Back from the Grave: Winners of 'SMS Set 9: Stranded!

After a lengthy period of a way-too-quiet 'SMS thread, I finally got around to posting the results for Set 9! We had a fairly low turnout for this round - only six entries total. Despite how few entries there were, there definitely was no lack of talent and awesomeness.

A newcomer to the competition, KymB96, took first place for her entry in the Non-Hair Editing Category. She paid amazing attention to detail by adding in subtle things like the dirt on Lynx and Ailios's feet and knees, and the mascara running down Lynx's cheeks. Her story was mysterious, gripping my attention. Congrats Kym, hope to see you participating again!

With the results of this Set, Simanims has become the first competitor in 'SMS history to win three rounds!! She got a little special recognition for that with the golden (3). I think I'll be adding this as a new feature to the competition for anyone who wins more than one set. Nims's photo was so striking and well-done; I'm still competely blown away by it. Everything flows together perfectly from the beautiful combination of the white eyes, black hair, and pale green skin to the impressive clothing that I still can't figure out. Great job Simanims!

And, of course, here's a shout-out to those other four competitors!
