And the winners are...

Well me, for one. The COA results are in.

Bring Me The Head of Harry Potter has won the award for best portrayal of Angel/Angelus (and yes, they both appear). It won by a margin of 49 votes, which is pretty good.


The Key to Byzantium won for best portrayal of Fred / Illyria, which is odd because she's only in a couple of chapters. The statistics on that one are staggering - 207 votes, more than double its nearest rival.


Omphalos has won the moderator award for best SF. The citation for this one is very nice.

Which leaves me winning three awards from twelve nominations accepted. It's a little worrying that none of these are new stories, and I'm a little disappointed that The Right Technology and Dead Trouble were voted off the island in all categories, but such is life. I'll make another post when I've checked the statistics for my non-winners.

Many thanks to anyone who's voted for me, and congratulations to everyone else who has won awards, in particular curiouswombat for Return of the Key.

Well done you - and thank you!

It's one of the few winners I enjoyed - I'm at a loss to explain some of the others.

Congrats on the COA wins! *hugs*

I came in dead last in the category I was nominated in (best new author). I could not be more proud in the voters' overall judgment in that respect. ;)

I suspect many voters didn't pay too much attention to whatever category a given story was nominated in, and simply voted for the one they liked best. I too was kind of puzzled when Key to Byzantium got nominated for Best Illyria.

The Right Technology deserved to do better. I nominated it in Best Comedy and Best of British. :) I also nominated Nine Lives for best non-crossover. Here's hoping for next year! :)

The teensy amount of fanfic I write these days. I probably won't have many eligible stories. But thanks anyway!

Thanks - you should have done considerably better.

Congrats! I haven't been reading much fanfic the last couple of years, but "Omphalos" is one of the best I've ever seen, in any category. It really opened my eyes to what was possible with Dawn.

I also enjoyed "Bring Me The Head of Harry Potter" despite getting a bit of a brain ache reading it because I've never read the Harry Potter books :)

Thanks - and my commiserations on your lack of awards, there seems to have been some VERY odd voting this year.
