I won?
Thank you, thank you all who voted for me. I truly did not expect to win this year, given all the wonderful stories and skilled writers who shared their talents with us. I'd like to reiterate my thanks to my betas John Lambert, Morgana, Iolanthealias, and SciFiJoan. They all did yeoman's work helping me with this story, and they deserve a goodly amount of the credit.
Hey, wait a minute - does this mean that I'm expected to contend again next year?
I'd better get going on - something.
