What it says on the tin - but the tin doesn't say it all. Several folks I am tremendously proud to call friends are amoung this years winners: Gabrielle (velvetwhip), snogged, spikesredqueen, rua1412, dragonyphoenix, snickfic, snowpuppies, brutti_ma_buoni, punch_kicker15. I am so proud and pleased to not only call these folks my friends, but to know that good work is being recognized and honored. It gives one hope. Congratulations to all the winners and a big round of applause to dragonydreams for running the awards year-in, year-out.

Any of of the stories on the winners and nominee list by the abovenamed authors would be well worth your time. Yes, yes I am biased: velvetwhip's "Civilian" and "In The Shadow of the Dead", snowpuppies "Memory" and "Try", punch_kicker15's "Truly Missed the Boat" , brutti_ma_buoni's "A Half-Formed Thing", snogged's "Passion (Rules Us All)", and...well I'll leave you to discover your own personal favorites. Don't forget to check out the nominees list as well!

Most of these categories were difficult to vote in (I had a few favorites, of course) but few more so than the art category ("Best Photo Manipulation or Layout".)  How in the WORLD to choose between spikesredqueen's heartbreaking WIld at Heart - Animal Way and rua1412's lush, wildly sensual Willow/Angel banner? I came very close to asking dragonydreams "Do you allow tie votes, pretty please? Can't I chose both?"

a rewrite of S5 in which Giles and Joyce are an actual item: Ooooh!

I popped in at the chapter where Joyce has been diagnosed with cancer and Giles is talking to Buffy and internally distressed about losing the woman he loves (again) and the prose looked lovely and I thought oh Joss why the HELL didn't you do this on the show (but I shipped Joyce and Giles anyway) and my bookmark was lost when the old computer was crispy fried .

If I find it again I WILL share the link, hon.

Thanks. You could try asking here. Even though it's called Seeking Spike, it's for any BtVS and AtS stories.

Thanks sweetie I'll give that a try!
