The 2008 Golden Pen Awards ~ Results!
Once a year, us fanficcers compete
for the glory of the Golden Pen Awards.
To win is an extraordinary feat
With satisfaction its own sweet reward.
Congratulations to all those who won
A title or two – and I’m sure you’ll agree
That praise should be especially heaped on
Our Awards Award winner, who won twenty.
But winning is not everything in this sport.
Thanks go to readers, voters, everyone –
Without our fanficcers’ valuable support
These awards could never be so smoothly run.
To every fanficcer may we shout three cheers:
