I will be contacting each medalist to discuss prize delivery.
Think about whether you would like the Gold Doubloons sent together
with the diamond-encrusted lipstick case and the pet snow leopards,
or if you would rather have them couriered to your door in person.
Three cheers to The Writer Games olympians!

I feel so humbled and yet stupendous! I want to thank my crazy family (which seems to be like your crazy family) which believed that there is no better way to waste the day but in word games and shenanigans!
WOOO! This was fun. :-)
Amazing games--thanks for the fun!
Thank you, Faith.
I just wish I could have competed more, and competed better. But it is the participation that matters, isn't it?
Lots of fun Faith Pray!
I would like to thank the Academy, and the other writers who made me feel like there were hounds after me.
Thank you for the honor of competing with the worlds greatest word athletes!
Thank you for all your hard work Faithy! It was a blast. Ben and I read over a bunch of the responses again last night and had another good chuckle.

Hey Wow! Thanks! I've been away from the blogosphere for a few days. It was a pleasure reading everyone's witty entries. :)
