Funniest Scene

Writers, not knowing what to do, ran around like roosters with their heads chopped off, spewing random nonsense about tiaras, chicken flavoured dishwashers, Nicholas Cage, “THAT'S MR. PSYCHIC!”, and other ridiculous-sounding things in the hopes of being funny and bringing laughter in their last moments. Indeed, each writer was laughing hysterically, but of course only at their own “jokes.” Everything else they heard was a bombardment of random, incomprehensible nonsense. Thankfully, the red light took them out of their confusion swiftly and silently, but for one unfortunate farting sound.

“What did you do to him?” asked Cheren, narrowing his eyes. “And what are you?”

“We are the Shadow Triad,” said the lead man. “We can do certain things.”

“No sh*t,” said Halley. “What exactly is it that you did?”

“I took him somewhere,” said the man on the left – the one who'd grabbed Ezra. “Forget that. He will be back eventually.”

“We have been sent here for you, Jared Black,” said the leader. “We were to take you from Zinzolin.”

“Who sent you, then?” asked Cheren, but I already knew the answer to that.

“N,” I said. “What does he want? He said we weren't going to meet—”

“The situation has changed,” said the leader. “You found his birthplace.”

That shut me up. That did change things – quite a lot, actually.

“How did he know?” asked Cheren. “That doesn't make any sense, unless he's watching somehow.”

“Cheren, it's N,” said Bianca, as if it were obvious – and it was, to anyone less logical than Cheren. “He felt it.”

“I don't see how—”

Bianca shook her head.

“Never mind,” she sighed.

“I can't help but think we're wandering a little far from the f*cking point,” said Halley. “Magical teleporting ninjas, anyone?”

Something was blocking his scans! It left him with a shiver that wasn't from the wind. He could only compare it to a black hole where there was usually sunshine. He'd never felt anything like that before, and he didn't like it one bit. “Jade....I sense something. I mean, I don't, but I...!”

Jade nodded slowly, scanning the trees for the source. “Its like a shadow. A darkness...and its getting closer. I have a bad feeling...a very bad feeling, Jake...!”

Jake was genuinely afraid now. It took a lot to upset Jade, in spite of his tendency to whine and complain about everything. As Jake was contemplating simply running away in the opposite direction, a shape suddenly charged forward! Jake only had the time to scream before it emerged.

It was a Lillipup.

Most Frightening Scene

Zero

June 30, 1908. In the dim hours of that morning, a meteorite exploded over Siberian Russia. Modern scientists estimate that the energy had been equal to that of a thermonuclear bomb. Witnesses described it as a flash of blue light almost as brilliant as the sun. The shockwaves alone were enough to flatten over seven hundred square miles of forest. And the object itself? The size of two school buses end to end. Scientists called this the Tunguska event.

In order to picture what a meteor the size of one school bus could do, the logical action would be to divide everything by half. Take three hundred square miles of forest out of the Tunguska event. Dim the brilliant, blue light of the meteorite until it becomes a star half as bright as the sun. Imagine that the resulting air burst releases the energy equivalent to five hundred nuclear bombs instead of one thousand.

On September 27, 2000, almost one hundred years after the Tunguska event, that was exactly how scientists described the bus-sized meteor heading directly towards Earth.

The meteor in question was dubbed 2000 SE, and it came without warning. That in itself would have been unusual. There was astronomical equipment all over the world, and not one of them spotted an object of that size until it was almost as close as the moon. But that wasn’t what grabbed the media’s attention. What did was the fact that it was heading directly towards Earth, and with its speed, researchers estimated that it would reach the planet in four days. More specifically, it was heading to a point just outside of Fortree City.

Hoenn’s regional government had never staged a full-scale evacuation of an entire city. Despite monsoons and the activity of two weather-altering legendaries, the region was never threatened significantly enough to warrant an evacuation of that magnitude. But it had to be done. Certainly, Fortree had survived far more earthquakes, storms, and general natural disasters than it should have, what with it being a city built entirely in the treetops, but the Japanese parliament wasn’t going to assume that it would survive a meteor strike that close to its borders. So over the course of three days—the three days before 2000 SE would pass through the Earth’s atmosphere—the entire city of Fortree took what it could and left.

