Hello everyone!

It is rather shocking that it has been nearly two months since we first started this round of the Awards, and I am sure you all eagerly waiting to see who has won what! Firstly thought, I must apologize on behalf of the judges that unfortunately let us down this time. I am sure they had valid reasons, but it has led to this two week delay with posting the results. However, we must also applaud and thank @harryheart and @LightningTopaz for all the extra work they did judging in the areas where we lost judges, as they greatly helped speed things along these last few days.

Before without any further ado, here are our winner

Congratulations to everybody that won! We had a great selection of work this time round, and we were able to get some first time winners in there which is really fantastic to see :D I apologize for the fact it looks a bit dodgy the 'Best' situation, though I assure you that there was no tampering or corruption in anyway! (Besides, if I was really going to rig this thing, I would have gotten Galactic all the Awards years ago :p) And remember, if you look at these results and think 'I can do better!', make sure you get involved next time :D

Banners and the two new badges will be along shortly. Remember that you can request feedback from the judges, though I will be asking them to post some willingly as soon as they can. Thank you everyone for being so patient, and once again thank you to all the amazing judges that did commit and pulled through! Here's hoping our next Awards will be just as grand! :D
 
Wow. Gotta say, it feels great having won an award for the first time. Congratulations to everyone else who also won an award category and BIG congratulations to you, @AceTrainer14;, for winning the big awards :)
 
Woohoo third badge! Next season I will re-enter the fight for Best Journey.

Thanks to all who participated and congratulations to the winners, especially Ace! If there are any actual doubts as to if he really deserves all six those awards, then go read one of his fics. They don't get a lot of readers but are really well done. In fact, go read all of the winners, because they're all really well done.

Also, I think this brings Ace to 7 badges :O A win in Best Dark or Best Pokemon Character will crown him the first champion!
 
Well, looks my only passing category passed me by, but congratulations to the winners nonetheless.
 
I really did not expect to win this time around, so I'm especially happy. Still, it's good to know that I'm capable of writing something that actual people consider to be worth reading. Yay, confidence!
 
Congratulation to all the winners, especially @AetherX; for beating me, you really outdid yourself with Unsong Heroes so while I'm a bit sore you do deserve it a lot more. I got really cocky >_>

Congrats to everyone else that got an award and I hope you all keep writing your fics and do even better next time.
 
Thanks everyone for the congratulations, it feels good after being on these forums for nearly four years now to have received Best Story - something I have long been aiming for, so to receive it feels pretty great :D There were a lot of excellent stories this time round, so I am surprised I managed to get it; the quality of work was very, very high, with a lot of beautifully written pieces that were a pleasure to read. Everyone that won deserved their titles, so congratulations everyone! I would especially love to see more people getting involved next time!

If anyone notices any inaccuracies here, please let me know, especially if there has been a name change that has led to a double up of mentions on the list.
 
I'd like to say a big congratulations to everyone who won and everyone who was nominated as well! It's not easy to put your work out there to be read and judged by people in the first place, so that's kind of like fulfilling in itself. Despite there only being one winner, so many stories were so good, it was a really close call (in my category at least).
 
Meh, guess I didn't have what it takes. Congrats to the winners, as I said before.
 
The winners banners have now been uploaded, and thanks to harryheart for creating them. The new badges should be done soon.
 
And now our new badges, the Pikachu Badge and the Quote Badge, have been uploaded! This marks the end of all proceedings for these Awards - thank you to those that took part and those that helped judge, and congrats to all the winners once again!
