Congrats to all the nominees!

Let the serious reading (and voting) begin!

OMG!

Since it took me 2 years to write, I'm grateful that people bothered to even read my current submission. Thanks to everyone who nominated the Vampire Murders.

Nan

Many thanks to whomever nominated "While I Slept". I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Congratulations to the other nominees!

Oh my goodness.

That's a fantastic list of stories there. And I can't believe I'm on there 5 times .... FIVE times.

There must be some mistake!!! I demand a recount.

*pstt* people usually demand a recount when they HAVEN'T been nominated. Shut up.

Thanks to all who put in nominations and to the Kerth Committee for doing all their behind-the-scenes organization.

Congratulations to all nominees.

And a super-huge thank you to all who nominated Todd. The nomination means a lot to me, much more even than any other nominations my stories have ever had. Todd is (very) loosely based on my son, and my struggle to find his voice was, in part, an attempt to figure out how my son might actually think. So of course the character of Todd is near and dear to me, and I'm thrilled that he has received this recognition. Thank you.

Joy,
Lynn

OMG, wow! I'm floored by my stories getting nominated so many times!

Congratulations to all of the nominees.

And my personal thanks to those who felt that After Nightfall... was worthy of a nomination.

Bob

Congratulations to all the great stories and authors nominated.

Congratulations!!

'Grats and thanks! Do we know when the ceremony is yet?

Congrats to all the 'noms and thanks for the 'noms in return! I hope I remember to vote that week-- that's a busy little cross section for me-- so somebody please post a reminder! Don't wanna miss anything!

Congratulations everyone--such amazing talent!

Laura

Congratulations to all the nominees! Thanks to those who nominated my stories.

Corrina.

Okay, I read this list 3 times and totally missed the fact that one of mine was nominated.

Thank you to all who nominated Miracle. It's particularly close to my heart. And once again, congrats to all the rest of the nominees!

A little while ago i posted the list of nominated stories and the titles are links to the archive for the stories that are in the archive and TOCS for those that aren't.

That should make it easier to get to the stories you may not have read.

Also, I want to add my congratulations to all of the nominees and thank those that nominated my story.

Congratulations, nominees! This is a mighty fine crop again, this year
