You all have been nothing short of fantastic--not just this round, but every round. Each and every review is thoughtful, and I'm always amazed at what larger themes and issues you tease out--things that make me look at stories I've read before with a completely new eye. It's like an advance course in literature--only the literary criticism is far, far more enjoyable a read :)

In addition to the gorgeous reviews, though, is the respect each and every of the reviewers shows; it's something that's sorely lacking in other places, and I think it shows a level of class that puts this group--and this site--in a league of its own.

Thank you all for the hard work.

I echo jlrpuck, I have been amazed at the amount of work and thought you guys have put into this project, and the quality of the reviews you produce. Several of you are on my f-list, so I know what hard work it is and how seriously you all take it, and I just wanted to say thank you. I've very much enjoyed reading them!

Ditto!!

You treated each author with respect, didn't go out of your way to find something "wrong" so you could rag on it, and wrote helpful, entertaining, and very thoughtful reviews.

Thank you!

*Hugs ... and chocolate?*

This reviewer will gleefully accept the chocolate - and the hugs - thank you! :D

You deserve it ... have a TARDIS cookie, too?

*Hugs*

Cheers!! *hugs back*

And speaking for myself - despite all the hard work I put into the reviews - I did have fun doing it, and look forward to doing it again.

Everything I wanted to say has already been said by jlrpuck and fid_gin! I'd still like to add my voice to the chorus, and thank each of you for all your hard work. I can't imagine the time it takes to write each story such a loving, insightful review. It's that care that makes this comm so special. Thank you all for being such good fans of the stories and authors nominated. You're amazing!

Thank you! We haven't heard a lot from readers this round, and while we don't do this for feedback - of course not! - it is nice to hear that our work is appreciated :) We haven't heard a lot from readers this time around: about reviews that made them read a story they wouldn't have otherwise, reviews that reminded them of a story they'd forgotten or that just made them smile :) Thanks for the appreciation!

I was so disappointed to see that this group decided not to be active for the fourth round of the COT awards. Will you be back for round 5?

I am sorry that you missed us - but very glad that you stopped by to tell us ( ... )

Thank you so much for your response and I really appreciate the speed with which you got back to me. I am disappointed you didn't do some reviewing for any of New!Who Donna-related fics in the current, but I can understand that fans of SJA and TW might have felt they were getting a bit left out.

I certainly hope you'll be back for Round 6 (if you can bear to think that far ahead)!
