcoming poster, parts of which can be seen on the cover of Interlude One. :) Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a bit, since this printing won't be ready until winter. (But I know who you are... so just try to escape me! Bwahaha!)

Thank you to everyone who entered! You guys all made this such a hard decision... Look forward to seeing yourselves in issue 3!

Artistic Grand Prize
Name: Alice
Webpage: Fate Martyr Sapheire
Title: Untitled
Other:  I'm not sure if I did this right at all, but, well it has two TBE characters in it. I wasn't sure if the couple was supposed to be romantic or not, and this pic really isn't. If it doesn't qualify as a contest entry, just consider it some fan art from me. ^^
Emiko: "Couple" is a conveniently loose term. :)

Runner-Up
Name:  Gabriel Joseph "Geejay" Fua
Webpage: Lovarian Adventures
Title: Orriole and Machiko
Emiko: I'm not sure, but I think this is the first fanart of Machiko?
Orriole: Ma-a! ::blushes:: I did not expect to be in an entry, most certainly not one with Miss Machiko! I am greatly pleased.

Creativity Grand Prize
Name: Gillikin
Title:  TBE Stick Figure Theatre
Other: It is finished!  Praise be to God!  My computer ate it several times, but it's done.  I'm so happy.  It's just over 100K, but that's a good size, I hope.  I liked how I ended it, a sort of MST3K reference. ;) And Talia has a very important part!  And it's stick figures!  And they move!  And it's very late at night!  Watch it in Internet Explorer!  Netscape!  AOL!  You may have to watch it twice!  I need sleep!  Hope you enjoy it! Keep up the good work!  New comic today!  Insanity growing!
Emiko: Go Jazriot, go!
Feodor: I do make a fine stick figure, don't I?
Emiko: ::kicks Feodor::

Title: ... but Feo does
Other: I first thought of this way back when you did the Pirotess rip off. ^_^  But ack!! I tried so hard to make it in before the dead line!  My scanner broke last week and I couldn't get to my friend's house to scan it until today and then I had to color it and... waaaaah.....  I want to be in the contest!  Please forgive me, o great Emiko!  I am at your mercy!! *begs* ;_;

Title: I Vonder...
Other:  It was a sickness that came over me, honest.  It's all Ask An Elf's fault and I disavow any responsibility.  Btw, Em, you might want to finally get around to filing that restraining order...
Emiko: I would, but Ori-pa said to be nice to Hirschel because we made him cry.
Hirschel: Hey! Do not tell them that!
Feodor: ::smiles and nods:: It's all fun and games until Hirschel cries...

Name:  Gillikin
Title of Entry:  Good Morning, Sunshine!
Other: Here you go, Em.  I felt like being creative, so I wrote a poem.  I'm going to sweep two categories, bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!  Oops, sorry, got carried away there. It's got my most favorite character as the 'star' of the poem.  Talia! :p It details the first few minutes of her morning, and what she does.  Hope you enjoy it!
Emiko: Nice try, Gillikin! We're on to you!
Talia: Ooh, lookit, a singy song  about me! I will sing it every morning when I wake Em up and brighten her day...

It's not what I pictured it to be like!It looks too cute and warm >.<;; ! The girl's suppose to be me, but my hair is all dark brown. I'm talking like Talia...-_-;
Emiko: I love the hair, brown or purple! This is your first fanart? It does too look good!
