Popular choice (according to votes on Facebook)
Pink Snow by Di Yume
Based on Ouka Saki Some ni Keri & Namonaki Mori no Yumegatari
I'm sure a lot of you have already visited Di's Livejournal at some point, so know what a talented writer she is. This story perfectly captures the natural elements of both songs, whilst adding in elements of sadness and conflict. A really sweet story.
Judge's choice
知られざる子供達 / Shirarezaru Kodomotachi
This was actually the only entry that came to me 100% anonymously. It was so difficult to choose a winner, from the four remaining stories, and I was torn between this and another entry, but in the end, the winner became clear. The language is beautiful, and gives a real sense of a mind decaying. Then, at the end, the change is uplifting. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
Have a happy November!
