Annnnd the winner is... the favourite Sushi story.

[icarus]

Okay, guys, the polls have closed, the vote was tight (and funny). New rule: no more 1/2 and 1/3 votes! Icarus' math is not that good. ;)

Beating its nearest competitor by a nose, the winner is:

Civil War

... with 8 5/6 votes (like I said, no more 1/2 votes...)

In Academia ran a close second with 8 votes (including two half votes)
The Last Dance was third with 4 5/6 votes (Icarus goes cross-eyed)
The Beast fourth with 4 (a mercifully round number)

Write-ins did well -
Flight garnered three votes (well, two, but I count the author's vote as two)
Shedding Skin two votes

One vote each for the following -
Two note, many who voted for Civil War give this story a nod.
Fire Burn and Cauldron Double
Welcome to my Nightmare
The Consequences Of A Weary Mind

And I want to apologise to you all. I completely forgot about -

Harry Potter And The Mai Tai Of Doom

A sad, sad oversight on my part. *Icarus votes for Mai Tai ;)*

Ah! I haven't read any of Sushi's major works so I didn't feel qualified to vote, but you're SO right; I should have voted for Mai Tai anyway, if I'd thought of it.

I was wondering why you didn't vote (worried that you might have missed it). Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow. ;)

Er. Regarding the hpbnfdm_lives. You realise of course that wikdsushi promised me an actual 12 volume set of her next fic and you see, I've already got the shelf space cleared....

I'm up against Sushi??? Oh, that's wonderful! I can lose to a true icon in fandom and that's SUCH a relief! ^_^

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

She gives good bribes, too. *points to long line of people lined up for free alcohol -- the way to the voting booths.*

Actually, I think you might be winning. Oh, to have math skills. ;)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Ha! I very much doubt that. You are too solid an icon--and one of the SWEETEST people! Couldn't imagine a nicer contestant to lose to; mmmmmwah!

[wikdsushi.livejournal.com]

Is it just me, or did CW win by the sheer might of its steamroller-like mass? ;)

Now I want a mai tai. (It'll help with the twelve volumes.)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Yes, I imagine so. :) But I have to read Flight now. When I'm done with these contests I'll have to ask authors what little-read fic of theirs do they particularly like. Mine is Sweet Hypocrisy (http://www.restrictedsection.org/), Snape/Percy.

...Sushi wrote Mai Tai of Doom? *also votes for it, sekritly*
