BEST DAMN FIC AWARDS OF 2008 - WINNERS!

[halfdutch.livejournal.com]

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS of THE BEST DAMN FICS OF 2008! Thank you to everyone who participated. HURRAH! Over 75 authors were nominated and over 840 votes cast for the entire year of 2008, including the year-end awards.

In a slight departure from last year, I've made banners for not only the author of the year but for several other authors who also got a significant amount of votes. [Voting tabulated for the entire year.] Banners for specific fics will be created later, per request.

And now I hand the comm over to hendercats. Thank you to everyone for all your help and input. It's been a pleasure! :)

A million thanks to halfdutch for all the hard work and the lovely graphics, and to her adorable dogs for the moral support they must have provided. I'm blushing furiously, and I promise to make people cry even harder in 2009. ;)

(And, erm, I'll be greedy and request a fic-specific banner.)

Happy New Year to everyone!
