SCI-FI WINNER: CrettaBlair
Book: 15 days to save a life
Status: ongoing; 17 chapters
Description: Dying is often hard to come to terms with, but coming back from the dead is even harder. When a girl who can't even remember her name wakes up on a surgery table and discovers that she's been resurrected from the dead through experimental surgery, all she wants to do is die and set things right. Still, there's a problem with that plan: they'll just bring her back again.
There's only one way to stop it, by becoming the prime minister and making resurrection experiments illegal. Luckily, there's a missing girl from an influential family, Holo Reece, who just happens to have the same face as the girl. All she has to do now is take her place and hope the real Holo doesn't return.
Of course, the fact that the world's most wanted criminal is trying to kill her doesn't exactly sweeten the situation, but as long as he doesn't discover her real identity, the two could even become friends, or maybe something more.

ROMANCE WINNER: Winnie_loves_honey
Book: 4.1
Status: ongoing; 10 chapters (6 excluding extras)
Description: Grace Poon Au-Yong wants one thing and one thing only - success. Okay, maybe more than one thing since success is subjective and comes in many forms. But that's not the point. The point is, Grace has to be a success which comes from having the highest GPA, getting the internships and club executive leadership positions, earning scholarships, and having an all-around stacked resume. Not a big deal, right? She has supportive parents, and by supportive, I mean a constant pressure to gain and maintain said success. According to them, anything less than a 4.0 is a failure, and rightfully so.
Grace, despite her constant hard work and dedication to the craft of success, was never quite able to achieve her parents' apparently modest standards in high school. Now that she's entering university, will she be able to rise to the challenge and make them proud of her? Or will she crumble under the pressure and fail, again?

On planet Zeon, everyone of Zeonian descent is supposed to unlock an elemental ability by the time high school begins. As if she couldn't be any more different, rumours suddenly begin circulating around school that Seej's mother stole something more valuable than even wealth. When Seej finds out that rumour is actually true, and that even her father can't tell her what happened to her mother, she knows she has to do something. What begins as a daring break-in into a restricted facility to find out what happened to her mother ends up as Seej and Zamie's kidnapping by the most notorious and dangerous group of rebels in the nation. While Iyaz is stuck at the Imperial Palace serving his sentence for breaking into the facility with Seej and Zamie, it's also up to him to somehow rescue the two girls. Meanwhile, Seej and Zamie discover horrifying secrets during their time in captivity with the rebels, and realize that they're actually part of something much, much bigger than just a simple matter of burglary. And before they know it, the responsibility of keeping an object of power away from the wrong people comes directly on their shoulders.
And if they fail, their nation will fall into chaos.
