<h2>I am very sorry for being late on this.</h2>

<p>Been doing this contest for nearly a year and I've never been this late before so I apologize.</p>
<p>We only had two entries for the November 13th contest.</p>
<p>So here goes:</p>
<p>Five Steem to &nbsp;<a href="https://steemit.com/@jadams2k18"><strong>jadams2k18</strong></a> for <a href="https://steemit.com/twentyfourhourshortstory/@jadams2k18/my-new-fish-twenty-four-hour-short-story-contest">My New Fish</a> which tells the story of Tommy who kept telling a lie. &nbsp;An excellent use of moral fairy tale with this story.</p>
<p>Three Steem to &nbsp;<a href="https://steemit.com/@aiskelzurita"><strong>aiskelzurita</strong></a> &nbsp;for <a href="https://steemit.com/twentyfourhourshortstory/@aiskelzurita/writers-win-five-steem-the-november-13th-twenty-four-hour-short-story-contest-a-little-boy-gets-a-new-fish-for-his-aquarium-that">his entry</a> which tells the touching story of Juan Diego and a connection with his grandfather.</p>
<h2>Announcement about the contest</h2>
<p>For the time being, I need to put the contest on pause. &nbsp;I am currently around 500 Steem Power. &nbsp;For the last four months the contest has been funded by @curie and I am very thankful for their support. &nbsp;</p>
<p>I started the contest about 7-8 months before curie got involved and all the rewards came from my own Steem Power, so this contest has been running for about a year I think. &nbsp;That's very cool.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Yes, the upvotes on the posts helped, but those upvotes never covered the 8-10 Steem I gave out every week. &nbsp;</p>
<h2>So overall the contest has given out nearly 450 Steem.</h2>
<p>So give me sometime to power back up before I restart the contest again.</p>
<p>The contest has allowed me to read some cool stories and meet a lot of other writers here on Steemit and I am very grateful for that.</p>
<p>I want to keep my Steem Power above 500 as much as possible, so I need to pause the contest while I post other things in the near future.</p>
<p>Thanks again everyone</p>
