Congratulations to everybody who won! My sincerest gratitude goes out to all my judges and to my wonderful graphics team for all their hard work this past year. Without them, none of this would be possible.
Round 13 has started at LLGA, starting today. There are a couple category changes...
There are no longer categories for Best Romance and Best William Fic. I decided to cut the romance category, basically because it was a) far too subjective what's considered romantic, and b) impossible to divide up without infringing upon other category descriptions. In the end, I decided it was pretty much superfluous. William is gone, not because I don't love him, but because there isn't enough fic being generated to merit an entire year.
In their place, I've added Best Plot and Best Villain. I think there will be some interesting nominations as a result!
Stop on by and nominate!
