o.o Raikou won two character awards? And came in second for Best One-Shot? Wow, I go a year or two without winning a single thing to suddenly having a character who just takes the cake. Even if it's a lie, that's really something for a dying legendary.
Particular congratulatory shout-outs go to purple_drake for beating the thunder beast (if you're going to win anything, it might as well be Best Pokémon One-Shot), elyvorg whose fic I know is great even though I'm just twenty chapters behind (I will review you someday ><, also Archopy), the often under-appreciated Silawen and deserving Sike, Bay, and of course Dragonfree for hosting these awards and doing such a neat, elegant job (very sexily, might I add).
I don't know the rest of you too well, but congrats to all the winners and nominees, and anyone who wrote any fic at all over the course of 2008. Better luck to you in the future, and just keep working at it - practice, and you're sure to improve. ^^
