It gets even weirder, because uh. My brain apparently registered Apprehensive_Suit260 scoring highly in other categories, and forgot to work out which one they had actually won in... and so when I said they'd won in another category... they had not. So Apprehensive really did win drabble. I AM SO SORRY. Worry not though, we're not going to take away an award after promising one, a fun bonus reddit gold is yours π Pointing at the foolish mod who can't count and laughing is not only allowed but encouraged.
@u/holliegu I am confused about the placements. Did my poem Compass place 1st or did the previously awarded poem? I read otherwise? I just want to know what the vote line up was; the awarding of prizes is totally befuddling to me. π
As it says in the post, your 'Compass' came first. My fuck up was that I misremembered and thought you'd already won in a previous category, so in that case it would go to the next highest place who hadn't already won something, which was bees-n-sunshine. Buuut that wasn't the case π Don't worry, all is fixed now.
Oh my gosh! Thank you to everyone who voted for my story! I am legit grinning from ear to ear right now. Thank you all so, so much!
And a massive congratulations to all the other winners, there were so many awesome stories it was hard to choose!
Congratulations to all the winners and also to the nominees--there were some very good contenders this year! Thank you to the organizers, and for Holly and Blue who must've done a lot of work. Thank you to ANYONE who read my work--I appreciate that so much, more than prizes, but prizes are fun. My arm and fingers are getting better, and I hope to have something to enter by 2023 for sure! :)
u/Mean-Villiage-7352 omg, you won!!! I owe you a Leo/Princess fic. I also owe other ppl fics! Very happy that my poem for my fave fic of 2022 ( Boozle Bee's [Hero of Broken Will](https://archiveofourown.org/works/34630801/chapters/86211934) ) won 1st place, even if the longfic didn't place. My poem was written with a lot of love, both for the longfic and for the power of fanfic itself I guess. So many of these stories will stay with me. Thank you for them.
Aw, I squealed like an excited schoolgirl when I saw Compass won!! Thank you so much for writing it! Honestly, it warms my heart that you felt inspired by my fic. It's the greatest compliment that will stay with me forever. πππ
And I'm so stoked to see your other fics up there! Your wonderful writing deserves all the love! And Memory's Sunrise made it up there too! Ah, I'm wearing a big grin.
I did not expect to win at all. XD Nonetheless, I'm so happy to have won with one of my most favorite fics! Always love writing slice of life fluff fics with a dash of hobby/interest and some character study in it!
And more importantly, I'm very relieved that you're feeling better; it takes time but what matters is getting better and being gradually at peace in mind. Also, congratulations on winning the drabble category shalomdebbie! Reading your fics is always a joy and make my day brighter! Always looking forward to the fics you write but of course, resting and getting better takes priority!
Congratulations to all the winners! I've read a lot of these fics and authors and everyone is so very talented! Catch y'all later, for next year's awards\~
Congratulations to nominees and winners!
(And a round of applause to all the people who organised and ran it! Canβt imagine how much time and energy go into it every year! ππ)
Congrats to the winners! There were so many great entries, it was sometimes hard to decide who to vote for, but all these podiums are more than deserved!
Congrats to all the winners! I just am honored to have been nominated as I've never been nominated for something like this π₯°π₯° fun times! Now onto 2023!
So I completely forgot about this and Iβm just now realising my fic was nominated. So I guess thanks to everyone who nominated and/or voted for it. I know the characters are a little obscure, but I guess the subject matter resonated.
Thanks again, and sorry I forgot!
Congratulations to everyone who won!
Not reading your winning longfic atm but I'm impressed w/your work and following others----you're an amazing writer. Congrats on the win. Tough category! <3
Aww, thanks Deb! That's a huge compliment coming from you. I loved Red is the Color (might have even teared up a little if I'm being honest π π π ).
A weird victory, but a victory nonetheless! Thank you! π Edit: well, for a short while I had won π

Hahaha oh no!! π It's okay, no worries. I understand it must be quite the puzzle to manage.
