Lordirish’s 4th Annual CS Comp 2016
First off, I would like to thank the community for keeping me inspired. I only wish I could do more for you all.
I am often thanked for running this each year, but to be truthful it’s partly selfishness on my part. I get lazy with my own writing. The energy I get from CS Comp motivates me, and I love to share that feeling with everyone I can!
I want to give a special thanks to all of our judges. We have three that could not make it all the way with us, but the effort they gave is awesome and we appreciate their efforts.
We have four judges that we’d like to thank for their hard work in scoring all the wonderful games submitted this year:
@Cecilia_Rosewood
@Guhik
@Pace675
@Poison_mara
A special thanks to our sponsors:
@Imon for Most Visually Striking Scene–will be providing artwork
@EmperorHeartless for Best Character Development–will be offering coding help
@Pace675 for Best Romance Betrayal–added to $200 to the general prize fund, and $150 for Best Romance Betrayal
@Shawn_Patrick_reed for Best Character–offering $50
And special thanks to:
@Fiogan for taking the time and a lot of effort to improve this year’s CS Comp. With her help, we took a big step forward in making this one of the best competitions we’ve had so far.
We had thirty-six writers enter this year, a very impressive turnout! Of those, fifteen writers submitted an entry to the competition.
Thanks to every one of our entrants for making an effort this year. Whether or not you submitted a final piece for the competition, you should feel good about entering! This is a very tough comp, and taking the plunge is a bit scary I know for some. I really hope this inspired you to write. After all, the main reason for the comp is to get you writing.
The writers who submitted entries at the close of the competition are:
Adrao
Aera
AlexClifford1994
Charles_Parkes
Fiogan
Hanon_Ondricek
Imon
Lucid
Lycoris
mrwolf2
NeoHeartless
OScott
P0RT3R
Shawn_Patrick_Reed
Wraith
The judges did not have an easy task this year; there were some close scores. Even if you didn’t make it to the winners’ circle, you still should be Darn Proud of what you accomplished. I hope to see all of these made into Hosted Games.

I’m still working on it, super-slowly mind you. It should be very, very silly. I decided I wanted to give the idea the attention it deserves and not rush it in a couple of days. Then have spent a month procrastinating.
