The Great 10,000 Dawns Bonus Story Contest Round 2: The Victor!

Lets start off with this: wow, there was a lot of voting! Our first Bonus Story Contest had quite a bit of people chiming in on their story pick, but this put it to shame. Literally 2.5 times the number of votes were cast this time around as were in the first contest! That's amazing. I had no idea the turnout would be so big for this, and I'm really honored that you guys were so interested (and competitive!) for which story ideas and artists got picked.

So to review, the nominations were...

Part 1: Best Story idea:
-Attack of the Glass Spiders From Mars
-A David Bowie Tribute
-A Star Wars Pastiche
-An Alexander Hamilton AU
-Weird and Wonderful Adventures on Spiral!

Part 2: Best Artist for the Job:
-Olivia Hinkel
-Rachel Johnson
-Chase Jones
-Nozomi Neko
-Raen Ngu

So, the winners of the second Great 10kd Bonus Story contest are....

Part 1: Best Story Idea

Picture
A David Bowie Tribute!!!

The Great White Duke. Ziggy Stardust. The Goblin King. Halloween Jack. Button-Eyes. Whoever you call him, whatever he meant to you, David Bowie has been a very important part of 10,000 Dawns, and of our own lives. I'm excited to write a full on tribute to this artist's life and legacy in 10,000 Dawns. You picked it, your choice shall be a reality!


Keep shining up there, Starman.

Part 2: The Best Artist for the Job!

Picture
Olivia Hinkel!!!

​The artist for "An Eloquence of Time and space" and "Cryptos" was the first person to draw art for a 10,000 Dawns story, in its premiere short story "Never Go On Walks" in the back of "Eloquence". Now she'll contribute art for another short story, helping to bring to life our Sci-Fi Tribute to David Bowie.

You can find more about Olivia at her website: 
http://www.oliviahinkel.com

"But wait, there's more!"

Voting was extremely close this time around. Even with the immense number of votes, most categories were separated by a single one. After some discussion with Olivia, we decided it would be best to include a second and third place option, to help bring the other most voted on stories to light at a later date. Therefore, congraulations to our second and third place winners:
2. Chase Jones
and
3. Rachel Johnson

Chase will be illustrating a future 10kd Star Wars Pastiche, and Rachel will be illustrating an Alexander Hamilton AU! These stories will show up sometime in the future! Your passion for these story ideas was infectious, and we're happy to oblige you in making them a reality ^_^!

A New 10,000 Dawns Theme Song! 

If you missed the announcement yesterday, the amazing musician Alex Rose has contributed a brand-new song to 10,000 Dawns as our new theme song! It's called "Space Adventure" and you can download it for free today! 
spaceadventure.mp3
File Size: 2665 kb

You can find Alex Rose on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/Alexroseandthemagicalacoustic
And her Bandcamp (with another free download!) here: ​http://alexroseandthemagicalacoustic.bandcamp.com

Thank you so much to everyone who voted, who submitted ideas, and to all of the artists who put their foot out there to be a part of this. Your support in making 10kd has been phenomenal, and I'm happy to keep making it for your enjoyment. The whole 10kd team does to. 

Love and dinosaurs, -Jim