On the fourth night, it turned out that the government was correct in their decision. Fortree was doomed.

It rained fire the night 2000 SE exploded, and the blasts emanating from its shattering masked the cracking of the forest that held the city aloft. Had anyone been in the city, they would never hear the screaming of the wood supports splintering. They would never hear the boom of their homes falling. They would never hear the crashing of glass or the screeching of bending metal. Not while the air resonated with the blast of the meteorite, anyway. Only when the resonance of the explosion died down, and only when the skies fell silent, did the last shrieks of the falling city echo through the night air.

And then, there was silence.

Outside of the city, beyond the red-hot craters that the meteorites carved out for themselves, there were two listeners. The first was an absol who stood guard at the Ancient Tomb with his red eyes to the sky. His pack had already been gone for days. Many of them had been part of the pokémon exodus that started almost a week ago, long before the humans knew 2000 SE existed. Others stayed and tried to warn the humans, and this party departed after Fortree was finally evacuated. All that was left was the single absol, who had, up until the explosion, kept his red eyes to the sky and his teeth bared in a constant, low growl.

It was because he knew something else was going to happen. He could feel the cold, familiar weight of his premonitions in his bones, but for the life of him, he couldn’t see what he was meant to warn the humans about. And then, when the star exploded and sent a shockwave of trembling earth and hot wind across the route, the absol braced himself against the tomb’s rocky walls and gritted his teeth. The feeling in his bones grew heavier with each passing second until it reached a peak the moment the hot winds died down. His paws scrambled over the loose earth, and he raced down the hillside towards the craters. In his mind, his visions began to resolve, and all he could see was red.

The ground grew hotter as he drew closer to one of the impact craters, but he couldn’t stop. His entire body was focused completely on that cold, heavy feeling deep inside him—the feeling of his supernatural senses vibrating with his last vision. Any moment now, he would know. He would know exactly what message he needed to deliver.

Suddenly, the ground almost ended beneath him, giving way to the red edge of a crater. He stopped, staring deep into the pit at the rock that sat at its heart. His muzzle snapped in frantic barks, and he paced along the rim. All the while, he steadied his eyes on the glowing, red surface of the meteorite. Every pit in its face, every imperfection in the stone made the feeling deep inside the absol grow until it filled his entire being. Something wasn’t right. Something was about to happen. Something terrible was about to be born.

Then, he saw what he came to see. His paws froze, and his mouth shut.

A crack laced up the side of the meteor. At first, it was only an inch wide by a foot long, but then, it grew until it resembled a gaping smile turned sideways. The longer the absol stared at it, the more he realized that the glow was not coming from the surface of the rock but rather from within it, pulsing with every passing second like a heartbeat. This, the absol knew, was exactly what he was supposed to foresee. His lips puckered, and in that pause, he emitted a short, high-pitched whine.

That was when the meteorite cracked completely open and released the sea of red light. It rushed up the side of the crater before the absol could discern what it was, and within seconds, it washed over him.

Miles away, the absol’s pained howling echoed through the air, and the second listener raised her head.

Her name was Phoebe, and she had just completed two weeks of training atop Mt. Pyre. Now, she was descending the mountain for supplies. She had no idea that the absol’s howl was a warning.

That night, a war erupted because of her.

Just as the digital clock turned to read 11:00, I heard a light, but sure sound of something tapping on glass. I turned my head, and was amazed to see that, right there on my windowsill, was the little rare Pokémon that I met at the park! I laid there staring at it for a moment; just making sure it was real. A small purple flame burned above it; bathing the glass in a pale glow; it looked just like a candle. The Pokémon continued to tap my window, looking at me endearingly with its button-like yellow eyes. As fast as I could, I got out of bed and opened the window.

“I didn’t know you knew where I lived,” I said weakly, but happily.

The small, candle-like Pokémon hopped in my room, and squeaked in delight.

“It’s nice to see you again… oh? You brought friends?” I watched as the Pokémon made a signal to the empty night outside, and one by one more of the same Pokémon appeared on my windowsill. They all hopped into my room, lighting it up with their pale, purple fires. My head was really hurting; the fever was really making me feel miserable. I tiredly made my way back to the bed, feeling more and more fatigued with each step. I really did need to rest…

The Pokémon followed, hopping along onto the desk next to my bed. The other five or six of them did the same thing, all gathering around on opposite sides of my bed.

“Oh, man… if I had my ball I could’ve caught you…” I said, remembering what I wanted to do earlier. The candle Pokémon didn’t seem to mind what I said, and continued to watch me with their button-like yellow eyes.

“Mommy doesn’t like Pokémon,” I continued to talk to them, “thinks they’re dangerous, even though all of my friends have one…”

The candle Pokémon were paying close attention to me, and the flames on top of their heads grew even brighter. As the room got brighter, it began to spin, and the misery of my fever began to disappear…

“I think she’s silly,” I said, losing my breath. I was struggling to keep my voice steady, “I mean… just because… you can sometimes get burned or shocked… doesn’t mean they’re dangerous, right?”

The rest of the room was just a hazy blur now… but the lights of the Pokémon remained. Glowing brightly, they were like guideposts to the growing darkness. Underneath the blankets, I felt my bones protruding. My arms and legs were shriveling, while my skin pulled back on my ribs. It pulled back on my face too; I felt the walls of my cheeks get thinner and thinner...

I felt comfortable. Or maybe I didn’t… but I didn’t mind, because my entire body felt distant. All the pain of the fever was gone now, for some reason I felt free…

The darkness around me was thick and vague, growing darker and darker as the lights that broke it grew brighter. And then it fell back, all to one large, distant light. It was like the light of the candles, but flared even brighter, and it beckoned me to come. All my feelings were detached now; the only thing I knew now was that I had to go to it- this one final light. I rose up slowly… a feeling of peace as I drifted towards it. Drawing closer and closer… until I became engulfed in-

He stopped short once more. This time, it was because he wasn’t alone. In the doorway, a single person stood. A girl, actually—one no older than eleven. Her wide, dark eyes settled on Bill, and her face blanched. Bill shook at that point. He knew her. He knew this girl. He knew that the short, green hair was the exact color of her mother’s. He knew that the flower hair clips she wore to keep her bangs out of her face were given to her by her sister. He knew that the shade of pink that her shorts were happened to be her exact favorite color and that her boots were considered fashionable in her hometown. And he knew that she always wore Hello Skitty merchandise like her hooded sweatshirt because she adored those cartoons, even if she recently tried to insist that she was too old for them. He even knew that she was here because she wanted to go to Hoenn since she was eight, after she saw her first contest on television.

And he knew all of this because he watched her grow up. Because he bought her those boots for Christmas. Because he sometimes watched Hello Skitty cartoons with her when he was bored. Because her sister wouldn’t stop rubbing in the fact that she got those hair clips for the birthday that he missed. Because one time, he let her choose that shade of pink for one of the wallpapers for the storage system.

Because her mother was his.

“Raye?” he whispered.

“I need to go back,” I say to Mother. “I must.”

She sighs wearily. “How many times do I have to tell you? People are no good for you. They pull you out from the wild without a second thought! They don’t listen! Why else do you think I’m not keeping my promise to that excuse for a trainer?” She frowns as she recalls whatever she doesn’t want to think about any more or tell me about.

I shake my head. “Not true. Some may, but not everyone. Not Sally. And I fear that if I don’t go then something bad will happen.”

“Something bad?” she queries suddenly. “Well, that should be none of your concern.”

“What do you mean?” I say back quietly.

“Why, you think you can change the future now?” she says coldly.



“Again? And there’s not much left,” the doctor pointed out as Sam scrolled down.

The dead silence between Matt and all the others besides Avril gave Olivia a strange chill.

Still more silence.

To the person who will take my heart when I die and the doctors see that I’m an organ donor—

Treat it nicely. It’s fragile. It has lists upon lists of views it wants to see, sounds it wants to hear. It doesn’t let you hold your breath for too long, lest you should die sooner than expected. It doesn’t contain as much blood as you would like it to. Your ribcage can never be small enough to hold it, so expand its consciousness, in and out, and your ribcage will be filled. Let your senses exhaust you to the brim, and follow the premonitions given to you—you’ll never regret it. Don’t let any other organ suffer from your musings and tears. Most nights, you’ll need to cross your arms and strap yourself down. Please don’t try to fix the extra red and black stitching on the surface; they were made by my pokémon in the midst of their honest curiosity. Blue eyes, messy black hair, skinny frame… The heart knows only those things, but it will accept you anyway. Know that I’m sorry—I tried my best for you. And remember to feel real.

