Our next candidate: Aspen!

[icarus]

This is extremely difficult to choose, because cursescar is prolific, varied, and an excellent writer. Okay, once again, vote for your favourite Aspen story, tell us why, and if you want to slam one story over another, put on your boxing gloves and go to hpbnfdm_lives. Write-in votes are accepted, and with Aspen I expect a lot of them.

Confection Carnage
Daisychain!Draco
If That Mockingbird Won't Sing

And the write-ins have begun! *knew this would happen*
You're Sixteen, (You're Beautiful, And You're Mine)
Bittersweet
Just A Boy
Quicksilver
Into The Fire
Close Kept

ETA: Even more write-ins. *Icarus gets out the abacus.* This is fun!

You can still vote, but the results are in!

Other votes -
Maya, Amanuensis, Rushlight, Sushi, Anna, Cybele, and Cassandra Claire.

In a way you just did, since Aspen is reading this. ;) Which is sort of the point of the entire contest, to weigh which stories are the most successful. Sometimes it's not the highest-quality writing. Where is that essence that really 'works' for the readers?

Icarus

Really? Excellent. *thumbs up picture*

I mean, Daisychain and company are going to be popular because they were so original (and originality is the essence of the fandom,) but I don't read Harry/Sirius, and I loved Sixteen so it gets my vote. But I also love Snarry, so it was a heartwrenching struggle.

Much props to you for the fun, and the huge compliment it is to the author, and stuff.
