As for the process of judging, I chose a rather methodical approach with spreadsheet and everything. Just to be sure I don't miss something. Should you have any questions in regards to my decision making, feel free to ask.

Great work. Judging can't have been easy!
Thanks @josie2214, and congrats to the winners! This was a very fun project for me, and gave me a chance to write something longer! Much thanks!
Congrats to the other winners and good work to all who entered.Wow, great job hosting this Josie and congrats to @negativer for taking away the big cheese!
Congrats to the winners! And sorry for not taking part in this, the IRL circumstances I've had kind of took me away from this.
More importantly - did you get your love epicness from this contest? Did the stories provide you with that deliciousness you were looking for? :)
Wow. I didn't even think I was close to winning. I'm so excited. There were so many many epic stories I read here and they were way over the top. Thank you @josie2214 for considering my entry. You just made my week. I feel powered up already😊😊😊 thanks so much.
Congrats to all the winners. 😘
What a great contest! I like your methodical approach, @josie2214. Did you enjoy running it? Do you think you'll do more like this? Congratulations, winners!
Congrats to all the winners! And thank you for this opportunity, Josie. It's been very difficult. I had one other story all written and then I decided it wasn't epic. It's so much fun thinking about this for a while, and in the end coming up with something I'm actually very proud of. The writer-workshop at #thewritersblock had been focussing on deep POV, so I decided to give myself an extra workout on this one.
And to add to some of the other questions... could you let us know what makes something 'epic', for you at least? This question has been bugging me for weeks now!
Thank you @josie2214! It's a great feeling to see Dorothy's story as a runner up! Congrats to @negativer, @nobyeni and @thot2word as well! :)
Congratulations to the winners! I was kinda bummed out that I couldn't resteem the post even if I'd wanted to - Steemit wouldn't let me resteem the post for some reason. Would love to receive some honest feedback about my submission, nevertheless!
