Woo! Congratulations everyone! So many great stories and so many great memories attached to them. ^___^ And can I point out how amused I am that there's a story in here that was never even published in a public forum? It just floated around between a few people, but it was just that great.

Comments

Oh, I'm so excited and happy about this! Congratulations and a huge thank you to all the wonderful authors here, as well as to the mods for keeping this comm running!

And yay, I have hours upon hours of reading here to catch up on! :D

[clayangel.livejournal.com]

I know, right! ^_^ There are stories on here that people have been telling me about for years, and seeing them on the list reminds me that I need to go read them already!

[livingsasquatch.livejournal.com]

Which is the one never posted on a public forum?

[clayangel.livejournal.com]

Remedy by Kalimyre. It was never finished, so she never posted it. It's in the honorable mentions.

[zanderisms.livejournal.com]

Congrats everyone! Had a jolly good re-read of quite a few of these. I love this community and everyone in it so much. I always get excited when I see a new fic or chapter on my friends page.

Much love to you all <3

Heres to another 5 year =D

[sungreen70.livejournal.com]

Yay! So many fabulous stories and even a few that I've missed. I'm going to consider this my required reading list :)

Heh, that's awesome about the unpublished story. Is Kalamyre still around? I wonder if she'd post it. She's definitely got our curiosity piqued!

Thanks to everyone who mentioned one of my stories :) So, so SO flattering to be included!

[clayangel.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen her around in a while...over a year, maybe two. The thing is that it's not finished, and it probably never will be. She gave me permission to continue/finish it ages ago, but I don't have the guts to try and do her work justice, plus she wrote herself into a corner with it, and having read it myself, I have no idea how to fix it. ^_^ So...yeah.

[indybaggins.livejournal.com]

She wrote a bit (very succesfully) for Stargate aswell in the last couple of years. She's one of the very best writers out there in my opinion, I'm very pleased to see that she got so many votes :)

[clayangel.livejournal.com]

Me too. I was worried that stories like Riven and Palaver and Parallel would have been long forgotten by now (they're all at least 7 years old, aren't they?) so it's so great to see that the current fandom is still reading her. ^_^

[pdglyph.livejournal.com]

Congrats, Sunny! Your writing is ever amazing and always a treat! <3

[sungreen70.livejournal.com]

*huggles*

Thanks luv!

[clayangel.livejournal.com]

I also wanted to say how flattered I am, getting the top spot. That's really, really cool, though I totally think Palaver (my all time fav. story, and one everyone needs to read) deserved it. ^__^ Though, when I say it was close, I mean it. Those top 6 spots were all separated by one vote.

And go Kalimyre! She got, like, a dozen stories up here. Like I said, though, she totally deserves it. ^__^ And Indy, Cae and Emily, too! *squishes to all my peeps*

[sungreen70.livejournal.com]

Well deserved :) One of my favorite stories ever. And yes, Kalimyre's stuff is awesome and I love, worship, adore Palaver!

[indybaggins.livejournal.com]

*squish*!!

[clayangel.livejournal.com]

^___^

[pdglyph.livejournal.com]

Congrats, Clay! Totally earned the top spot *nods sagely with Glyph*

Please, keep the awesome WIN <3

[clayangel.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you. ^__^

[caelith.livejournal.com]

OMG! RB came second!! \o/

*Does a rather embarrassing dance of glee*

Thank you time a bajillion people!!

Congrats to everyone too. There's a lot of talent in that list x

[clayangel.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! ^_^

[sungreen70.livejournal.com]

Yay for Ryan's Books! You know... that story should really have a sequel *whistles innocently*

[pdglyph.livejournal.com]

RB's is amazing! It's so amazing there should be a sequal! Oh wait, there is, and you're being a big tease!

Congratulations, hon, totally earned it ^__^ *joins Sungreen in the whistling*

[saiya-tina.livejournal.com]

Wow, I'm actually number 8! Awesome! I must admit, that was totaly unexpected, but I'm so glad to know that people actually like the story this much! Congrats to all the authors, and especially to you, Clay, for managing to organize this so well!

