valis2Congratulations to all the winners! *applauds*
On a side note, I told you I wouldn't win, and I was right. And no, this isn't the "sulky" valis coming out, it's the realistic! The winners are all "classics"/tremendously popular/great fics. TLS just does not have that kind of readership at the moment. I haven't really done enough publicity, and it's lingering on a bit too long. Plus there are some unique problems for most average readers of SS/OFC, I think, namely a bit too much on the violence scale, and an OFC who isn't, well, likeable, in some ways. I am still astonished that it was nominated, and really happy that it was involved in the competition at all. w00t for me!

Maybe you'll get nominated again. But with nearly 200,000 HP fanfics on ffn alone, being nominated is awesome.
