Spring 09 MAFAs Voting
Well, I have to say that the response this time around was even more overwhelming that before. You guys are good, I'll give you that. Thank you!
Now - to voting. Please do take the time to read as many of these fics as possible. Even if you're not interested in voting, this is basically one huge rec list. These fics are here for a reason. But if you are voting, please do read what you can. You certainly have the time - voting ends Sunday 5th April, midnight GMT (ie, as Monday begins).
Voting Rules:
- Votes don't have to be done all in one post, you can come back to it any time before the voting ends.

- To vote, just list the category and fic title in your comment or e-mail. All comments are screened, and you can e-mail me at smokey2307@hotmail.com
If there are any errors on the list, please notify me! I went by the information the nominators gave me, and didn't have enough time to check out all of them for errors.
Also, if you believe that I have missed your nomination off the list, please also let me know. I've had an awful lot and it's very possible that I lost a couple somewhere along the way, and I apologise in advance if this is the case.
