Well, this is an outcome I didn't see coming. I am definitely surprised, as I hardly expected to stand a chance against someone like Lugion.

Congrats to all the nominees and winners from my end! We've all done a great job, and I have high hopes for next season as well! ^^

I'm just glad you finally did the right thing and made a judging panel instead of voting. This way the fics that deserve to win will, and not just the popular ones. :thumbup:

I am not sure if this is allowed or not, but are we able to request the comments made by the judges about our work? I am just interested to see what they wrote, but I understand if it is not allowed
