Voting for the second round will begin October 1st.

Remember, nominations for the 2007 UFOs are open and fandom categories need at least three entries to be voted on, so get your favorite stories in there! Also watch those WIPs - once a WIP nominee is complete, it can be nominated again for the regular fandom categories.

Thanks again to everyone who participated in the UFOs. You guys rock.

I'll see you all again when the second round kicks off! ^^

Congratulations, everyone!

(Dejana, why the faces? Just because you *run* the awards doesn't mean you can't win them. )

[Dejana]

I still feel like a heel about it. I almost withdrew myself when I saw how the numbers were falling, in fact, but I decided that wouldn't be fair.

*conflicted!*

[Jose and the Contrarians]

I think you deserved to win - no need to feel badly about it.

[Starsea]

Thanks for voting for me, everyone.

[JP]

Thanks for voting for me, everyone.

For my vote you owe me one new chapter of The Exiles. It does not matter that you were unaware of this deal to begin with.


And yay for "Faith!" I loved all the Firefly ones, really.


Congrats to everyone yay!

[Bunneh of Dhoooom]

It does not matter that you were unaware of this deal to begin with.

Isn't how most of your deals go down?

[JP]

Isn't how most of your deals go down?

Pretty much.

[Dejana]

If anyone wants to see all the fancy badges I made, I stuck them all on a "display case" page:

Heavy graphics warning (duh).

[JP]

......

How did Angel Electric not get an Honorable Mention award? O.o That doesn't even make sense to my brain.

[Jose and the Contrarians]

I like the Katara/Zuko one - very prettiful...now I have to go read that fic!

[Dejana]

......

How did Angel Electric not get an Honorable Mention award? O.o That doesn't even make sense to my brain.

I know. I feel bad.

It'll clean both our clocks in 2007, though, so Chaos will have his revenge.

[JP]

Yeah seriously, just call them the Chaos and Alicia Blade Awards this year.

[JP]

muahah, The AB-C Awards.

[Dejana]

Haha, that is depressingly awesome.

[JP]

Dude....

AB-C-D Awards! Unfortunetly my name doesn't start with an E... I am out of the alphabet club for another 7 letters.

[Jason: A Modern Man]

AB-C-D Awards! Unfortunetly my name doesn't start with an E... I am out of the alphabet club for another 7 letters.

Me, too. *sigh* And who knows when I'll ever finish a story....

[Bunneh of Dhoooom]

Me, too. *sigh* And who knows when I'll ever finish a story....

You will finish The Brooch!  Next year!  Because I will hassle you into submission!  As your beta I demand a chapter a month!

[Jason: A Modern Man]

You will finish The Brooch!  Next year!  Because I will hassle you into submission!  As your beta I demand a chapter a month!

Even if I manage a chapter a month, there aren't enough months in a year for me to complete that story in time for the next UFOs. *sighs*

[JP]

Well good, less competition for me.

[December]

Even if I manage a chapter a month, there aren't enough months in a year for me to complete that story in time for the next UFOs. *sighs*

There is always 2009.

[Bunneh of Dhoooom]

2 chapters a month!  We can do it!  I beleive in Team US!!!

[Jason: A Modern Man]

2 chapters a month!  We can do it!  I beleive in Team US!!!

That might be stretching it quite a bit. Besides, I'm not even sure that would be enough. I've got a lot planned, you know.

[December]

That might be stretching it quite a bit. Besides, I'm not even sure that would be enough. I've got a lot planned, you know.

Like I said, 2009.  Shoot for the 2009 UFOs...based on my guess on where the story currently is, that may still be one to two chapters a month. 

[Bunneh of Dhoooom]

I just really love this story.  So long as you finish it, I don't care and I will beta it until it is done!