Sincerely,
Sai Luart

An indigo blur erupted from the foliage, snapping branches and ripping vines. It flew, somersaulted and then stopped, floating above the tablet. It tilted its head; a large white bulbous protrusion came from its crown. Huge dark pupils examined Sarah as it levitated, legs crossed.

There was no time for hesitation, Sarah tore forward, clapping her palms on each side of the Pokemon’s head. It reeled back, landing on its feet. The Fake Out technique momentarily stunned the fighting and psychic type Pokemon. It regained its composure and raised its guard.

Kakari looked over at Denny, who was supremely jealous. Meditite is the pre-evolution of Medicham, his dream partner Pokemon.

Both fighters rushed forward, arms and legs colliding in a series of flurries. Open handed strikes and blocks rang out through the clearing. Meditite’s small blue limbs moved quickly. Sarah was beginning to tire, she shuffled back, breaking the confrontation. Meditite sensed the weakness and capitalised, attacking even more furiously than before.

She’s very good. Her circular blocks conserve energy but the Meditite has incredible endurance. She reminds me of someone.

The Pokemon drove Sarah back, step by step, closer to the edge with its onslaught of blows. A stray spinning kick caught her chin, jerking her head around. A smear of blood defiled the tablet. For a moment, it looked as though she was knocked out. The Meditite paused. It stopped attacking and watched the girl descend.

Sarah’s eyes snapped open.

Realising it had been fooled, the Meditite hastily prepared another kick, but Sarah had a plan. She bent both of her knees, took a deep breath and hooked an arm between the Pokemon’s legs. With an exhalation and a grunt she threw the Pokemon, overhead. Meditite landed hard sprawled a few metres away.

“Nice throw…” Denny admitted, getting excited by the contest.

Sensei watched, but wasn’t enthused like Denny.

If you’re so disinterested, why train Senshi? Wait a minute. . .

The Meditite clambered up, Sarah was attacking again, using circular kicks and punches. Now it was Meditite who was on the back foot, always having to block, weave and duck. The Pokemon was getting angry, its eyes glowed bright blue.

A strange force paralysed Sarah’s body, leaving her frozen in mid-kick, her leg awkwardly hanging in the air. The Meditite drew its hand back and struck with a snappy Force Palm that cracked the air. The girl gasped as she was ripped from the psychic bonds and tossed backward, winded by the technique.

The girl wasn’t one to give up. The Meditite charged, a purple aura floating around its hand. It slashed at the defenceless girl, the Psycho Cut forced her bouncing along the tablet until her torso was hanging off the side. She opened her eyes, looking up at the smirking Pokemon approaching. Meditite was ready to finish the fight.

“Get up!” Sensei yelled, suddenly engrossed in the action, “What are you prepared to give for your partner!?”

The girl scrambled to her feet, her entire body heaving. The Meditite jumped, and bent its front knee, preparing for a High Jump Kick. Sarah, tucked her head in and clenched all of her muscles tightly. A faint white light coated her body at the moment of impact. The Meditite slipped around the barrier, landing awkwardly in a pile of leaves. Sarah glanced down at her defeated opponent and breathed a sigh of relief.

Protect! That’s an incredibly difficult technique! Who is this girl?

Sarah had done it; she had secured her partner Pokemon.

Jay grumbled something about “stupid dungeon Pokémon” as Leo clasped his outstretched paw and helped his leader to his feet. The Riolu seemed no worse for the wear. A few cuts were visible through his blue fur, the once bright azure color dulled with ground-in dust and blood, but he looked like he was functioning properly.

“What the hell was that?” Jay said with a cough. Leo didn’t know how to answer him. He didn’t rightly know how to explain the string of events that had transpired in the last few moments. “Is everyone okay?” Jay inquired, brushing himself off as the Riolu blinked in the blue sunlight.

“I think so,” Leo replied. Looking around, he saw Noah getting up from the crater he had hunkered down in during the assault of the music, Jay was still getting oriented with his feet and limbs, and the monster was nowhere in sight. She had vanished. Though, there was something missing from this scene of aftermath.

