A few months ago we thought it was a crazy idea... it evolved into an epic quest for just the right logic... then once we were up and running the hours of validations and constant checks and balances were filled with wonder whenever we came across a true gem, and frustration when we realized it really was a LOT of work!
The winners will receive banners specially made for them by
angstgoddess003 and t-shirts courtesy of WeBook Apparel (
http://webookapparel.com). Thanks to both for their donations!
It is with great pleasure and even more excitement that we announce the winners of the Summer '09 Indie Twific Awards!

In addition to the winners selected by Voting via the readers, our panel of judges selected stories that deserve a recognition of merit as being amazing examples of Indie fics. These stories were selected from the full list of nominees (over 700 stories) that were part of our Summer '09 cycle.
The winners of the
Judges Awards for Special Merit are:
Ars Moriendi by
vanilladoubleshot
Commission by
SpikeIsHotter
Detriut by
Somah
Endless Daylight by
Princess Bertha
Sleepers, Awake: Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme by
Feisty Y. Beden
Someone Else’s Memoirs by
a certain slant of light
To say that we are thankful for the participation during this cycle is an understatement. We had over an outstanding number of users registered during the whole process, the final round of voting pulled in over 1700 users alone! For a second we thought we would not surpass the amount of votes we got during the 1st round but we did, by a really healthy margin!
Thank you to every one of you that voted, to everyone that mentioned the awards and supported what we wanted to do. In the end we feel that we met our goal, and that is to highlight the amazing fics out there that may not get all the recognition they deserved.
We encourage you to bookmark our site as we will keep an
Archive of all the stories nominated. That is truly the greatest result from this cycle.
Also, we have set up a C2 in Fanfiction.net for the stories that can be found there. You can visit and subscribe by clicking
