I totally agree about how difficult it was to choose just one to vote for in many of the categories! Thanks so much for the shout-out.

You're very welcome hon! I'd love to see more Willow and Buffy tics from you (shippy and/or friendship) if you're so moved.

Something I find extremely challenging with fic contests is choosing between stories that are very very different in length, style etc. For ex: Trying to choose between a multi-chapter story that has less exquisite prose but a plot to sustain; vs a much shorter fic that doesn't have a plot but is entirely concerned with characterization and precision of language. Apples to oranges.

I understand now why some fic contests break down categories very strictly by length of story.

Whereas in icontests, it's two or more icons, same size, same shape, same purpose. Apples to apples. (And I still agonize anyway.)
