The banners were made by the fabulous
DazedRose. She has been so wonderful to help with graphics for the contest
every time. She did the original avi and banners for the
blog. She has done banners for promo stories. She has created the theme for the banners the
past two years. So she rocks!

Northwoman’s
pick
This is always difficult
for me with so many stories I like and for various reasons. I begin by rereading some favorites and then select one. I ended up picking a story I felt deserved more recognition, highly rated, even though it was not first or second.
I also want to thank
everyone who helped us so much; the authors, the judges, the readers, and
awesome graphics from DazedRose. I had
help from many people who had previously hosted contests with information on
hosting, and judging & scoring. I thank you all so much as it wouldn’t have
been possible without you.
Of course, it all started
with an idea from my friend, Alison (Northman Maille) who had such a great
concept with music..