[sungreen70.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[saiya-tina.livejournal.com]

Thank you

[clayangel.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you. ^_^ And congrats to you, too!

[pdglyph.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, honey! You toally earned it, your writing is growing in leaps and bounds and it's getting fuckin fabulous!

Proud to know you!
<3

[indybaggins.livejournal.com]

A Die? *laughs* Well, I'm very honored that I got third place among all these great writers :) I'm really happy to see all these awesome people up there! x

[sungreen70.livejournal.com]

A Die is awesome! It's definitely different from what your style became later, but as one of the people who nommed it, that story is one of my all time favorites. I will have more things to say about it later when we start a discussion post, but - I'm really glad it did so well :)

[indybaggins.livejournal.com]

I guess I was really surprised because I certainly think of it as one of my "practice" stories before I could comfortably write in English. But of course thank you for nominating me! *g*

And congrats on Nocturne!!! I was very pleased to see that one up there!

[sungreen70.livejournal.com]

Well, I continue to be surprised at how well received "Fireworks" is, lol. I wrote that one in literally about two hours in one sitting. I guess you never know what will strike a chord with other people!

*hugs Nocturne* That story means the world to me, and you're a big part of that, so thank YOU for pushing me along in the right direction!

[saiya-tina.livejournal.com]

Nocturne was amazing! I loved that story too!

[sungreen70.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! :D

[pdglyph.livejournal.com]

We've already gushed so much about how A Die was a major influence on us, but once again, it's a beautiful fic, and you're an amazing person ^__^

Congrats!
<3

[indybaggins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *blushes*

[pdglyph.livejournal.com]

PD: OMG no way! I can tell you now, I've read most of those stories and they sooooooooo deserve to be on this list. A bit confused as to how His Killer Sense of Humor got on there, but I blushed and squeed anyway ^__^ XD TOTALLY thrown by Don't Stand So Close to Me, who the HELL dug that shit up?

Still blaming Cappy for the fluff, angst, and wayyyy too much drawn out sexual tension- actually, that was probably my fault... nah, it was ours XDDD!!

Glyph: Since I'm pretty much Silent Bob-

PD: OMG she is, just realized that XD

Glyph: ANYWAY, (no beard, not gonna) that's just wow! I recognize so many, and many were on my list, too. Congrats to everybody ^__^ all of it is some amazing work

<3

[livingsasquatch.livejournal.com]

I was one of the people who nominated Don't Stand So Close to Me :) I thought it was a great story!

[pdglyph.livejournal.com]

Don't mind me, I'm just a social clutz *facepalm* Thank you so much for reading and enjoying the stuff we've put out!

[sungreen70.livejournal.com]

A bit confused as to how His Killer Sense of Humor got on there

Because that story is made of win, and has one of the best Colins ever written in fanfic. Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so.

And yay for Don't Stand So Close To Me! That was my Secret Santa gift a few years back. I remember receiving the file from Indy and being all "HOLY CRAP!!! My Santa wrote me a novel!!!" Then I dove into the story and was all "HOLY CRAP! My Santa RAAAAWWWWKKKKSSSS!!!!!"

[pdglyph.livejournal.com]

Bawwww :"> cool =^___^=

That story was SO much fun to write, you have no idea! I was like 'We should write a prison fic...'

Glyph looks at me funny 'We don't know how to do a prison fic'

'Fine, a juvenile prison,'

'K'

You rock, girl, srsly *squeed huggle tackles you* LOVE!

[draconica-nova.livejournal.com]

I'm so pleased to see that some of my favourites have done so well! And it seems that I have a plethora of reading and re-reading to do. Pass me that coffee and sugar, I'll be here all night. ^^

Thanks for the expert organising, Clay! And here's hoping we last another five. :D

[newbiepoet.livejournal.com]

*shakes head at self in disgraced manner* this has gone entirely over my head for the past few weeks! i've stumbled back in here and kicked myself.

suffice to say; warmest congratulations to everyone who is on this list, i think your all fantastic writers, and i wish i could write as well as you guys one day. serious, y'all wipe the floor with other fandom writers.
