Best Fic Overall: The Year Without Slytherin by mynuet

Best Portrayal of Ginny Weasley: The Halfway House by mynuet and persephone33

Favourite Minor/Supporting Characters: Hermione Granger in Winner Takes All by goeungurl
♥ LITERARY AWARDS ♥
Funniest Line - The Art of Deception by persephone33
"Seriously," he continued. "I think you could stare it down. That's door's always been a coward."
Snarkiest Conversation - The Best Laid Plans of Theodore Nott by nbaeker
"Malachite Shadow," she grumbled, pushing past the reporter and stalking over to the masked man in his fedora. "What just happened?"
"They're praising me. I stopped an evil-doer most foul," the man replied, smirking at her, just like that prat Malfoy. "And you look like crap, by the way."
"More foul than an attempted murderer? 'Cause stopping him is why I'm such a mess," Ginny snapped. Her knuckles were scraped, her jaw bruised, and her lip still trickling blood from the run in with the burly man. She was not in the mood for foolishness, and it appeared that this, this prat was determined to poke at her last nerve.
"I stopped that man," he said, pointing to a very grumpy looking man. "He was attempting to abscond with that child's confection."
"Let me get this straight," Ginny said, nostrils flaring slightly as she exhaled. "I subdue a would-be murderer, while you stop a diabetic from leveling his blood sugar levels, and they're going crazy over you?"
"Well, I am prettier," Draco reasoned, amused at the outrage emanating off the red-head.
Best Prose - The Black Alder Tree by incipient_love
"No, Ginny, don't - don't cry," Draco said frantically, brushing away her teardrops with his thumb. "Why are you even -"
Ginny shook her head. "I don't know," she choked out, half-laughing at the silliness of it all. Draco was the one whose life was literally falling apart, and here she was, crying.
Draco pulled her close, and she knew that he was trying to make this hurt go away, just as he had with all the others, all those nights in the past. And it broke her heart - how he tried so hard to save her, when he couldn't even save himself.
Best Kiss - Vertigo by lyndsiefenele
Her hands fisted in his hair as she pulled herself against him. In the instant before she slammed her lips to his, she experienced a sense of wonder at how the course of her life had directed her here, to this moment, with him. And then the thought flashed away, replaced by the taste of him, the feel of his stubble scraping against her skin, and, winding its way into her brain, his scent, twining with the overwhelming need to be close, to touch every part of him.
Most in Need of a Sequel
Finding Time at Bamburgh View by humbuggirl
Best Interpretation of the Prompt
The Pike by iluvfanfics
Mod Awards
Vertigo by lyndsiefenele
Seegrim: I like how the descriptions were so vibrant. The touches, the sights, the smells--it felt like you were right there. The smut was perfectly believable. Also, I love the Draco/Ginny dynamic. I actually got butterflies in my stomach at the end. Where she realizes that she may be in love with him, and she stands outside his door, not able to knock, but he just *knows* she's there and opens the door? I sighed. Happily. It was the perfect defining moment.
I'll Trade You Boardwalk by kaygina
Jandy: I thought it was creative and fun. Draco was fabulous - the brothers were hilarious - Ginny was sassy and cute. I really enjoyed this one.
♥ ART AWARDS ♥
Best Artwork Overall: Culmination by sororitysheep
Most Original: Reflections by squirrely_grrly
Most Eye catching: Love Under the Tree by emo_globina

Thank you all for your wonderful participation. This banner is for everyone - winner, nominee, or not.
All of you were wonderful. Thanks for making this fifth exchange so brilliant!
The Fall 2008 WALL OF SHAME
What's worse that killing OFF our two kids? Having Ginny LEAVE Draco! I hope the seriousness of the suck that is the Wall of Shame is felt by the heartbreakyness.
Thank You liriehalliwell for the AWESOME AWESOME graphic. You rock all sorts of ways!! :D
Now make like flying monkeys and 'Fly, my pretties, fly' to go forth and pimp the reveal (oops - sorry for the WoOz reference, Celeste)!! Don't forget to comment and give love to your favourite authors, and relish in the overall awsomeness that is the great ship of Fire and Ice! ;)
