Austin Gunderson

Austin, contact me about your prize at rluellam at Yahoo dot com.

Congratulations are in order for all three of our finalists. And special thanks to each of you who entered, commented, and voted.

To make the challenge work, we needed you all!

Best known for her aspirations as an epic fantasy author, Rebecca LuElla was the sole remaining founding member of Speculative Faith. Besides contributing weekly articles here, she blogged Monday through Friday at A Christian Worldview of Fiction. She worked as a freelance writer and editor and posts writing tips as well as information about her editing services at Rewrite, Reword, Rework. Becky passed away on or around Oct. 6, 2025, and now awaits possible publication of her epic fantasy in the New Heavens and New Earth.

    Congrats, Austin!

  2. Thanks, Rebecca!  This was a fun contest and a good e-laboratory for evaluative reading.  I feel grateful to have been a participant, let alone a finalist.

    Thanks to everyone who took the time and care to read and evaluate the proliferate entries.  And I especially want to thank all of you who went out on a limb, perhaps for the very first time, to bare 200 words’ worth of your writerly souls to the world.  It takes nerve to offer oneself up for public critique, and I’m just one of many who are grateful for your nerve.  There were a lot of excellent entries out there, many of which I thought warranted more attention than they, for whatever reason, received.  Fellow speculative-fiction-writers-who-are-Christian, I salute you!

    Grats to Austin and to everyone who participated. There were some cool little stories there that I hope people become encouraged to develop further.

    Congratulations, Austin! Well deserved. Now get back on that other project, before I hack your computer. 😛

What say you?
