Thank you for the great entries! There were a lot of interesting twists and ideas in there, and with all the high-quality entries it was hard to decide which stood out the most, but I would like to congratulate @DragonCobolt for their engaging, fantastical (and risque) piece about an idiot couple (and one very amused onlooker who was enjoying sampling the goods), as well as @slybrarian for a very silly and funny subversion of a vintage sci-fi cliche. @Stilling 's entry took a rather different tack, with a rather melancholy tone, but I also enjoyed it in it's own way, so I would also like to give them a shout-out for that reason.

As mentioned, the special mentions will get 3 months of gold subscription, and everyone else who participated will receive a month of silver subscription.
