As of midnight, my time, our new God of All Literature is the still anonny author of "For Now We See!"

I'd like to ask my assistant, the beautiful and talented ad hoc, to unveil the authors and I'd like to thank everybody for writing, reading, and voting. This was, perhaps, one of the weirdest challenges, but it produced the most closely contested race. Good work everybody who entered.

Once again, special thanks go out to Hulver, without whom none of this would be possible. Kellnerin, who inspired this and is the wind beneath my wings. Ad hoc, creator of the boss challenge-posting site: you are a truly classy cat, thanks amigo. And 2 plus 3 equals 5 for being a good sport – I hope I'm not sleeping on the couch.

Good night everybody and remember what my good pal Joey Bishop used to say, "A friend in need is a pest."

Cover Winner: We have a tie. First poster gets to be the front cover, second poster gets to be the back cover.
