I'll throw "Cole in Your Stocking" in again, #474611. I had hoped for a last-minute reprieve for "The Christmas We Get" but, alas, not to be.

Realizing that we have reached the first year anniversary of this contest the Legion has decided to do something for the winners over our past year...or at least one of them. We will be running each of the eleven arcs that won in 2011 (May had no entries due to AE bugs) and will be giving a bonus prize of 500 Million to the author of the arc that we consider to be the best of the best; that is the previous winning arc that gets the most votes from our playerbase. There is no deadline on this contest; as it to run it in conjunction with our usual monthly arc it may take us an extra week or so to get through all of them; but sometime in the next six weeks an announcement will be made on whose arc was chosen as the absolute best of our winners for 2011. All of them were quite good so I do expect this to be a challenge for our members.

The winning arcs from 2011 are:

Tales of Cimerora: Of Feathers and Fur... Arc ID 12647 by @Nebulhym

Suppression Arc ID 374481 by @Gypsy Rose

Nova Roma: American Empire Arc ID 347594 by @Liberty X

Day Job Hell: A Villain's First Day Job Arc ID 322480 by @Clave Dark 5

The Golden Age Secret of the Paragon Society Arc ID 344596 by @Wrong Number

The Golden Scepter Arc ID 9852 by @Mystic Fortune

Small Fears Arc ID 12285 by @Wall of Knight

Save the Diver, Save the World Arc ID 183832 by @Ankylosaur

The Coldest of Wars Arc ID 299972 by @Zaphir

The Serpent Beyond the Horizon Arc ID 515140 by @Ankylosaur

City of Ho Ho Ho Arc ID 18775 by @Tubbius


Being considered or winning this special prize does not make you ineligible to enter our regular monthly contests. The only person who is ineligible is the winner of the previous month.

Congrats, Tubbius! And I've gotta admit, I'm more than a little anxious... and greedy :P... to see if Small Fears makes it into the final running...

To kick off January submissions, I'd like to submit my latest arc: #529832 Rularularian.

Though it took a few unexpected turns while pulling it together, I feel like this story came together nicely!

Hope you all enjoy taking it for a spin!

Thank you for doing this. Finally getting some plays on one of my arcs was such a great way to start the new year.
