Congratulations to all of our finalists! Congratulations to the 33 nominees, as well (If you would like to know how many votes you got, I'd be happy to tell you; Just say the word)! And a huge 'Thank You' to everyone who voted! But enough of our celebrations. Lets not dawdle about this.

Rules. Now, these rules are VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY important. Some people haven't followed certain rules, just simple ones, like PMing, and voting for stories on the list. Little things like that.

But also big things. Like voting twice, under two user names and two reviews on the anonymous review system, so that I'll think two separate reviewers have voted. You're all down with this information, right? After the last chapter? Yeah, the one where I came off as a PMSing, psycho, stressed, teenage lunatic. Thats the one.

Well, after that chapter, nobody else cheated. So, anons, you can all vote! ANONS ARE ALLOWED TO VOTE! I repeat, THEY ARE ALLOWED TO VOTE! And it'd be cool if ALL you guys (anons AND accounts) could actually read the rules this time :)

Rule Number...
1) You may vote for the three stories that you think are the best SG fics of 2011. No more the three.
2) A maximum of three votes per person. No being sneaky, and switching to another anon name after you've already voted, or I'll cut all of your votes out of the pool
3) If you have an account, VOTE VIA A PM. If you don't have an account, vote via a review, on this chapter only.
4) Voting for the winners ends on the 2nd of February, and the chapter revealing which story wins the competition will come out on the 4th.

I think thats it :) Good luck to all the finalists, and to all you Aussies out there, Happy Australia Day, and Cherish your last 10 or so days of summer holidays ;)
