Sickness.
It bounds us, it controls us, traps us in its grasp. It battles our immune systems, destroys us from the inside out as our bodies desperately try to fend off the attackers. Sometimes they are weak- coughs and the flu and little things.

There were two writers in Panemdemic who lasted considerably longer than expected of them, managing to pull through to some very impressive placements. Consistently at the bottom of the rankings, these tributes were, at times, thirteen points away from the third lowest competitor, and it was quite the feat to last as long as they did. The Dark Horses of the competition are...
AROMA FASTNER (Spiderstring)
and
BLAZE ORION (iamtheLAWtheREALone)
These tributes lasted an incredibly long time (until Task Five, just before the Quarterfinals) for the scores they received throughout the Games (neither tribute's scores exceeded 8.25). However, you should both be very proud for- unexpectedly- making it so far in the games.

Two prestigious writers in the Author Games Community, it was definitely a disappointment to see these writers both drop out of the Games early on. Though it's understandable that not everyone has the time to juggle author games, it would have been a pleasure to see these dropouts go further, as they certainly had the potential to. This award goes to...
PIMBEP COTTAGE (Task Three) and KALEO MAY (Task Two) (ShayTree)
Runners Up: Ruby Cortese (WhovianHorseLover), a Task One dropout whose author placed first in Literature, and Kaelyn 'Kaylee' Menorr (annlu03), whose author placed third in Literature, and yet was eliminated just before the Quarterfinals.
