Okay, I've got a couple:

Most Original Fiction: Queen of Games

Best New Fiction: Pokemon: Empire of the Sun

Best Newcomer to the Boards: Duellist Royal


I might make some more nominations later.

I'd like to see more people nominate.

Brian, I agree with most of your nominations, but I don't understand your choice of Lisa the Legend for "Best Fiction Overall". I read that whole fic, and I've never seen any chapter about overalls.



Uh, sorry... Bad joke... Please forgive me...

[Chris 2.1]

Will add some ficcy ones later.....need to start reading some fics :/
