And the winners are...

Thank you all for taking the time to make your nominations and I hope you have enjoyed it! So, without further ado, let me announce the winners…

1. Most dedicated fan- Laura (by an overwhelming majority, congratulations!)

2. Best newcomer to the fandom- Jenny (again by a huge majority, well done!)

3. Best veteran of the fandom- Gee, Jen (DSISandraPullman39) and Beth (very deserving joint winners in a very close category)

4. Potential best-selling author- Eden (thank you!)

5. Nicest person in the fandom- Gee (as I predicted! Another huge majority so very well done!)

6. Best overall contribution to the fandom- Beth (a much deserved award, won by a mile!)

7. Writer who best portrays the characters- Eden (thank you again!)

8. Favourite writer overall- Eden (this is starting to look like I've doctored the results now, I promise I haven’t! It was an exceptionally close call between me, Laura, Beth and Gee so thank you everyone!)

9. Most original/imaginative fanfiction ideas- Gee (another overwhelming majority!)

10. Favourite fanfiction overall- ‘Changes’ by Jen and ‘Just This’ by Jessie Marsh are our joint winners overall but ‘Recipe for Disaster’ by i-must-go-first came an extremely close second place.

Other brilliant fics that people voted for were…

‘Fifteen Minutes of Fame’ and ‘I Just Haven’t Met You Yet?’ by Gee

‘Waking With You’ by Jessie Marsh

‘Who Is She?’ by Beth

‘Journey To Parenthood’ by Laura

‘Same Time, Next Week’ by i-must-go first.

So there we go! You can probably tell by the amount of exclamation marks in this that I have really enjoyed organising these awards, so much so that I’m thinking of doing more if everyone is up for it, perhaps a ‘fic of the month’ award to liven up the archive a little? And of course I will do this again around the same time next year. If you have any ideas for more awards please let me know :)

Congratulations to the winners and thank you again for participating!
