IYFG: Best of 2008

[luxken27]

Now comes time for "Best of the Year," when all of the winners from the previous quarters are polled together to determine who wins the year, so to speak. I have one dog in this race - Memento Mori, for Best Oneshot - but considering the very steep competition its up against, I expect it to fail as spectacularly as it did this go around for Best Romance (Inu/Kag).

...I never knew I had so many heavy-weights on my f-list! Wow!

I've got most of them on my list, too. It's probably because so many of the IY authors are such nice people and fun to talk to as well as read.

Or it could be that I'm just a stalker. :snicker:

(thanks for pimping the IYFG a hell of a lot better than I do most days. I really appreciate it)
