Hello Everybody~! I bet most of you guys forgot that this contest was even going on, didn't you? Well I didn't. . _ .

I've felt guiltier and guiltier about it as each day has gone by.
Because I honestly can't say that I have a valid excuse for waiting to announce the winners of this contest for almost two years now...

The only reason I have to give you is that there was just so much turmoil going on in my life that I absolutely no will power to work on the prizes... it's a lame excuse, and it feels rather selfish, seeing as how I've drawn plenty of things over the last two years for myself, and for others, but it simply felt like an incredibly daunting task. Like something that couldn't possibly be done

Now however, now I feel much more confident about my ability to get things done, and I think I've held off on posting this long enough.

So here we have our winners!!!:

And those are all the prize-winners!! (As compensation for the wait, I actually pumped up the prizes a little, if anyone noticed. xD)

Originally there were only going to be ten winners in total, but there were so many more great entrants that Osha and I had a hard time narrowing things down. In the end we ended up taking three more than we expected. XD;;
We really loved all of them, and it was a tough competition. So don't feel bad if one of your Saiyans wasn't one of the winners. Chances are that it was simply because their biography didn't mesh very well with the rest of the story.

Thank you to those of you who didn't win for your participation, we really enjoyed and appreciated every single entrant's effort and great characters!

And if you were really hoping to get your character into the story or something, maybe we could even work something out with a few small changes.

Otherwise, that's it! I'll send everybody a note so that you can come and claim your prizes. Sorry again for the wait.

Oh, and PS - to those of you who were worried after my last entry, thank you for all of your heart-felt concern and advice, it really comforts me to know that all of you have my back. I talked things through with my mom, and she acknowledged my concerns. She is still planning on marrying him, the wedding is coming up soon, but after a very big family talk, I'm feeling much better about things now. I'm getting to know him and giving Chuck a chance. Hopefully maybe this has all just been a blessing in disguise.
