muwhahahaha I know who the winner is.... and Im not telling..
Ow, who kicked me?
Pfft fine then....
Just to repeat everconfused, all of the critics have loved reading your stories its a shame that this was only a short contest but you guys have far supassed any expectations I had, unfortunately there can be only one winner.
So on to the reviews...
Don't be my Valentine II - Twizzler0171
You managed to keep in the same style of the original story and it was great fun to read! There was alot of humour injected into the story and as always your writing was lovely. There was a little confusion in places, particularly about how the bunnies came back into power. But nonetheless a fantastic read. Great job!
We liked: The way the story flowed and continued on from the original. We loved your humour, it was a very funny story, just like the original!
You should work on: Making sure you have cleared up any plot changes, some of the story was confusing and we had to work out where the characters were and what was happening.
Ratings:
everconfused - 8/10
Qanda - 8/10
livin_in_the_shadow - 9/10
o_0 - 10/10
warxelo - 9/10
xjox -9/10
Total - 53/60
Awake and Alone - watericesage
Great job. A great spooky story that carries on from the original. You managed to split the critics right down the middle though as some of us liked the 'dream within a dream' and some didn't! However, we all agreed that it was a wonderfully written story.
We liked: Your writing, as always it was very professionally done and had us shaking in our boots! Your descriptions were apt and over all it was a fantastic read.
You should work on: Your side characters, we don't really know anything about Peter and he wasn't in the original. So perhaps a paragraph telling us a little more about him would have been nice.

Well, I told you! Ah, ah, ah... crud. I told you... something. Sometime. Wha? Huh? Where? ^.^;
I enjoyed this a lot, and I had a lot of fun! I hope you can do this again sometime, Jo! Perhaps in the summer...? When everyone isn't as busy...? I dunno.
And I'd better set up a trade before I get poked. Aaah! =o

Same with me. But, if you start it the week my exams begin and end (23rd May), I will keel you.
Even in the build-up, I guess, need to work 'n' all that. XD

Big 
to everyone! I meant what I said in my earlier post. You all are truly winners to me. I felt honored to be able to read your stories. Having to critique and definitely having to rate was so incredibly difficult, as you all have different styles and I enjoyed them all so much.
Thank you xjox for allowing me to be a part of this!
Curtsies to all and slowly backs out of the room.

Congratulations to Twizzler for being the winner of GSET! Also, congratulations and a commendation goes to watericesage for getting into the top two.
I'm so glad to have been able to participate. I'd love to participate in another GSET. With the minor problem of exams until the end of June, I'll probably have to drop out midway again, but oh well -- it's such fun. ^_^
