Here are the entries I considered to be potential winners of this fantastic award.

Aura's Sinking FeelingNote: This is a non-canon continuation of the main story after This Comic!
I wrote this in the ~2 weeks between Page 75 and 76.
Aura held on to Pachirisu as they tumbled through the sky, falling faster and faster. While her plan to stop the battle wasn’t the most well-thought, Aura didn’t list ‘falling down the mountain to inevitable doom’ as part of it.
With the ground beneath them growing closer and only seconds until impact, Aura shut her eyes and thought to herself, (This can’t be how it ends! There must be a way out of this! If only I-)
SPLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAASH!
Aura opened her eyes to find herself immersed within a large body of water. The force of the impact caused her to let go of the electric type she was trying to save. Down and down the two sank, into the darker part of the lake, where light from the sun could barely reach. (I’m…I’m alive?) she by PMDFnatic

_{So really, it should have been the "winners" are haha}
CONGRATULATIONS TO Gator-The-Greater and Arturo783 !!

Gator-The-Greater Has been a great follower of the comic since day one, and also included some spoilerific stuff that was spoiled from my old work- haha! But all the little details on the Board are fantastic, including the "monster at Mt Steel" letter! 

Arturo783 Drew every existing character so far in one massive picture. It's quite an honor to have the entire comic appreciated like this! Reminds me of when I used to do the same to artists I looked up to when I was a kid _{cough Nintendrawer  cough}

 Creator's Choice Award  
My personal favourite. There were so many entries that really, really made it hard to choose. But here are the, not one (because I can't decide lol) but TWO winners of this category..

Reading this was mesmerizing. This entry really stuck with me in terms of delivery and execution. It inspired me to bring more depth to the script and characters. Thank you so much! If you haven't read this, GO READ IT NOW.

As a 3D artist myself, this blew me away. It filled me with such joy that someone would put the effort into creating Aura and Toto in 3D. I think of this piece often, especially when I am working on my own games. LOOK AT THEM. AAAAA so cool! Can't thank you enough! _{Now, to mod them into some games..}





The FINAL award. 

Here we are. 


Adding as many spaces to build the hype...
