Oh ack - that's hilarious!!! And BNL! (I forgot to mention mine was also BNL) It made me laugh out loud the first time I read it. And the second time. And it probably will the third time, too. The bag of tomatoes - Illyria and her monkey - I can see it all. Hee hee - really great!

Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances, the prizes for this contest have been reduced and only one prize will be given out: a THAW Lorne figure.
CMK and I are very sorry for everyone who entered this contest on the original terms, and regret to bring you this news. We'll gladly take the brunt of any questions, concerns or complaints in our PM boxes.
So, without further ado, the winner of THAW Lorne Karaoke Contest is...
[glow=red,2,300]Mothperson!![/glow] Congratulations! Be sure to PM your address to me ASAP so your prize can get out to you right away!!
-Matt

THANK YOU!!! Thank you guys. I have wanted a Lorne for ages. To win him is especially gratifying. My usual verbosity has suddenly deserted me.
Just...thank you.

congratulations mothperson! I really liked your entry. But on another note, I'm really dissapointed on how this contest was run. Not only did it take a month for the winner to be announced but only 20% of the original prizes are going to be given out without any real reason given. The concept was really great but it wasn't handled well at all.

Not only did it take a month for the winner to be announced but only 20% of the original prizes are going to be given out without any real reason given. The concept was really great but it wasn't handled well at all. Those darn circumstances! Seriously, though...I do apologize for the way this contest ended up going. I've just been really busy with my transition into college, and I wasn't able to get into contact with Matt for an amount of time that would allow us to actually discuss the entries until recently. I never wanted to have you guys wait this long for a winner to be announced. And I don't even want to address the prize thing because I feel that there is no room to complain. They're free...you don't shovel out any money to pay for them. I know it sucks that it was reduced to only one prize, but that's the way things go sometimes (as we've seen with other contests...aka the monthly contests, custom contests, etc.). There are always contests on the forum, so there will be more chances to win some awesome stuff another time. Again, I'm sorry the contest ended the way it did, but such is life. There will be more contests on the way, and I am going to make sure that they are done correctly. I haven't really been able to find the time to actually come to the forum that often these past few weeks, but I'm going to start making time. I miss everyone, and I miss working on the forum as much as I used to. So expect a large effort from me to come back with a bang! -CMK

It is a shame about the prizes, it really is. I was very hopeing^^; But owell, free stuff, you can't really be mad, I'm sure they're was a fine reason to why there was only 1 winner.
Congrads Mothperson. Your entry was a delight to read.

Wasn't there only 13 entries? Seems a bit much to have 5 prizes for that few entrants- better to spread them around for other comps.
BTW congrats to mothperson!

I worked pretty hard on my entry because I wanted Lorne so much. But I must say that hearing you guys enjoyed my story is rewarding in a way even Lorne can't match. Thank you all. I'm very glad you liked it.

The concept was really great but it wasn't handled well at all. Be glad that there are contests at all. CMK, maybe you should put a disclaimer on the next contest essentially saying that contest guidelines are 'subject to change'.

Lorne arrived the morning I was leaving town, and I just got back, and just released him from his box and plastic prison. He is quite wonderful. I've got him set up next to one of my computer speakers, and we are doing karaoke. I wonder why his face/head is so focused at the floor. I hope it's not from pain at my singing. I might have to build him his own shelf higher up on the wall, to give him his distance, and to spare my feelings. But he is really great (*love* the glitter). I am very happy. Thank you.
