Congratulations to all our nominees! Excellent work, all around!

Thanks to all who were able to vote. Final voting will begin soon - and we are SUPER excited about it.

Wow. There are a lot of nominees this year. Congratulations to all! (And my thanks for those who voted for my story. )

Thank you, KCOMM, for compiling this list, as well as for the fun games, phenomenal banners, and ceremony organization.

Joy,
Lynn

Congratulations to all the nominees!
And thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to all of you kind readers who voted for me. Being nominated among this bunch of terrific and talented authors makes me feel very humble... and quite grateful!
Thank you to the KComm for all the work behind the games and the amazing banners.

Congrats to all the nominees!

Thank you KComm for all your hard work!

Congratulations to all the nominees!

And thanks to the hard-working K-Comm members. Once again, you've done an amazing job!

Thanks to everyone who voted for my stories. I am deeply honored to be included with this group of outstanding authors and stories.

I'm impressed with all the nominees. It was easy to nominate multiple stories. Now, the question is how to choose just one in each category? Although, it is a lovely conundrum! Much better than having a drought of stories.

Congratulations to all the nominees. Figuring out which story to vote for in the different categories is going to be tough.

Yeah there were a LOT of ties. A LOT! Makes for some tough choices next week. Congratulations to all the nominees and thank you to everyone that nominated my stories.

Hope everyone's enjoying the games. Next game coming to you shortly.

Yes! Love this time of year. Congratulations to all the nominees. Thanks so much for nominating my little story! hard to believe I have been writing for this fandom for so many years.
