Congratulations to our final 2 participants for completing their drabbles and many thanks to everyone who read, voted, and commented this week! Without you, AELDWS wouldn’t be possible and the fandom would not thrive!

It was a hard-fought battle, but the winner of AELDWS 2021 is…

@vex-verlain with their drabble ‘Are We the Monsters at the Heart of the Labyrinth?’!!!!!!!

Congratulations also to @oceans-foundfamily, who wrote ‘All Things Magical and Mythological’, for their participation and all the hard work they put in.

This week, First Place goes to @oceans-foundfamily, who wrote “The Gentleman’s Guide to Avoiding Conflict”.
