I may not be the author for any of the fics...

But I'm still happy to see Heroes After All win a category! And in Best Expansion of Canon too! As well as Dragony winning three categories! Three! I loved that fic. I'm so happy. which reminds me i need to review it...

Congrats to all those who won too! I may not have read everything in the nominations, but those I did I feel deserved the nominations and the votes.

Here's to another year of fic writing! And hopefully more writing in general too. XP

now to hope the non-pokémon fic category will still be around by the time i put up my fic

Here's to the authors who won their categories for a work very well done! Umbramatic, Spiteful Murkrow, Ambyssin, Nebula Dreams and others, there's a provision of very good stories from their hand to enjoy in this trying quarantine.

Glad to get some victories as well, and congratulations to everyone who participated! Confused why I'm in both the "new" and "established" chapter fic category, though. It's funny that I tied for first for best PMD, but didn't get a single vote in the best-established category... aha... ah... I really hope those two things are related and my quality isn't dipping.

Glad for the other things, though--special shoutout to Nebula for getting most heartwarming AND most heartbreaking scenes from the same chapter! Well-deserved, too. I read it.
