2009 Summer Competition Results
Summer Competition, 2009 - results announced (2009-11-09 17:22:34)
Over the summer, nine stalwart members attempted to change history with the 2009 Summer Competition. Judged by members, each entrant had to write 5000 words of Alternative History. The resulting stories ranged from Elizabethan (or is that Spanish?) England to the real end of Amelia Earhart.
After much reading and critiquing, the final results for the stories were:
Mike Pearcy with The Great British Soviet, a dystopian view of Britain under Soviet rule.
Tony Matthews with I Want To Go On Living, giving Anne Frank the happy ending we all wanted for her.
Lee Taylor with The Origins and Early History of 'Grace', a psychedelic take on how the French Revolution might have been prevented.
Lee Taylor also managed to see through the anonymous entries to win the prize for "Guess the Author".
Many congratulations to the winners and all those who took part.
From left to right, Tony Matthews (2nd), Mike Pearcy (1st), Lee Taylor (3rd).
