LORE Winners Announcement!

[digitalpress]

Earlier in the year we began our LORE contest, a tradition within the Digital Press Guides, real stories from real gamers. Our customers continually tell us how much they enjoy these stories... maybe even as much as we do.

It was really tough squeezing all of the great LORE entries into our upcoming book. The process began with choosing good candidates, then figuring out how many we could fit into the space we had left, then basically RANKING the submissions but I'm happy to finally announce the people and stories that are being published this summer!

I'll gladly second that sentiment. Wish I had some good stories to share.

E-mailed you about it, but it really wasn't a "theory" per se. I just mentioned to VinnyT that I doubt I'd win because my story wasn't directly related to gaming. It got kinda off topic, even though I thought it was pretty good! I guess my "theory" (if you can even call it that) was wrong. :P

So yeah, that's all!

[RetroYoungen]

WOW. Thanks for picking my entry! My first time winning something, and it's something I really want! W00t! Thank you!
