Finally, after an endless battle with two different calculators and a mobile phone, and after redoing the sums a grand total of three times to be sure they were accurate, I present:
Yes, I did go looking for hidden votes, in everybody's entries. ;)
I saw that after the fact, and I'm dreadfully sorry about it. I was hoping peope would be mature enough not to deliberately vote down things they don't like, and I did notice the opposite was in effect - certain people giving only very high votes to angst stories. sadly I can't think of a way to police against that without essentially ruining the point of the competition, you know?

sadly I can't think of a way to police against that without essentially ruining the point of the competition, you know?I think it would be worthwhile to at least state that if your biases prevent you from fully appreciating a particular subgenre (PWP, Fluff, Established Relationship, schmoop in general!) then please don't vote on the stories

Thank you so much for hosting this--it was a great experience and I enjoyed it so much! Thanks for the v-gift as well--that's very thoughtful. :)
As for voting, would it be possible to create a poll, with just the teams and the range of numbers? That way you wouldn't have to search through comments to find the numbers. Or you could have volunteers count the votes each day, and email them to you, so that it wouldn't be such an overwhelming task at the end.

Thanks so much for running this challenge. It was the first time I'd done something like this, and it was pretty fun ^_^
And thank you for the angsty black rose in my profile! That was very sweet ^_^
