Moderator Post [MODPOST] Best Of WritingPrompts 2018 - Winners
Intro
Hello, /r/WritingPrompts! With reddit doing their annual awards over at /r/bestof2018, I'm happy to announce the chance to win some sweet Reddit... Platinum? With the recent changes to reddit's optional premium tiers. If I've done my math correct, we should be receiving enough Coins to allow us to provide 22 Platinum!
The nomination thread is here for those who want to see it, with voting here. Now it's time for the victors!
We luckily have enough (if my math checks out) to send out the prizes in each tied category, so check them out all below!
