For the purpose of naming all the authors, the final entry in 4th place titled "Project DPR: Codename Templar One" was also written by bonhommearmonica
First of all let me say that all the entries were very awesome reads! The authors have outdone themselves yet again you all should be proud! Thank you all for participating!
Here I will briefly explain how the ranking was determined.
Point System:
1- The first thing I looked at, obviously, was the number of votes, but that alone isn't enough to determine a winner and is not necessarily an indication of such! Especially in this case since there were so few votes.
2- Spelling, Grammar : I gave 10 points to each entry and as I read through them, I deducted 1 point each time I spotted something wrong/off.
3- Normally, we would look at "sticking to the theme" but in this contest there was no theme, the entries were reviewed to ensure that they stuck with the same idea throughout the story!
4- Polish: the "flow" of the story (easy to follow, grabs the readers interest and make them want more).
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Congratulations to all!
And Nugget, you can start thinking about the theme for the next contest!

I am taken aback at coming in first, and atribute it to my being a fairly good speller and stickler for punctuation...
