The palimpsest scraped and made ready again

Cameo of CajamaPat's little character






Due to unfortunate circumstances, one had to forfeit. This means there won't be any need for final judgement. It's now time to announce the winner!

Before we end it here, each of us have something to say.

:iconshadowkirby14:

We all want to thank you all for joining us along for this long, harrowing journey to the very end. We couldn't have done it without you. We understand that we haven't been as active lately due to unfortunate events during the past several months, but we're always determined to get the OCT ready and done. For those that have lost and still want to finish their stories/entries, please finish them so we can see it. We love to know where it was going afterwards. Please don't be discouraged from the loss, it was hard for many of us to choose one over the other and it felt conflicting at times. Over the course of the OCT we've learned a lot when it comes to running an OCT and hopefully from the mistakes we made here, we'll certainly improve in the next. Prizes will come very soon. Thank you all so much for being around with us.

Remember, don't be discouraged from the loss, we all have stories to tell and it does hurt when your story gets discontinued or becomes noncanon, but that does NOT mean you have to throw your story away. Each one of you have a story to share and it makes me happy to see you guys make your entries. All are a joy to read, and now the OCT's over, you have the choice to continue on the story with as much freedom as you like. Keep making comics, keep doing things that makes you happy! Don't EVER give up!

I'll have prizes ready for June. Good work everyone, lots of people worked really hard very impressed with the quality of storytelling, you gave the judges a hard time.

:iconvertexavenger:

I'm not really sure what to say myself...
besides good game, well fought, hope to see you in the proverbial next time.
I know a lot of people worked really hard and strived to improve during the game, and that's probably the most valuable thing people would have gotten from this. You know, besides :cake::heart::beer::star: friendship :star::beer::heart::cake:
so just keep kickin' ass I guess. Can I say that? I'm saying that.


:iconkid-die:

First of all, I want to congratulate FireCracker to become a winner of the whole tournament and a well done BellsandWhistles for reaching to the final round and tried her best despite have to forfeit at the end. Both of you guys did well on telling your stories and I can't help but be so proud of you guys :'D :sparkles:

Even though being just as a backup judge, I learned some of useful stuff that able to help me on improving my skills as a judge. There have been some ups and downs in here, but it was quite a surprise that we managed to get it to the end, and this all wouldn't happen without your contributions and your help, which we appreciate it and never been grateful enough.

Also I'm sorry if I have make some mistakes in the past that might upset you guys during the tournament, either it was intentional or not. As for those you still doesn't received any critiques from us yet, we will try our best to give you the critique that you have been asking before. Again, I'm sorry if I made any unprofessional acts as a judge before and I will try to be more better next time ;u;

And the end, I would like to thank all you guys for participating this oct and came this far. It was quite fun while it lasted! Getting to read the stories that you made for us and this oct is probably one of the things that I cherished the most about this tournament. I'm glad to even meet you guys.

I wish you good luck and all the best for your future projects, either it's about another oct or some personal projects that you would like to working on. In other words, keep up the great work and best of luck in the future! :star:







Once again, thanks to everyone that has participated in this OCT!

But before we go...

Will there be Season 2?

To be straightforward...

Probably not, but if there is, that won't be for a very, very long time.


For now, it's the end of an era and we'll see you all in the next one.

This is highly interesting, although as much as I’ve always been interested in entering an OCT I’m unsure if I’d even be capable of it. Taking in account of how little time I have these days. In another case this can be good practice and helpful to me and artists.

well, it could be worth a try. Sometimes you can find the time where you least expect it. If you do find time an issue at least you can say you tried :)

Auditions close on February 2nd, all you need to do is make a reference sheet and audition. If you're still not sure what to do, please look over the rules and F.A.Q.

If you want us to extend the deadline, please note the group.