“Kelly?” Leo blurted out when he did not see the yellow and white furred Jolteon at all. Jay ceased his complaints as he found he could not find his friend as well. “Kelly? Kelly!” Leo yelled with increasing volume as he took a few steps in each direction looking for his teammate.

There was no sign of the Jolteon, despite her being literally a foot away from him before the Froslass’s song. Both he and Jay fell dead silent as they tried to listen for any sound from her, though only the canyon walls screeched as wind tore through them, making his tail flame flicker. His blood turned to ice once again as the demented dungeon seemed to mock him, tempting him to venture deeper in search of his friend.

“Kelly!” Leo screamed to the passage, his voice straining as sheer panic took over. It was then that Noah jogged up beside both Pokémon. The Dewott put a paw on both of their shoulders.

“She’s gone.” Leo felt something inside him collapse. Whether it was his soul or a lung from the Froslass’s attack, he couldn’t tell.

“Gone? What do you mean ... gone?” The Charmeleon’s voice barely broke a hushed whisper as the cold wind blasted from the passage. The instinctively tightened muscles in his legs kept him from collapsing to the ground while his mind managed to keep a rein on his emotions to suppress his urge to sob.

“Noah, wh-where is Kelly right now?” Jay asked, the Riolu trying in vain to mask his own emotions with a near monotone voice. The wind ceased, allowing the oppressive silence to once again rule this domain of altered sun and stone.

Noah only shook his head in apparent defeat. “She’s with Her now, probably about to be frozen alive. If I remember right, we have about ten minutes before she is added to Her ... collection.” The Dewott looked up at the two remaining members of Salient, his face betraying no inner feelings or thoughts. “There’s nothing we can do now. If we’re lucky, we can still get out of here while she’s busy with Kelly.”

“N-nothing? What do you mean, ‘there’s nothing we can do’, Noah?” Leo demanded, his voice rising in volume. He knew perfectly well what it might mean. The Froslass had wanted me and I refused. And so she took the next best thing... His thoughts plainly told him, and for once, he knew he could trust them. It’s all... He felt his heart drop again. It’s all my fault she was taken.

The Dewott crossed his arms as he leaned against a pillar of glowing blue rock. “It’s exactly what it means. We can’t do anything. She doesn’t usually bother us when we travel through here, but on occasion, she will take one Pokémon to her lair and freeze them solid,” Noah answered nonchalantly as he tightened the strap on his shoulder.

“How do you know this? Huh? How?” Jay spoke up, his paws curling into fists as energy began to flow into them. Noah moved his paw down Jay’s arm and pushed it down.

“I’ve seen it happen. Seven times. Watched them all freeze while Torrent ordered us to run for the exit. Trust me, seeing a Arcanine frozen alive oversteps the boundary of mentally scarring ten times over,” he explained as Leo saw an involuntary shudder run down the Dewott’s spine.

Leo wasn’t sure if it was the combined effects of everything that had happened to him over the last week, or his mind finally slipping past his damaged rational, but he felt a burning force of anger rise from his chest where his heart fell.

He had gone through too much: waking up, arrest, near death, hallucinations, exile, he could handle, but the notion of losing what was perhaps the only other being on this planet that could sympathise with him, it was impossible. He wouldn’t let it happen.

“No.” Both Noah and Jay looked up from their argument at him. “I’ve gone too far with her, Jay, and even you, Noah, to lose any of you. My head may not be clear right now, but that is the one thing I am damn sure of. Noah, where is She, because I am going to tear Her to shreds,” Leo snarled, a low, primal growl accompanying the statement.

“Leo, you don’t understand: She will kill all of us if we don’t leave. Kelly’s probably already dead anyways, so let’s just--” Noah replied shortly before being cut off as Leo lunged at him. His reptillian body tackled the otter to the ground, shoving his head into the small, sharp rocks. Leo held the sharp edges of his claws against the Dewott’s neck and pressed forward enough so that Noah would feel the pain. Jay crouched down next to the two, though didn’t make any attempt to stop Leo’s assault.

