Hello, everyone! It's been a joy to read everyone's Writer's Jam 2 pieces over the past couple of weeks. Competition was tight again this time around, there were certainly lots of talented pieces to go around! Due to how close the winning pieces were in score (as well as the prize pool being the same for all 3 winners), winners will be announced in no particular order! Please give their stories a shot, they're more than worth your time!
Without further ado, here are the winners of Writer's Jam 2!

Sure, It's Christmas Once More by @ScienceJoe
A uniquely cozy piece that is able to indulge in both the morbid and the wholesome simultaneously. Definitely give it a read!
Bones of the Old World by @Durinde
Another ghost story banger by Durinde about 2 different people coming together to accomplish a goal, whether they like it or not. Check it out!
A great piece that is able to take a relatively simple concept and execute it brilliantly. Give this one a read too!

While there are only 3 "official" winners (I am too broke to give prizes to anyone else), competition was so tight that I want to take the time to highlight some pieces that were incredibly close to being winning pieces. I highly encourage anyone reading this to check these pieces out as if they were winners as well, they are of the same quality and absolutely deserve to be highlighted!

What Lies Inside by @Ferstofus is a wonderful and impressive piece that is able to maintain a poetic rhyme throughout the entire submission, and is still able to maintain an intriguing narrative. Check it out!
The Wood Pig's Fortune by @Intrapath is a multilayered piece that is able to do abstract very well! Make sure to give it a read.
Home For Christmas by @wayyward wastes no time using every sentence to progress something, whether it be the strong characterization seen throughout or the actions taken by said characters. Definitely a very tightly and carefully made piece worth giving a read!
Milk by @TheJudddman is guttural read that does particularly well describing not only the misery brought about by a medical condition, but by the lifestyle that is forced upon someone who has a debilitating condition. Read this too!

I had an excellent time read everyone's pieces, and it means a lot to me that I get to host this and see so many people make such excellent things in such a short period of time, with such a limited word count! You're all very talented writers and I really hope to see you all participate in future Writer's Jams. Winners, please reach out to me with your PayPal information within the week so I can send you your award!
If you have any feedback on how you believe the Writer's Jam could be better structured or facilitated, please navigate to my Discord and reach out to me there! I made quite a few changes this time around compared to the first one, and I'm still finding my way when it comes to making this competition as much of an "event" as it can be!
