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

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 ;)*

The next contestant is... Maya!

Pick your favourite Maya fic. Remember, no story-bashing (we have a place for that, hpbnfdm_lives) but do tell us why it's your favourite, as this is a sneaky way to prod for reviews. amanuensis1 gets the blame for the fact we do accept write-ins. Lots of them. But please no more split votes! *whimper*

Well, I've done two major Harry/Snape writers this week (don't worry, I'll get to Telanu), so it's time for something completely different. mistful has a gift for rich characterisations and hilarious dialogue.

Draco Malfoy The Amazing Bouncing... Rat?
Underwater Light
Shadow And Flame Flame And Shadow *snickers* I think this was a Lord of the Rings leakage. (Thanks to isiscolo for the correction. *blushes*)

*Starting gun* And they're off!

The write-ins have begun:
Dark Side Of Light
Your Every Wish
The Professionals Guide To Badgering
Loved Those Of Great Ambition
Hatred
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Badger

You can still vote, but the results are in!

Other votes: Anna, Amanuensis, Rushlight, Sushi, Aspen, Cybele, and Cassandra Claire.

??!

I got my challenge for the Ron Ficathon.

Ron/Hermione.
Not relationship centric. Someone's complicated plot-bunny that doesn't grab me at all.

Can't I do Hagrid/Buckbeak again?

*Looks at challenge like it's cold oatmeal.*
