Dos anybody know who won the august one?? I can't find the results anywhere...

I don't think Yuri has posted the results yet. Last I heard, she was still waiting on some votes.

August

Hey guys! I apologize for the delay with posting these results. I hope everyone's summer was fun, and I understand that many of you will be going back to school. I'd like to thank those of you who are for your continued participation in this contest. Once again, I'd also like to thank iSparrow for without her, we'd all die. Also a big thanks to the Judges. And without further delay, the results...

So congratulations to the winner, Hope it Give you Hell by Silverlily AKA BloodMoon!

This piece of work is absolutely hilarious, showing us puzzleshippers the comical side of our beloved pairing.

The October nominees thread is going up now! Make sure to add your input, for maybe YOUR nomination will win! See you all next month!

Hurray and congrats for SilverLily!!! *applause and fireworks* I'm so happy this one won! =D

Congrats to Silverlily!!! =D *throws confetti*

/sneaks up behind Toya and steals her confetti to throw/

Congrats SilverLily!

*snickers as she sneaks up behind Darkie and Toya, stealing their confetti* Yay! Congrats to Silverlily!

Congrats, Silverlily! I absolutely love that story!

Aw, crap, I forgot to vote! Ah... actually, I would've voted for Silverlily's story anyway, so it's not like it would've made a difference. xD Congrats!

YES!!!! YES!!!!! I love that story! Congrats silverlily! I think this story has such a wonderful blend of angst, drama, romance, and just plain old crazyness. I love how Yami calls Yugi "Kitten". Absolute delight to read! Definitely the hardest month (for me anyway). There were so many great stories there. Wow. Can't wait to see the list for next month!

I know, AYA! I love how the nickname "kitten" has so many meanings depending on how Yami uses it. It's such a great story. ^^

October

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Halloween! So, funny story. I was just tallying the votes and in my mind, I'm like 'huh, I wonder who won this month. There were certainly a lot of nominees to pick from.' So here I am, minding my own business, when I come across the last vote and all of a sudden my face goes like '0.o'.

I'll let you guys see why for yourselves.

Yup. You read that write. We have ourselves a THREE-way tie. Oh, the suspense!

You know what you have to do judges! Sumbit your (ONE) vote to me in the next 48 hours stating which story you believe should take home the crown (not really) for the month of October.

Will it be 'A Game Of Masques', 'Fall Into Place', or 'Mistaken Assumptions'? The world may never know.

Anyways, you have the next two days to submit your votes, which I will then post up in this thread. And your time starts....NOW!

O.O Holy hell! I'm on it. *laughs*

:jawdrops: How the HECK did that happen! hey yuri i have a question? I love this, but how do you join it to become a member? I only ask cuz so far i get the revies and messages but I'm not sure if I'm eligable to vote or not, save what i post here? any information? Oh and if i can still vote, i vote for mistaken assumptions. No offence to the other two fics, but Tavi's newest fic is just..wow! they need to come up with a new word in the dictionary to describe how good it is!

Wow, a three way tie! And they are all so good too. *strats thinking*

Yup, TN, all you have to do is confirm with me that you want to be a judge, read the nominees every month, and send in your vote by the deadline. The only reason your vote is ineligible for the tie-breaker is because you didn't vote for the actual month in October. But you can start participating this month!

Well i have expected that. Okay, sign me up! Just make sure i get all the nomaniees and deadline dates as soon as possible. I have a shit load of stuff to do for collage this month (good news I get a week off for thanksgiving; bad news everything needs to be done before then).

But I'd love to be a judge, and maybe even read some new puzzleshipping every month. Obviously though i get nominated i can't vote for myself. LOL. Thanks yugi (hug)

OMG! Is the time up?! Craaaap!! Damn this internet!! I didn't get to vote because the thing desided to quit working for days!! *cries*

IT'S NOT FAIIIIR!! *head desk* .... *looks up* At least I'll get to vote for the november winner!

lol, nevermind! I VOTED!! ^^

And oh my god, I had sucha hard time picking between those three!! But I did it!

October Tie-Breaker

Hi all! Thanks to all the Judges who got their vote in on time. =)

So, I'll cut to the chase. The winner of the October tie-breaker is A Game of Masques by Silvershadowfire, who beat out Mistaken Assumptions and Fall Into Place by a 4-3-1 vote. Congratulations to the winner, who will now be added to the Competitors of 2009 thread for its chance to be the Best Puzzleshipping Story of 2009! What a great story, indeed!

Thanks again to everyone who participated! We have two more spots open for the year! See you all in the November Nominees Thread!

=D Congrats to silvershadowfire!!! *throws confetti*

Yay! I love that story! /releases secret stash of balloons with Yugioh character faces on them/

*steals Toya's confetti* Yay! I so love that fic!

Oh duh, congrats to Silvershadowfire! Sorry, forgot to say that. *grins*

*raises hands in air* Yes! I love that story! =D Congrats Silvershadowfire!=D *applause and fireworks*

Congrats, Silvershadowfire! It really is a great story!

*grabs confetti and starts throwing it with Natoya and Tavi and blows a noisemaker* WAHOO! Congrats! That must've been a tough vote

November

Oh! Wow, December already? Hope everyone's having an awesome winter so far! I'm here, as always, to announce the winner for the month of November!

Now before that, I would like to give a little outline to what's going to happen this month since it's a little different than the rest. This month, Judges have to get their votes in by the 20th. Why, you ask? Because the 21st, the winner is going up. And then the following week will be the week Judges are given to narrow down the final 11 monthly winners until their is only 1. This week gives Judges the opportunity to read some stories over and it'll also give them the time necessary to make such a difficult decision (since I know it'll be just that). These votes will be due December 31st, and then the winner of the BPS of 2009 will go up January 1st! Then we'll start this all over again!!

Now that you all have been instructed to what's going on this month, here's your winner!

Oh! And a big thanks to iSparrow as always for taking the time to put up the links for the nominees! =)

/conjures up her own batch of shiny metallic confetti and throws it in the air/ Congrats Edmondia!

:D Oooh, I'm glad Edmondia won. That story's pretty old, but it still manages to really reach out to me. She's such a brilliant writer.

(Also, Yuri - First off, it's my pleasure :) and second, should I still put up the nominees on December 15? Did that date change, or is it the same? And will I be linking the final yearly nominations in a thread, too?)
