Entrancing Awards 2025 Results!
4 months ago
Thank you everyone for your patience as our team has tallied votes.
Once again, I’m excited to announce that we’ll be awarding four “mod prizes” this year. Mod prizes are either assigned by an individual mod, or voted on collectively.
The Bigger Picture by ChromaticKobold
Artist: PaxtonStranger
Chromatic Kobold’s first longer work, involving a gryphon detective and his rabbit assistant tracking down missing people, is a delight to read. The pacing is excellent, the hypnosis is fun, and the hypnohorny bits land perfectly. An incredibly strong showing from a relatively new author. -Prof Wolf
Rush Week by West
Artist: Pyrite
A story that's as fun as the frat party at its center. It's always delightful seeing a first time author knock it out of the park in style. Treat yourself to a fun romp in ΨΣΑ and give this story a read. -WhatsInAName
Latest and Greatest by DarkEnd
Artist: Goatuna
"Latest and Greatest" has lived rent-free in my head since my first reading. Darkend's tale is charming, engaging, perfectly paced, and ruthlessly, relentlessly hot. Flawless, gold-standard execution of a fun and hot idea. Try it: it'll change your life! -UnstableBill
The Change You Want to See by Sen
Artist: AkiPanda
"The Change You Want To See" appeared time and again in our moderator discussions. Sen's worldbuilding and character work are impressive and delightful, especially given the word limit, and Change provides a wonderfully exciting (and sexy) adventure in just 20,000 words. "The Change You Want To See" is the group moderator winner for 2025.
While we cannot offer prizes to our third place winners, we have included them as honorable mentions here – you should absolutely check out their works!
Short Form Winner: FOXTOY by Limewah
Artist: Pyrite
Short Form Second Prize: Bullieve in Daddy by Daddy Hyperion
Artist: AkiPanda
Short Form Honorable Mention: Mind-Flayed Sleep Aid by AnguisCantus
Long Form Winner: The Mind Game by Aether Breeze (EveningSky)
Artist: Paxton Stranger
Long Form Second Prize: Listening Post by Sheeplike
Artist: Goatuna
Long Form Honorable Mention: Induction Shift by Mattswolf
Note: Limewah's "Surprise Inspection" ranked second in the long-form poll, but as they won a prize in the short form category, they are ineligible for an additional prize.
Artists will reach out to winners within the next week.
As a reminder, you can still read all 51 entries here. As we did last year, we’ll post an update once the prize art is completed.
Thank you everyone for participating, and we look forward to seeing you all next year for the 2026 Entrancing Awards!

Thank you everyone for participating, and we look forward to seeing you all next year for the 2026 Entrancing Awards!
Thanks again for hosting this competition, the standard of writing this year was even higher! Well done everyone 💜
Excited for 2026~
This has been a lot of fun and can't wait for next year.
There were some truly phenomenal works this year, and I'm sure the next contest will be even better!
And a big thank you to all the organizers for putting this wonderful competition on. <3 <3 <3
It’s odd. I initially thought, after seeing the list of submissions and how long it was, that once I reached the end and voted, I’d feel burnt out. Like I worked so hard putting together my story, and going through and reading all these stories which were being compared against mine, would feel like a real bummer. But actually, having reached the end of this competition, having interacted with so many awesome writers and their works, its left me with the exact opposite impression.
There’s so many talented people here! So many interesting ideas were put on display, and so much love was shown by so many of the participants for each other’s work. I feel…honored? Yeah, I feel honored to be here.
Even though I didn’t win, even though I felt the biggest doses of imposter syndrome I’ve ever felt back at the beginning of April, I don’t feel that now, here at the end. I don’t feel disappointed in myself in the slightest. I feel alive. I’ve come out of this competition with an insane idea for next year’s entry. An idea I could’ve never dreamed up before reading some of your works. An idea that I would’ve never thought I’d be tackling because I was so burned after the release of Silly Snake Games. And I have you guys to thank for this feeling.
Your works have impacted me in a way I can’t even describe.
More than I ever have before, I've started to reach out to people. I want to talk to other writers in this community. I want to do more. I need to do more because it feels electric just being in the same space as you guys. I just feel so good about myself right now.
Thank you all so much for this feeling. I can’t wait for next year’s competition. :3
