2009 Winner's List
Well, you've all been patient, and now it's finally time for the big reveal: the winners of the 2009 Criminal Minds Fan Fic Awards!!
A big thank you once again to everyone who participated, including those who pimped the awards on other communities and journals, and especially those who pushed themselves to get through the (extremely long) list of nominees! And another round of congratulations to the nominees themselves - even if you didn't happen to win this year, you're still terrific authors who provide a much appreciated service to the fandom. Keep doing what you're doing!
We had an amazing turnout - 163 voters in total (knocking last year's 60 out of the park!). I'm pleased to announce that there are also way fewer ties than last year.
This was my last year running the CMFFA's. Due to RL constraints, I won't be able to supervise this project anymore, but that doesn't mean that this is the end! A post will be made later this week asking for people interested in running the 2010 CMFFA's. It's a long ways away right now, but the post will remain open all year for people to inquire. Thank you to everyone for a great 2 years! I hope the competition has been as rewarding for you as it has been for me! :)
I'll post a breakdown of the votes in a separate post a bit later for those who are interested (I know not everyone wants to see that sort of thing). But for now, here are the winners you guys chose!

In the case of ties, fics were once again listed alphabetically. Winners will be contacted within the next week with instructions on where/how to get their banners.
