I just finished judging my small part in the August 2016 Supernatural Fanfiction Monthly Awards contest. I had two categories this month - Short Story Romance OFC and Novel/Canon AU. From my own experience, and from what other judges have told me, this month's stories were exceptionally good. I don't mean just the winners -- all the nominees were of high quality.
This didn't surprise me. In my months of judging, I've found that stories submitted to this contest tend to range from very good to exceptionally good. So when I nominated two of my own drabbles this month, i truly did not expect them to win, knowing the quality of the competition. Imagine how good I felt when I found out they both won in their categories -- I've been smiling all day.
Without further ado, I present the winning stories of the Supernatural Fanfiction Monthly Awards, for August and June 2016. You can find a list of these and all previoius winning stories at the
