Oh wow, I didn't expect to see the results so soon. Though I guess considering how it's automated and how little votes there were...anyways! I'm not gonna think about that part!

I know it was small compared to all the other times, but I'd still like to say congrats to the winners as well as glad to see anyone get on the nominations since that means more reasons for me to check the fics out.

Also can I say, I know the non-pokémon fic category doesn't have much in the way of competition, but I'm still surprised my Persona 5 AU one-shot got nominated. Thanks to the nominater.

Here's to another year of fic writing to all writers here! I wish you luck.

aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Holy crap when I saw I was up against Of Sand And Shadows I thought Obsession didn't stand a chance but Best Expansion of Canon is amazing! Thank you so much! I just posted chapter 34 if anyone wants to take a gander at it and see what the fuss is all about hahaha~

Been writing this fic for 20 years so it's good to see that it hasn't been forgotten.

Congrats and well done to all the winners! I hope I can throw my hat back in the ring soon!

 

[Sike Saner]

Dunno how I won that, but thanks, y'all. Congrats to all the winners and nominees!