Leo’s chest was heaving, anger leaving a red mist in his eyes. He huffed a hot jet of steam from his nostrils as he leaned close to the pinned Dewott’s face. His red scales glinting almost evilly in the stark, blue sunlight.

“Shut up! Kelly will survive! She’s strong enough! I know she will! Now, you are going to lead us to her, and then, you, Jay, and I are going to march right in there, burn Her goddamned liar to oblivion, and then rescue Kelly. Do you understand?” Leo yelled, every thought of his bent suddenly on the destruction of the Froslass.

“You know? For once, I actually agree with one of your horrible ideas, Leo. Let’s do this, “ Jay added as Noah gave a sigh of defeat.

“You two are the most stupid, stubborn Pokémon I’ve ever met, and that’s coming from me. I’ll go, but I hope you know we’re all going to die. Her ‘pet’ will make sure of that... “ Both Leo and Jay shot him confused looks as they wondered what he meant by his last sentence. Their questions were answered as a deep, feral-sounding roar shook the blue-stoned dungeon. Leo released his grip on the Dewott and climbed off of him, letting him get back to his feet with an annoyed huff.

Kelly, don’t worry. We’re on our way, he thought to her as the glowing blue ground thumped in rhythm to the steady footsteps of the monster’s personal monster.

Shelton stopped her hand inches from the smooth surface of the water.*
She was far enough over the edge of the water that she was able to see her reflection. The face that stared back was not her own. The face she was observing was deeply tanned and the head was closely shaved. Thick black stubble lined the jaw and lips. Shelton reached up and ran a hand across her mouth, feeling the grainy texture of the hair. She blinked several times, trying in vain to convince herself that what she was seeing was an illusion. Her mouth dropped open out of shock and the reflection of Ethan’s did the same. She opened her mouth wider, daring Ethan’s reflection to do the same. It did.

Shelton started screaming.

The poison type’s body compacted low, it’s thick legs taut and ready to explode. Kakari adjusted his assault and moved to sidestep. The attack was faster than the boy could have imagined, the red bladed finger homing in on his face. Kakari butchered his footwork, one leg moving over another in an attempt to block. It took both his arms to wrestle the punch to a stop.

The Toxicroak’s eyes met Kakari’s: Yellow, uncaring eyes.

The Poison Jab sunk into Kakari’s stomach.

Stabbing bolts of pain.

Bright yellow eyes.

Bloody vomit.

“These two...quite dangerous people, I’m sure, at some point,” Amy started, shaking her head at the injured old man and the scared blonde girl, her blue lips curling upward, “are part of Alec Gideon’s pathetic ‘guard’. He must be in the cave somewhere. If we removed the opposition and delivered the Wing to Gabriel, do you really think he would care if a few people died?” Logan was inching toward Preston, whose forehead was dripping, his eyes trained warily on the gun.

“Look at her hands,” he muttered to Logan, who seemed to find this an odd request. She looked all the same.

The hand holding the gun was like the rest of Amy’s body, slender and dark. But the other hand was gloved in sleek forest-green leather. Logan frowned, looking at Preston, more than a little worried about his sanity in his present state. “Why does that matter -” she began, but she was interrupted.

“Oh, shut UP,” Amy said, her eyes rolling. The bare hand cocked the gun trained on Preston’s forehead. “If you must know, I only watched your wife’s torture. A shame, really. I would’ve liked to say I took part in the removal of both Prestons from our world.” She smiled at this prospect, finger tightening.

Logan shouted, “NO!” but not before the woman pulled the trigger. Logan slammed her eyes shut just in time, the last image burned in her brain Preston’s weary face frozen in disbelief. She heard the body hit the ground with a sickening crash.

Thanks to everyone for the nominations and votes for Requiem!

I feel truly privileged to share wins and mentions with such outstanding and talented writers.

We're doing something special here people. It's pure creation, and the imagination of all people that write and create is something to be cherished and encouraged. I hope everyone is still around for next year and we keep this awesome progress and creativity going.

and **** yeah for Ethan being voted 'Best Villain' two years in a row!

 

[JX Valentine]

Hey, all! Thanks to everyone who voted—not just for me but in general, if only because you all are what make these awards so fun. Without you, there'd be no competition, so it's really you who make this happen. So thanks for taking the time and showing your support for both the authors of Serebii and the awards by participating. And of course, thanks go out to Dragonfree and The Great Butler for all the awesome work they do every year.

