Being just the bestiary mod, do I technically count as staff? O.o

In this case, that's up to you XD You don't have to judge if you don't want to, and if you DON'T I see no reason you couldn't enter.

Remember, there are TWO DAYS left to enter the contest. We've only received one entry so far, so if we don't get any more, we'll have to extend the deadline, but we will not extend it a second time, so make sure you get your entries in!

Well, Hiko, I tossing some ideas around in my head the other day xD I was planning to write it while I was at work (if I'm at my usual station, I have time to jot down things while working), but I haven't been on my usual station, sooo~ I haven't had time :< We shall see~

The staff have voted, and the winners are decided!
First place goes to HIKO! We loved how you incorporated so many of the games into your entry and tied them all together. Definitely not an easy thing to write, but you pulled it off!
Which, of course, means second place is awarded to KAIYASHU! Very strong characterization of Setzer, and just thoroughly entertaining to read.
You guys made this really, really hard for us, and the votes were divided. On writing merit alone, either of you could've taken first place. Thanks for making this contest possible! Go ahead and send me a PM with any specifications or requests about your prizes, and I'll get them to you as soon as possible.
