Wow, I'm honored to have won and I hope everyone enjoyed my story! I know I had a lot of fun writing it, and I definitely loved reading the submissions of the other entrants. I haven't written anything creatively in several years, so it was great to get to exercise those creative muscles again. It's super flattering to get a warm reception and positive analysis by @Gilan toward my writing. Shoutouts to the other users who submitted awesome stories, as well as the other mods who hosted and judged the event. I would love to participate in more PokeMMO based stories as well as give others a chance to win. ^^ Christmas writing event when? :P

Glad to hear you got the issue resolved. Let us know how you like the game! It definitely hasn't consumed countless hours of my life or anything. :P

Hi all, please see my PokeMMO story submission in the spoiler text. It's inspired by Drifloon's Pokedex entires, which I've always found fascinating: "It tugs on the hands of children to steal them away. However, it gets pulled around instead. These Pokémon are called the 'Signpost for Wandering Spirits.' Children holding them sometimes vanish." The story includes a few PokeMMO references that I thought some of the more seasoned players might appreciate. Hope you enjoy! IGN: Renola | Title: Drifting Away | Word count: 1494