Idk, guys. I just have so many feels about this competition because of how much it brings the community together. Kinda. Sorta.

Anyway! I'm really flattered by how well both AEM and Down Sunnyside Lane did this year, and I'm super-happy to see that rebooting AEM for the umpteenth time was a totally good idea.

Congrats to everyone else, and may next year's awards be even better than this year's~!

 

[Cutlerine]

Oh my goodness! Thanks so much to everyone who took part, nominees, voters and organisers - and congratulations to all the winners! (Especially Jax and Psychic, because between you, you two seem to have won or placed for practically everything, and deservedly so.)

Foxes is stylistically the most difficult thing that I've ever tried to write, so to have it win Best Writing Style (and with Survival Project as the competition, too) is just ... wow. It's really something. I'm all jittery with excitement.

Congratulations again to everyone involved!

 

[Avenger Angel]

I'd really like to thank everyone who has been reading Trial of Juno and helped it get #3 for Best Plot. I'm just happy people are reading it and enjoying it, but trust me, it gets even better.

Many thanks and big congratulations to everyone who won. There's definitely a lot of talent around here.

 

[Ysavvryl]

Wow, didn't realize Curtis was liked that much. But good to know. Seems like a lot of good stories all around; congrats to all the winners!

also interesting that I still got a dedicated writer nod. hah, illness will slow me down, but I'm still writing!

 

[Rediamond]

...and I got more votes for Best Setting than total reviews on this site. Not entirely sure how that one works.

Anyway, congrats to the winners in all categories! Well deserved.

 

[Azurus]

How do I keep getting an award on here? What is it, two years in a row for most dedicated reviewer? I don't know what to say.

Congrats to everyone here though, I know there is a lot of stuff here on Serebii so for everyone who got a position on here, I have to say, good job for standing out from the rest.

 

[TheCharredDragon]

Wow! The results are here! Finally! Just kidding. And look at who's at first place on several categories. Hee hee... Anyways, congratulations to the winners and runner-ups! I hope we all have another splendid year of writing!

CC out!

 

[Negrek]

Heyyy, people actually voted for me this year! That's pretty cool.

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees, and a huge thanks to everyone who put in their votes and nominations this year. Without all of you we couldn't have any awards at all, so I'm very grateful to everyone who took the time to make their opinion known.

Extra thanks to The Great Butler and Dragonfree for hosting again this year, and for getting the results turned around so fast--seriously, I might be remembering wrong from previous years, but it feels like they went up super-quick this time. Awesome!

Congratulations, guys! It looks like I even got second place in one category. I wish I'd been a little more active on Serebii at least so I could know half the people I'm congratulating in the first place. XD Mrs. Lovett, I knew you were going to shine. Jax, Cutlerine, Butler, I hardly have to say it. diamondpearl, your new fic at least is one of my favorites. Congrats to every who got nominated though seriously, this forum has the best fics!

Congratulations everyone! I gotta say, getting nominated was a complete surprise to me. Placing as high as I did in Non-Romantic Relationship...I'm floored! Scoring a mention in Funniest Scene and Best One-Shot was surprising considering Wandering Storm was originally just a whim.

I wish I had more time to write and review, but real-life gets overwhelming at times. I'm glad everyone seems to like my work. Be patient with me and I'll continue to wow ya!

I'm truly honored that Roots did so well this year. Just seeing the name of my fic or characters up there on the list is a feeling that I hope everyone here gets a chance to have in the future. Thank you to everyone who voted, and congrats to all the winners! I agree with Praxiteles -- this forum is the only place I know that has such a large amount of good writers and reviewers, both new and old. I'm being honest when I say that this place is probably what helped me grow most as a writer, because it exposed me to knowledgeable people and pushed me to try new things. I'm glad that when I was a newbie, I was on SPPF.

Reflecting Balance got fourth place on Best PMD story? Wow, I didn't expect that! Thanks to those who voted for it! I also see I got sixth place for Most Dedicated Writer? Well, I'm okay with that! Again, thanks to whoever voted for me!

And congratulations to everyone else who was nominated and won/placed!
