Thanks, everyone - None of them are L&C stories, I'm afraid, which is why I didn't post about it myself. The odd part is that they're all fairly old stories - and The Key to Byzantium is actually technically inelibible for its award, since it isn't primarily about that character, despite getting twice as many votes as any of the other nominees. They've decided the award stands, since the moderators should have caught the error before voting began. Annoyingly, none of my new stuff made it to the final vote, but those awards are a bit of a lottery really so I'm not too worried about it.

"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Congrats. You write excellent stories. And have some of the most twisted crossovers.

Marcus has 79+ stories and a few of them are strung together as Series . My two favorit are the Slayers/CSI (Las Vegas) (only one of the stories is rated for FR18/R) and the Family Issues series. The second story Family Issues series is a little on the dark side involving character death, but it is handled well. James

The latest development on these awards is that due to problems with another story they had to review all award winners to make sure that they didn't break any rules - because the other author was (to say the least) causing problems they couldn't be seen to be playing favourites or making any exceptions. The result is that The Key to Byzantium did lose its award in the end - no great surprise since it was nominated in error. There is now a huge argument in progress on their discussion boards about the other disqualified story, which must be very annoying for everyone involved, but from my point of view is a lot more entertaining than the story ever was...
