Summary Report | SLC S26 Week- 6 | Two Timing
Hello, my dear fellow Steemians,
I welcome you to the final weekly report of the "Steemit Learning Challenge Season 26 Week-6,". This was sixth and the final week of the challenge, and as expected, this week I received satisfactory number of posts.
The number of posts this week was on the expected lines since I was the only contest that offered a chance to creative writers to express their views. I guess we could have received more entries but barring a few all the entries came from genuine writers. A few users tried to game the system but I did not let them succeed in their plans. I set a criteria throughout this contest and I did not buzz an inch from that.
This week's prompt was again a tricky one as I wanted to test how many users come good to the prompt's basic needs. I must say most were close but a few strayed too far. I know no one opens up easily on such a line of story that demanded a different openness even if it's a fictional one. There were too few that did justice but thankfully all went well.
Participation Statistics
I received a total 48 entries, and all of them were valid even if a few of them strayed from the basics. As has been the case throughout this contest, most participants used various forms for getting the ideas including use of AI but fortunately we did not see much use of AI barring a few but we gave them benefit of doubt deducting their points.
However, no one of them challenged us because we kept our records ready just in case. I am sorry for one entry that came after the dead line but rules are rules so it was not counted.
We used our analytic assessment/tools and our common sense including participants previous posts for references as we did in the previous weeks.

I am thankful to @waqarahmadshah who helped me throughout this contest with his able assistance, so it helped me a lot checking the posts based on set criteria of content, story, originality, formatting, presentation, uniqueness, and, of course, our observation. We, received no protests based on word limits imposed because we consider it another test of the contestants.
Finally, I had to 6 select winners of the week from as once again there was tie between 6 for the last one places so I had to select one "In" by using spin wheel:

Summary of the winners
Post-1
He thought of his wife’s voice, the way she still asked about his safety like it was the first time he traveled alone. He thought of her trust, simple and unguarded, the kind of trust you don’t notice until it trembles. And then there was Tina, youthful and curious, her eyes like small fires — a spark that had tugged at him for three straight hours.
His breath stalled in his chest. Tina stood a few steps in front, waiting for her bag. She looked over her shoulder and smiled, sharper now, as though she already knew the weight she’d slipped into his hand.
Post- 2
Estaría una semana lejos de casa; un número telefónico escrito a bolígrafo junto a la palabra “llámame”, fue lo que leyó en la tarjeta que ella le obsequió antes de despedirse. «Después de todo mi estancia en Canberra no tiene por qué ser aburrida», pensó. «Es hermosa, joven y con grandes atributos, ¿Que más podría pedir?» sonrió recordando su bella sonrisa.
Post-3
Más tarde mientras cenaba, la imagen de Tina se enclavaba en sus pensamientos, su rostro terso y larga cabellera de suaves rizos, adornaban sus ojos verdes claros y labios carnosos que incitaban naturalmente a sucumbir la mirada de John en su contorneada y esbelta figura. Tina representaba la Venus de su fantasía.

Al salir, lo esperaba el chofer de la empresa para llevarlo a la reunión. Al llegar a la oficina, Patricia le da parte de los pendientes en su agenda, señala que todo está listo para la reunión con los nuevos inversionistas en la sala de juntas. Le informa que en la noche debe asistir a un brindis en casa del Alcalde.

Me encantaría y mientras caminaban por toda Camberra, se sentían como en una historia colorida, el sol brillando para ellos y las ojas doradas de los árboles cayendo mágicamente. Jhon disfrutaba el momento aunque por ratos todo lo colorido se volvía blanco y negro con el recuerdo de su esposa, Tina con su sonrisa lo volvía a colorear todo.

Continuaron platicando por unos minutos, pero John, quien ya había decidido evitar cualquier desliz amatorio con la chica, apenas percibió la primera insinuación, se disculpó porque debía ausentarse, ya que tenía algo urgente que hacer esa noche para sus obligaciones laborales del siguiente día.

Un gran saludo a todos los participantes y sobre todo felicitaciones a los ganadores.
Gracias por seleccionar mi trabajo entre los más destacados.
Ciertamente, fue la única oferta de creatividad en escritura, lo que pudo haber generado más entradas. Debemos recatar más la escritura creativa, muchos autores de gran valía en la plataforma, seguro que en las siguientes podrán participar.
Saludos
