Outstanding Fiction Overall
1) Death Of Innocence - M. Ravensblood
Categories with only one nominee were judged by fleta. kosmickway, roman_romantic, and because of some concerns naming an AU fic for overall, guest judge melsmarsh joined us for that category. I thought she put it well, "In my opinion, the best way to deal with "best overall" is to ask yourself "Can non-fans of the show enjoy this fic? Can they get a sense of the show after reading it? Does it make them want to learn more?" If the answer is they can't, the fic has no business being in the category. DOI seems to meet all of those criteria."
Judges Awards

She had many write ins for this award and we couldn't agree more, she's so supportive of all the authors and the artists in the fandom.

Special Awards
Special awards are issued for outstanding authors, fictions, and the like. Potential candidates are selected by analyzing the nominees, write ins and the enthusiasm of the judges and/or voters. It's voted on by the moderators and at least three must agree on the award. In a case like this fandom where a mod was among the considered, they did not vote on the category they were up for but they did vote for the other categories. *Note, the italics is the consensus of the mods and why the award was given.

Outstanding Erotic Author - M. Ravensblood

She explores Jack/Sam through the eyes of a dog in a unique way which makes you stop and look at your own relationships in a whole new light.
Moderator Awards
Each moderator may choose fics they think deserve notice and give them a special award. Each mod has a different color their awards are issued in. A moderator may receive an award from another moderator but doesn't give any to themselves. *Note, the italics is each mod's reason for the award they issued. roman_romantic's were translated by me, she is comfortable reading English but feels apprehensive writing in it and so any errors in her comments are mine.
Award(s) issued by roman_romantic:
Short Fic
Would You Like Fries With That? - Artemis1701
So much of the character is conveyed in so few words, it's quite amazing.
Perfect Kiss
Pink Satin Dress - Kajivar
There's a sweetness to this kiss that lingers with you.
Short & Steamy
She Does It On Purpose - Fishpwnsyou
Rachel's keeping John in a state of arousal is so well done in this fic.
Ensemble
Trick Or Treat - Kosmickway
Fun vignette of the VCTF's lighter moments.
WIP
Dreams In Red - Robin Nance
There's a mention of more to come and I wait anxiously for the rest of this brilliant fic
Holiday Fic
It's A Wonderful Knife - Robin Nance
Jack in a santa suit and reveng on the evil Kronish, what more could a girl want for the holidays?
Supernatural
To Touch The Face Of The Stars - Kosmickway
It made me feel for a character I loathe.
Long Series
Phillip Nicols And His Bag of Tricks - Serialbathera
It's a lengthy series which obviously took lots of hard work.
Most Unique Plot
Portrait Of Love - M. Ravensblood
Jack and Samantha thrown back in time to the 1700's... need I say more?
Unique Ship
Playing With Fire - Becca
John and his supernatural love, a very unique pairing.
Award(s) issued by lord_a_valente:
Romantic
Death Of Innocence - M. Ravensblood
Maybe it's a guy thing, but if a man remains faithful and celibate for 20 years waiting for the woman he loves - if that's not romantic I'm not sure what is.
Unconventional
A Question Mark In Flesh - Velvetwhip
Jack fixating on Grace, a unique and growing 'ship.
AU
Game Over - Melodicharmony
Unique take on what might happen if Jack and Sam met up.
Bondage
Bound To Love* Pt2, Pt3, Pt4 - M. Ravensblood
With a Story of O flair, Sam is broken on so many levels and it leaves you breathless.
Characterization
Geasa - Kosmickway
Well written piece which explores Bailey and why he got into law enforcement.
WIP
Okay I was bad. I chose two for this category, but choosing between two Skewed goddesses is more than a gentleman can handle.
Frannie The Vampire Slayer - Robin Nance
It's such a perfect fit for Frannie's character and it begs to be continued. She's not my favorite character, but Ms. Nance writes her brilliantly.
Trial By Marriage - M. Ravensblood
Unique take on Jack's connection to Sam which is quite unique and manages to draw even a male reader into the breathy innocence of the love story.
Holiday
Surrender - Kajivar
Jack's holiday gift is one that she cannot refuse and that puts a small wedge in her defenses with a nice hint of erotic tension.
Supernatural
Obsessions - M. Ravensblood
Two infamous blonde killers cross paths in this Profiler/Buffy crossover which stays faithful to the characters in both. Not finished, but I liked it a lot.
Most Unique Plot
The Denzel Series composed of B*tch In Heat, Alpha Male, and On The Hunt - Jackssilverwolf
Jack and Sam from a dog's view and breaking it down into simple and difficult to argue terms of the alpha male.
Award(s) issued by m_ravensblood:
Heartbreak
Once They Built A Railroad - Robin Nance
I chose it because it would be sad and believable with almost any couple, but is so sad to imagine for such a powerful pair.
Continuation
Careful What You Wish For - Kajivar
This one, I selected because I could imagine it happening if Sam went with Jack and what his action would be when it fell apart.
Short Fic
Happy Anniversary - Velvetwhip
I loved this fic because it manages brilliantly to be romantic and twisted at the same time. Gabrielle is brilliant at putting so much into but a few words.
Steamiest Sex Scene
Thaw - Kosmickway
I chose this fic because it takes a plot which could have been predicatable and gives it an unexpected uniqueness and sensuality.
Characterization
Reversed Insight - Kajivar
This fic captures Jack's obsessiveness so completely and I love the idea that Jack knew where Sam was and has merely been biding his time.
Humor
It's A Wonderful Knife - Robin Nance
This is my all time favorite fic, I've read it many times and still laugh.
X-Overs
Rituals - Kosmickway
I like the crossover of Profiler/Kay Scarpetta, it's a very natural fit between my favorite fandom and a character from some of my favorite books.
Holiday
When Christmas Carols Come True - Aussiehottiemjm
I selected this because it's two 'ships I don't normally read, but they're beautifully done in this sweet holiday fic.
Intoxicating
Everything/Nothing - Melanie Anne
This story is such a terrific "what if" and Jack contending with a drunk Samantha is priceless!
Missing Scenes
There are lots of great "missing scene fics" that narrowing it down is awfully hard. So I chose two of the best.
Pressure - Serialbathera
This one, I chose because Marcus is very much unexplored and I think it captures him very accurately.
Again - Kosmickway
I chose this piece because it's one of the rare one's to deal with John's grief over Kate and Grace is written as a central figure but perfectly in character throughout.
Supernatural
Devotion - Velvetwhip
I love the idea that even death won't keep Jack from the woman he loves... whether she likes it or not. Dark, haunting and perfect.
