And so it is over. The Grimm Off Competition 2009 has come to a close. Our talented Authors have had their brief moment in the sun and you the people have spoken. It was a tough call folks as both stories deserve to win. Both were spectacularly written. Both were terrifying in that way that only fairy tales can be. Both reminded me of the deliciousness of my childhood. I would like to call for a HIP HIP HOORAY for both authors and their bravery in letting us read their unedited original works of art!

May I take a brief moment to say a HUGE THANK YOU to those of you who took the time to vote. I would also like to say an ever BIGGER THANK YOU to our beautiful authors, without whom this would not be possible at all!!! They have shared with us their talent and their time and allowed me to publicize what began as a conversation between the two of them. For this, I cannot thank them enough!

Without further ado; THE WINNER OF THE GRIMM OFF 2009 IS….
