Wooh, thanks a lot everyone! I've been so busy this month I had forgotten about this!
Since I have won both Water and Earth, I proudly announce myself to be the official Mudcake writter!
I wanted to expand this story a lot more, cover what Mothers and initiate daughters are and all, and in the end I was too pressed for space, but I really enjoyed writing this, so i'm glad to see it was well liked!
It was a tough month for decisions. In the end my votes went to
@Matthew and
@Alex Hormann I liked the earth-bender ideas of one, and the creepiness of the other.
Jmack's story was very well written, but too uniformly grim for me this month, which is fucking rich coming from me, I KNOW.

But good uses of the elements all around. We should keep at it... we've done the basic ones but we could go with lightning/electricity and gravity and vacuum etc!
