Hi guys! I’ve re-opened the Forums. (It’s still “Staff Forums” under the header, mainly because I haven’t had time to change it yet.) Please go there to discuss any suggestions for Round 3 and future rounds. Hopefully, this doesn’t eat up my bandwidth. If it does, I’ll have to close it down and keep it staff-only.

I’m in the middle of updating Beta-Readers, One-Shot Archive entries, etc., so please be patient. I haven’t forgotten about you guys! Things are just going to be really tough until December.

Oh yeah! In December and January, I’ll be interviewing and accepting applications for a co-admin. The application isn’t up yet, but if you’re interested, you’ll have to have a decent understanding of Wordpress, html, and FTP.

I’ve realized that running the awards during school just takes up too much time and I’ll definitely be needing more help.

And now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for!

Before I announce the winners, I’d like to apologize to anybody who’s submitted a Beta-Reader Application or a story for the One-Shot Archive. Unfortunately, with school and the current round, I wasn’t even able to look at the applications. No worries, though. Since the Breaking Dawn Round is over, I’ll have more time to go through those apps. We’ll also be taking suggestions for Round 3 which starts… wow, next month!

Okay, here are the BANNERS for our winners. Thanks to Amelie for making them! If anybody wants a banner for their stories, she would be happy to make them one. Please email her here: amelie-s@web.de
