Okey Dokey, guys. (Lets ignore the fact that I was two days late, okay guys? *nervous grin*) The votes are all in, and I'm pleased to say that the rate of cheating has decreased immensely since the third chapter, although there were some. Their votes were disqualified.
So, we had a really cool top thirteen. A lot of great stories there. Seriously, they were all pretty great, regardless of whether they were an epic-fic or a one-shot. So, to anyone who isn't in the top 3, you still were chosen as the BEST THIRTEEN stories written in the SG fandom this year (Really, man, thats pretty awesome), and you're all amazing. A round of applause for our thirteen finalists!
But there can only be one... Only one that is the bestest of them all...
So, without any further delay:
In 3rd place is...
"Just Tell Me The Truth", by ahack6. Congratulations ahack, on coming in third place!
In 2nd place is...
"Normal, At Least, I Hope So", by Epiphany On Toast
AND
"The City of Lights", by yellow.r0se
"Normal At Least, At Least, I Hope So", and "The City of Lights" came in equal place, with the same number of votes. So fantastic job, guys! You're equal second :)
And finally, the bestest Sisters Grimm story, written and published in the year 2011 is...
*drumroll*
"For the First Time", by Lara D! *drags Lara up onto the podium*
Lara: SQUEEEEE! I'd just like to thank-
No time for speeches, Lara. I need to go to bed. *cheesy grin**laughtrack*(Yes, I know, I'm hilarious, I know this. No need to throw those roses at me...)
But a big pat on the back for Lara D! You gave metaphorical birth to the best story of last year! Well done, man. I'm sure you're a very proud mother.
And thats the end... for this year... The end of the competition... well, best of luck for 2012, the end of the world :) I'm looking forward to seeing your happy fac-...emoticons at next years comp.
(And if you really love me (Ha, who WOULDN'T?), and love hearing from me (Again, who wouldn't?) then you should read my epic-fic: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder, which I will be updating regularly*** Also, subscribe to my channel and buy my merchandise *cheesy grin and wink*)
So, goodbye everyone. Happy 'Pay a Compliment' Day, and 'Wear Red' day.

P.S No animals were harmed in the making of this competition, except for Davros, Elli's bird, who had to suffer being neglected whilst she was writing it and counting the votes.
P.S.S I'm not really full of myself. When I make these jokes, I'm actually making fun of Reality TV hosts. Just to clear the water. :)
