Writer's Workshop Autumn Awards 2012 RESULTS

Well, folks, it's that time again! The scores are finalised, the jury is in, the tables are set, the baked Alaska is in the oven, and a whole bunch of other unrelated idioms are wandering around like amnesiacs. The Autumn Awards involved some stiff competition, but we have our winners! Regardless of who won and lost, I want to first take a moment to thank everybody who created such wonderful works. Secondly, I'd like to thank those who took the time to make nominations for the awards and voted on the user-decided categories. This obviously couldn't happen without you.

Last, but most definitely not least, I want to thank the judges. Our Workshop staff and other helpful members put in a lot of hours reading, critiquing and judging the nominated fics, and it is a big commitment for busy people. So on behalf of the whole Workshop, I'd like to extend a huge thank-you to the following people, listed by category.

Journey Fics
@Mako; (special mention for coming over to help out despite not being WW staff)
@Drakon;
@Zeb; (like Mako, a longtime friend of the Workshop)
@Princess Crow; (on-loan from the Pokemon Ultra RPG - go check it out!)

Expansion Fics
@LightningTopaz;
@AceTrainer14;

Non-Pokemon/Crossover Fics
@Caitlin;
@Lugion; (special thanks to a WW regular who gave up his time to help out)

Dark Fics
@G-Mama;

Alternate Fics
@Misheard Whisper; (>_>)
@Soulmaster; (like Lugion, a regular user who volunteered to help with the judging process)

Note: Character awards were a group effort, with each of our judges judging the characters in fics from their category.

Further note: If you want more individualised feedback for your fic from the judges, you may PM them and ask for it. However, none of them are under any obligation to provide it; not everyone has the time to write up reviews while scoring. Often you'll find we are happy to oblige, but just a heads up.

So, without further ado, let us get to the results! (Badges can be found here)

Congratulations to all our winners! Further results will be posted in a few days, once the judging panel has come to a decision over the Best Story and Best Character awards and tabulated the votes for Best Reviewer and Best Newcomer.

I'd like to extend my congratulations to all the winners!

Seems I have a good eye for nominations. ;)

I can't say I'm surprised my own fic didn't win, but I'm coming for you next time, @Feliciano!

Congrats to everyone!

...Well, I wasn't expecting that. xD
I'll have to participate more in the Workshop. I feel kinda bad that all I've done here is post my fic. >.>;
Congratulations to everyone else who's won!

Well, didn't expect to win, but being nominated is always nice :P

Congrats to all of you and glad Mishear Whisper isn't going to be the Mother $@%@%$ Gary Oak who gets all the badges first, though I think he still has a shot

anyone know the current badge tallies?

As far as I know, I'm still in the lead with five. (Legacy has five too, but he hasn't been around.) I didn't even get nominated this season because I haven't updated in so long that everyone forgot. :P

...Wow, that was fast judging.

I didn't win either award my stuff was nominated for (so disappointing... I guess Kelli's not a very good character. I must've tried too hard to improve her over the years), but oh well. I'm glad to have won once already anyway. :)

Congrats to the winners!

Congratulations to the winners! (: I'm just a newbie here at the Writer's Workshop who also isn't a very avid fanfiction reader, but I'm sure everyone did a marvelous job!

Thank you all for the great work--although I didn't expect to win anything, I also want to thank everyone for the nominations too

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG *dies of shock*

Go Feli! She may be in a state of shock but I always believed in her! :)

Congrats to all of the winners! I had a great time judging and found plenty of good fics. Which for the ones I did(Essence of Life(I can't spell your name), Pokemon Academy @Stellar Gale;), Brotherhood @G-Mama;)) I would like to be mentioned for future chapters if you can do that :)
@Tsutarja; ~_^

@Soulmaster; you count on it bud :)

Congratulations to all of our winners and nominees! You all did a fantastic job, and I'm glad to have been able to take part in this whole thing.

Big congratulations to everyone who was nominated and won :)
