Congratulations, and be back tomorrow night for your next challenge!
That’s the end of the first challenge. Judging has begun, so look for results just a few days from now on Sep 12th. To the 30+ who entered our contest this year, and the 20+ who turned in entries, thank you for participating in the Harlan Ellison Memorial Round, and welcome to the Gauntlet!
You can still be a Spectator, but active competition will have to wait until next year. We have 34 entrants for the 2018 tournament, which is 1 shy of tying the all-time record set in 2015, and nearly double our number from last year. Way to go!
Round One of 2018’s Gauntlet honors the memory of Harlan Ellison. First Challenge: read and review “He Who Grew Up Reading Sherlock Holmes.”
Deadline: Sunday, September 9 @ 10PM Eastern Standard Time.
If you’ve been keeping time, and if you’ve been following along, then you know where we are. The Gauntlet is open for sign-ups. Let’s hear it for the brave souls who have joined up already! We’ve got two competitors, and a handful of spectators. I have a theory on the latter:
“Some people just want to watch the world burn.”
So let’s give them a show. First challenge announced on August 26.
That’s right, the Gauntlet is coming back! Bookmark the contest, if you haven’t already, and we’ll see you Aug 10th when we open for this year’s sign-ups!
Allow us to share a sample of this year’s winning story, “Doing Life in Samarkand Sulci” by the now multiple-time Champion of this tournament.
This tale was based upon our final prompt, which asked contestants to write a story in an assigned setting, one that could not take place in present-day.
That’s hashtag history by the way. Here are your Final Results for the Gauntlet aka G17:
Second Runner-Up: Travis Burnham
First Runner-Up: Alexis A. Hunter
Gauntlet Champion (once again): Samantha Jenkins
Please stay tuned for a lot more.
