[batgurl88]

Well, it's the moment you've all been waiting for: the Winner's List for the 2008 Criminal Minds Fan Fic Awards!!

I want to thank once again everyone who participated in this competition in any way, shape or form. To everyone who took the time to read through the (incredibly long) list of nominees, and submitted ballots. Special thanks to authors/

Well, you deserve your own round of applause and hefty congratulations for running this competition without an hitch.

Best AU is definitely needed. Otherwise the other categories are pretty good. Any new addons should be discussed closer to the next competition as new fics and thus new categories might possibly appear.

My issue was with the timing. Somehow the nomination and voting period was just around X-mas time when everyone is really busy. So maybe nominations should start earlier (like late November with the nominations list posted early December) and the voting period in late January. Or something.

*g* Thank you! And thanks for the feedback.

lol Yeah, the timing was a bit rough - blame it on my getting the idea for this comp on the 1st of November and having most of Dec off this year. Though, since it's a competition for the entire year, I'm not sure having the nominations end before the year is up would work as well (there were quite a few noms of fics posted in December in this batch, and even a few disqualified ones from early January). Maybe if we moved most of it to January instead? I guess we have a year to hammer out dates. But thanks for pointing this out! :)

Well it doesn't matter, the fics taht didn't make it in this year will make it in next year and so on.

Anyway, if you need help next year, i'll do my best.

Congratulations to all the winners! And thank you so much for doing such a beautiful job with the CMFFA's!! I know I'm going to keep tabs on all the fics this year so I know who to nominate next year! I've already read one fantastic AU story this year.

[batgurl88]

Thank you! And that's great to hear - should definitely make nominations easier for you next year. I'll have to remember to do that, myself. ;)
