Please let us know if you decide to continue your one-shot and where you have posted it (FFN, Fictionpad, etc) and we will be happy to promote it for you. Feel free to reply to reviews that readers left you during the contest. 

We want to recognise everyone who took part and submitted an entry. For some, it was their first time entering a contest, or even their first time writing anything at all. As a thank you to all the authors who participated, our banner maker Shneezles was kind enough to make a banner for each story in the contest. We know this might not be the norm for contests, but we just loved all the entries and wanted to thank ALL the authors for their hard work:

Thanks again to everyone who was involved in this contest! 
Sparklymeg and Twilightladies
