The Freewrite House Literary Talent Award: June Results
Okay… so before we go any further I would like to apologise on behalf of the @freewritehouse for the delay in announcing the winners. We had an issue with disappearing judges (a case for Ironwood Hamilton, perhaps @deeanndmathews?) and Marianne asked me (@felt.buzz) to step in and judge the English language story. And I couldn’t find the time to do it straight away, and when I did it took longer to judge them as I had thought it would (because they were all bloody amazing!)… but anyways, it’s done now so better late than never and all good things come to those who wait, etc...
I’d like to thank all of you who entered. I loved reading all your entries (most of which I hadn’t seen before).
7 people submitted some excellent posts for consideration in the English Language

It was hard to choose but here are the results
First place:
@deeanndmathews
https://steemit.com/writing/@deeanndmathews/death-at-the-pool-an-ironwood-hamilton-mystery-and-expanded-freewrite-tale
A complete murder mystery story. Extremely well written with interesting characters, it wouldn’t have been out of place in the @steemfiction book on Murder Dead Silence (it is still available in your not-so-local Amazon bookstore, folks!).
Second place:
@sarez
https://steemit.com/freewritehouse/@sarez/a-criminal-dissent-a-short-story-for-freewritehouse
Another example of a complete short story (and one that seems to have been written especially for the contest). Very complete characters and well-imagined scenes.
Third place:
@owasco
https://steempeak.com/freewrite/@owasco/tart-a-freewrite
This is more of a scene than a short story but it is beautifully imagined and the last line brought a smile to my face and made me wonder what was going to happen next.

I don’t speak Spanish. Sorry. So I will use google to translate this. I do hope it doesn’t say anything rude like “@mariannewest smells like boiled cabbage” when I am really trying to say “congratulations to our winners!”.
There were 4 entries and they were judged by @latino.romano
No hablo español Lo siento. Entonces usaré google para traducir esto. Espero que no diga nada grosero como "@mariannewest huele a col hervida" cuando realmente estoy tratando de decir "¡felicidades a nuestros ganadores!".
Hubo 4 entradas y fueron juzgadas por @ latino.romano
