Best Quote:

"Tiger, are you back here?"
Hogan's voice rang out through the tunnel as he rounded the bend and stopped dead in his tracks.
Marya and Tiger looked like circling hyenas, and he felt like a deer caught in their headlights.
He so didn't want to be the one walking in on this scene.
Why hadn't roll call lasted longer, he thought.
"Ladies, I see you've met," he said with a forced smile.

And that´s all for this year, folks! Congratulations to all the winning authors! (And one of the librarians feels terribly embarrassed by all the awards you guys granted her...)

Can the winning authors please report by email to papabearawards at yahoo dot com in order to have their awards sent out? I´ll try to be quicker about it than last time... ;-)

And one consolation for those whose work was nominated but didn´t win any awards: believe us, the competition was really hard this year. So being nominated from among 160 or so stories was already an honour in itself!

Thanks a lot for your enthusiasm, and our apologies for the delay; fortunately we finally got the printing press to work properly.

We hope to see you again next January for the Papa Bear Awards for the best stories from 2010, so keep writing!
