Fall 2006 Contest Results

[goldberry]

Well, here they are finally! The results of the Fall 2006 Fanworks Contest! I do apologize for the delay this week. I unexpectedly had to work a 60 hour week and have barely had time to sleep let alone work on the results. lemonyloyce valiantly took over our new voting system and did a spectacular job! (She is, however, emo-ing over there in the corner due to the misconception that she had messed up the spreadsheet. Please pat her on the head and/or feed her cookies if you see her.)

And the Top Reviewer Award goes to the awesome kaeru_chan (Prize: "Sweet Room" Doujinshi by Kaguya), and we thank her and the other dedicated reviewers for supporting our contestants, especially since many of you were contestants and took the time to review anyway. ♥ kaeru_chan, please send your contact information to me to receive your prize.

All of you are entitled to banners which, I'm ashamed to say, I didn't have time to make as I figured you all had waited long enough for the results. As soon as they are all complete, they will be posted to the community for you to pick up.

I'd like to congratulate all of our lovely winners in this season's contest! As always, every entry was wonderful and I really wish we could reward every single one of you for your hard work. Contest time always brings out our best and I always look forward to seeing what our participants come up with.

Having said that, however, lemonyloyce and I are considering only holding one big contest a year instead of two. It might be easier on those of you in school and it would certainly allow us to get more and better prizes. It's just a notion we're playing with and nothing has been decided yet. We would still have several other activities each year besides the contest(s), but perhaps one big themed one a year is all we need. Either way, we welcome your thoughts on this, as well as any comments you have about this particular contest. If you didn't like the way it was run, we'd like to hear about it, and if you totally loved it, we definitely want to hear about it! :D

All things being equal, we hope you had fun this season. Winners, it's your responsibility to get your physical address to the corresponding moderator in charge of your particular prize. If we don't hear from you within a couple of weeks, we're going to assume you are not interested in or already have that particular item and your prize will be kept over for the next contest. The quicker you get in touch with us, the quicker we can get those packages out to you. ♥

If anyone has any questions, we will address them here. Otherwise, thank you for participating in or supporting this season's contest and have a great night!

Sincerely,
berrygold, Admin
