some rise by sin by @kintsugi

Congratulations to all our winners! It was a lot of fun judging these awards, and we are already discussing what to do next time to ensure the biggest amount of people possible can enjoy it as well.

Judges will soon be posting their reviews. If they have not given you feedback within two weeks, either let me know or harass them yourself: the judges from each category are listed next to the category name. Banners are coming soon, and we are working on recovering the badges from the old forums. Hopefully we'll get both sorted next month. And look out for Fic of the Month in February for the some rise by sin interview, the first story in our revised style.

Thanks to all who nominated, voted and took part in whatever way. I hope we see all of you and more again in June.

And curses! Defeated by my own beta! Kidding, actually, I can hardly complain about the result

I saw the votes coming in, but I'm still a little surprised I ended up taking home the best contributor award. I barely contribute!

Your presence is contribution enough.

How hammy.

Congrats to Kimberly for the biggest jump, while a huge round of applause for kintsugi, who is now only one off joining me as a Champion.

 

[0bs1d1an_kn1ght]

May I suggest: next time the rewards come around, we send our votes through pm and only reply to the thread with "voted", that way it makes the results that much more exciting?

 

[CynthiaLover]

Congrats to all the winners! ^_^

 

[LightningTopaz]

Yes--a big well done to everyone!

 

[Jimmy 3 People 0]

Congratulations, everyone! Maybe next time I'll actually ENTER SOMETHING-

 

[Life]

Well this is rather surprising! Wasn't expecting the results to come out for a good bit longer.

Nonetheless, congrats everyone, and kudos to the judges for helping out!

 

[Sike Saner]

Congratulations!

Ok you automatically win Best Winners' Thread Response for that gif. Congrats.

Congrats to all the winners of the already-officially-recognized awards, too1

Seriously chuffed. Five and a half years of hard work finally paying off! Now to wait for the banners so that I can make a joke that's been as long in the making.

Congratulations to all of the winners! My reviews should be out before long (I read everything in Alternate). And a few of you that I didn't judge can expect reviews as well :0

And curses! Defeated by my own beta! Kidding, actually, I can hardly complain about the result

huehuehuehue finally the payoff of my master plan to sabotage The Long Walk by convincing you to remove all of the sex scenes!

Seriously though, if it weren't for your feedback I'd... well... I'd be a much worse writer. Thanks so much!

 

[0bs1d1an_kn1ght]

So when is the next awards gonna be?

 

[Lord Kyuubi]

Seeing the awards announced always makes me feel like celebrating. Congratulations everyone! You're all amazing!

So when is the next awards gonna be?

Wow, you're eager. I do believe they're in Summer. Gives us plenty of time to get lots and lots of lovely writing done.

started from the bottom now we're here

I honestly don't have much else to say. Gentlemen, it was a surprise and an honor.
