I feel sorry for those that have taken the time to work on their entries and only achieve a second rate win after all the confetti and fireworks went off for the original winner. Hopefully those people will be driven even more to write more detailed, descriptive, and inspiring stories.

As for the one that cheated, I hope that you will learn from this. A cheater will always be found out, and in the end people will not want to associate with you for risk that you may take their work for your own. On a site that is so structured on community involvement, it could very quickly become lonely.
