Damnit! I was SO CLOSE!Nick Kyme wrote:After months of editorial agony and over 950 entries we at last have our four finalists to the Heroes of the Space Marines short story competition!
It's been a hard road, folks, but we made it. So, without ado, here are the lucky few...
Dylan Owen, for his story Honour Among Fiends
Darren Cox, for And They Shall Know No Fear...
Peter Mitchell, for Eternity On The Run
Peter Fehervari, for Nightfall
Congratulations to all of the finalists, who will now go on to write their stories for the Black Library editors' scrutiny.
A huge debt of appreciation should also go out to all the entrants, whom without their efforts we wouldn't have much of a competition. Commiserations to the unlucky masses - there's always next time...
Speaking of those unfortunate few, here is the roll of honour for those entrants who made the second cut but just didn't quite make the final grade. We salute you.
(In no particular order...)
Tomas Herbertson, The Sword of Fire
Peter Wallin, At Mortarian's Side
Mark Wight, Death Sentence
Roland Wenskus, An F for a P
Alex Marshall, Virulentus
Robert Clark, Prodigal Son
Andrew Smillie, Rousing Faith
Ron Elliot, Song of Blood
Aarod Vawser, Starblood
Ricardo Perea, A Question Of Treason
Yefim Galkine, A Symphony Of Screams
Michael Lugo, Protection
David Smith, And Then There Was One...
Christopher Worth, Talons
Nathan Touchstone, Opportunities Of Targets
Phew! That's everyone. To the second cut group, you came very close. A bit more effort and application next time and who knows...

Oh well. Maybe I should have spent more than one night on it, after all.
Have a very nice day.
