Congratulations! The 2011 Season is Over!
First off, CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! I can't say that enough! We've gotten just about a boatload of fantastic entries, and I'm at once humbled by the amount of participation and proud of each and every one of you!

The first and the last posts this year belonged to latemarch.
The first member to finish the first ten entries was dtsguru.
The first member to post their Halloween entry was dtsguru.
Last year, we had a total number of 74 entries. This year, we have a total number of 118 entries!
Last year, we wrote a community total of 120,018 words! And this year, we wrote a community total of:
*drum roll*
219,384 WORDS! This number blows me away, and you should all congratulate yourself for your hard work!
This year, we had 7 members complete the first ten entries: latemarch, rachieb1807, goddessofbirth, mihnn, dtsguru, rikkitsune and luna_moonsilver! Congratulations everyone!
This year, we had 6 members complete the entire challenge, and who shall receive the Winner's Banner: latemarch, rachieb1807, goddessofbirth, mihnn, dtsguru, and luna_moonsilver! Wonderful, wonderful work! Your effort and time is well appreciated here, I can assure you all! <3
More than anything I want to congratulate everyone! You all did a wonderful job this year, and you all deserve a round of applause! Those of you who have completed the entire challenge, please either pm one of the mods or email us at: octoberwritingmods@gmail.com with your email so that we can send you your Winner's Banner. You can expect those sometime this week.
In the next week or so, we'll put up a post asking for ideas for the next year, as well as for constructive criticism - what you liked, what could have been done better, and if you know of any other communities, on LJ, on Blogger, in real life, anywhere it might be fun to advertise the OWC next year. So keep an eye out for that!
Also, I anticipate having some free time tomorrow night after nine, so that's when I expect to be able to go through and read and comment on all the entries that I missed in the haze of midterms. And please, don't be shy in going through and commenting on everyone's work yourself! Whether you only get to one entry or every single one, I know each person is always grateful to receive comments!
Now it's off to NaNoWriMo, right? My name there is Late March - you'll see my little bio about how I'm a poor college student, etc. etc. Anyway, feel free to friend me or send me a message! I'd love to keep in touch with everyone!
