McShep Match 2008: And the winners are ...
Yes, this is it for another year, folks - just these results to announce and it's all over until 2009, when we hope we'll see you all back again!
Just a quick note on scoring before we announce the results - the average for each category over all fics is totalled to make the results, so since each is scored from 1-9 the final score is the number of points out of 27.
It was never going to be as close as last year, when Team Angst pipped Team Romance by the tiniest of tiny margins (0.01), but we have to tell you it was still pretty damn close.
The final scores were:
Away Team: 22.96
Home Team: 23.08
Congratulations to the Home Team for their victory, but also to the AWay Team, who have nothing to be ashamed of with that result!
All that remains is for the Team Members to collect their 1st and 2nd place banners and icons made for McShep Match by the fabulous leyna55.
First place:
Second place:
Thank you leyna55, and thank you once more to our Teams and Team Captains for making McShep Match so much fun. Also, we have to say a huge thank you to everyone who read, commented and voted - we wouldn't be here without you either!
Finally, all participants can now post their stories wherever they like - those of you with long stories that were uploaded to the website for the duration of the fest please let us know the new address for your story (whether LJ, archive or your website) and we'll replace the links as soon as we can.
See you next year!
