Mkay my sweet children, I finally got a chance to type this out! I just got home from a Mandarin lesson. Woooo I am TIRED. After this I have to do homework and find my mouthpiece for roller derby (can't find it...) !

Fun, fun, fun!

But not as fun as it was to read all the wonderful entires I received in early to late february! 

So, without further ado, I will reveal the winners to our Valentines Day contest held for Insolence! 

Let's start with third place, shall we?

Finn: *scowls* Why am I here, you stupid human? 

Matti: You're announcing for today since I killed you off and I was rather fond of you... *coddles*

Finn: Whatever. Anyways, here's third place.

3RD PLACE GOES TO: (palmtreegirl) with Insolence contest! I absolutely adore this story, it's so cute, and Vangie is so often very un recieving of anything romantic, and you played her up and kept her in character the whole time! It's so cute and endearing, I just HAD to give it a place! Thank you soooo much for entering, sweetheart! :)

YOUR REWARD: A dedication, a comment on one of your stories, and a promotion for you or one of your stories on my message board.

Please just shoot me a message through PM's or drop a comment on my message board and give me the details regarding the story you want me to read/promote/comment on! Congratulations! 

Finn: Yup.  Anyways, on to second place!

2ND PLACE GOES TO: (cupcakes_in_London) with Insolence Fan Made One-shot! I have to admit, this story really struck a chord with me. The short, sweet way you wrote it was captivating and satisfying, and it really left nothing to be desired. The descriptions were wonderful, and the ending was oh-so-awesome! Thanks a buuuunch for entering, I hope you had fun! :D

YOUR REWARD: A dedication, a comment on one of your stories, a promotion for you or one of your stories on my message board, and a one-shot for you or anything written by me.

Once again, just shoot me a message with the story you want me to read, comment on, and promote! And shoot me your one-shot details through a PM please. You will be moved to the top of the waiting list! Thank you!

Finn: *sighs* Great job, now--

*Vangie swings in*

Vangie: I announce first place, fish face! We all know that's how it works! Now, let's gooooo!

1ST PLACE GOES TO: (SilverRider09) with A Birthday of Annoyances! I can't even start to tell you how much I loved this one. The writing style was superb, and the way the characters were portrayed was spot on! I love the idea, and the April Fools joke Vangie made was the (very salty, courtesy of Vangie) frosting on the cake. Great job, great idea, and thank you so very much for gifting me with your entry! 

YOUR REWARD: A dedication, 2 comments on one or more of your stories, a promotion for you or one of your stories on my message board, a fan, and the chance to let a OC of yours make a guest star appearance on Insolence!

As said before, send me a PM with details, etc., etc.! Thank you very, very, very, much!

Alright, and that's about it, folks! Don't worry if your story was not chosen! I wanted to make everyone win and choose all the stories, but sadly, that wouldn't be much of a contest. Everything I read was wonderful and sweet and I know that a lot of work was put into each one! I never thought that I'd be holding contests like this for my stories, and I'm very happy that the Insolence fans rose to meet the challenge and gave me entries! 

For those of you who want to try again, or maybe you missed the deadline, or maybe you're new readers; THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CONTEST! Actually, probably very soon. I'm not going to tell you what the writnig prompt is, but I can tell you now that it's exciting!

My one hope is that I can get quite a few people to enter. I didn't get as many as I would hope with this time (I'm not complaing though, I didn't expect that nayone would actually be interested!) And I've decided I'm only going to hold the contest if you guys are game. 

SO, if you think you'd enter the next contest, let me know, and we'll see!

Anyways, thank you so much to all the people who worked so hard to enter their stories, and thank you to all my lovely readers! I'm trying to get chapter sixteen up very soon, so we'll see what I can do! 

I'm pumped!

Alright, I've gotta go! Love you guys lots, thank you so much, and have a great night/day!
