I feel so very honoured to win this award, Brian, my first ever top spot. The 🌙 and the ✨ have truly aligned (and I love your rhyming baking metaphor 😛). This recognition is such a welcome boost to the year-long serialisation I've been planning for months. Rest assured, the latest INGRESSION chapter will be out later today!
Very many congratulations are also due to fellow winners Dan and Isha. Serials demand next-level courage, commitment and coordination from their writers. I've learnt a great deal from the Substack pioneers. Anyone embarking on one deserves a medal.
Finally, I encourage everyone to read the stories which the Lunar Awards highlight through Brian's fantastic efforts. Because of him, we are all winners of the written riches to be found on this thriving satellite of speculation.
Wow! Thanks for the honorable mention Brian - I know it takes you a lot of time to read through all the submissions and I appreciate the thoughtful effort you put into it (and the short story awards on top of it!)
Congratulations to Johnathan - we all work hard at this craft and it's nice to get some recognition for the endless hours.
🤩 Great choice, Brian! And thanks for introducing us to some of the amazing series going on here on Substack! 👏
Johnathan, congratulations 🥂! This is a well-deserved win! 🙌
Thank you so much, Claudia. You set a great example and your long-term support and encouragement of my writing means a great deal to me.
Likewise! 🙌
Congratulations Johnathan!
Thank you, Cameron - and especially for subscribing to my debut serial. I write my novels with a cornucopia of media in mind!
A cornucopia of media is a great way to work!!
Congrats Johnathan!
Thank you very much, Patricia.

Excellent work! Now all of your honorable mentions won't feel so lonely. 😂
Thank you also for the kind words. I've enjoyed seeing how the awards connect writers and readers. There's a lot of great fiction here!
If at first you don't succeed... 😊
Thanks for the honorable mention Brian. I appreciate the time and efforts you put in for this.
Great job, Isha! That Inspector has his work cut out for him. 😉
At least, Balu will help him.
Congratulations to Jonathan and thanks for the mention. There is some good stuff in here I'll definitely be checking out.
Thanks, Alex. Definitely feels like a V1 and rotate moment!
