Before knowing the winners and going on to the rest of the article, we would like to thank you all who participated for your efforts. First and most importantly, to the writers who have contributed 82 stories for the contest. There are people who don't always appreciate the hard work that goes into writing a good story in just a few words, and even more so when it's about one of our Characters =P, but we know that's it's not an easy task. Secondly, to Bubok for collaborating with us to give you this contest. And thirdly, to all our readers who dedicated their time to read and rate the stories. THANK YOU EVERYBOBY!!

So, without further ado, as we're sure you're all thinking we're being pestilential, we shall list aaaaaaaaaall of the winners. We have chosen 7 stories amidst the preselected 25, as well as the 3 voted most popular:

- Antonio Alarcón ::: Hikiko Ghost & Hikiko Goblins. Read Story.
- Andrés Fernández ::: Gustavo de los brazos largos. Read Story.
- Edgarin ::: Menudo, el pirata borracho. Read Story.
- Laura Nicte ::: La Muerte. Read Story.
- Miguel Ángel López Matamoros ::: Abram, el nuevo conde de los vampiros. Leer Relato.
- Ricardo Rey Pena ::: Carlitos Caos Begins. Read Story.
- Rubén Hurtado ::: Menudo, el pirata borracho. Read Story.

At first we had the in mind preparing this book with only 10 short stories, buuuut, at the request of Bubok, we're going to include 5 more that were not preselected that, in their opinion, deserve their place in the book. And we have to say that we agree:

- R.G. Cárdenas ::: Coconut Case. Read Story.
- Juan Carlos Carvajal ::: La Formula de Hikiko. Read Story.
- Margarita Nora ::: Invasores. Rumbo al planeta Uno. Read Story.
- Ana Iglesias Sánchez ::: Perrito malo. Read Story.
- Daniel Gallego Vico ::: Un día más. Read Story.

Congratulations to all those selected! And for those of you who weren't chosen, if you are asking yourselves why them and not me, we'll tell you that we took into account the basic things like if it was well written, even if not perfect, and that it proved to be entertaining, and also other things that in any other contest they wouldn't took into account, like the coherency of the original character story, and the variety in the book, so the same Character isn't features 10 times. Nevertheless, these types of decisions are very subjective and we're not always able to argue the case logically. We just know that the ones we have chosen we liked very much.

And just as a reminder, each winning writer will receive the following prizes:

Sólo a modo de recordatorio, cada escritor recibirá por cada relato ganador los siguientes premios:

- Publication of the story in the book alongside your name. Remember that it will be before the 1st December
- Tolky Monkys voucher with a value of 60€
- 1 copy of the book including your story, courtesy of Bubok.
- Promotion and publicity by Bubok and Tolky Monkys with the tools at your fingertips.

The book and certificate will be sent before the 10th December. Now it's just a matter of revising the stories on behalf of bubok and the readers, in case there's something that needs to be tweaked, illustrate them, do the book's layout and design the front cover, next to nothing!

We'll keep you informed of any news, See you soon!
