[Trout]

I'm particularly pleased to see wins for Dom, Sturm and Dang, Leviathan and Prog 1360, all of which I voted for.

Hooray!

- Trout

[Dudley]

Unhappy with the results for best new anything - criteria need to be tightened up a bit next year!

Other than that, TAKE A BOW, BOLT-01 AND THE SLIPPERY ONE, for all your hard work and dedication to the cause!




Oh, and someone find a carrier pigeon and let the winners know...

[Dudley]

Oh, and how on EARTH could anyone seriously think Synnamon was worse than Dead Man Walking?  

Boo Cook art or no Boo Cook art, DMW was the steamingest pile of wank it's ever been my misfortune to read.

[Art]

Yeah, tahts pretty much the only one of the bunch I'd really question. I can only asusme that the vote was split by peoples hatred for Slaine, Durham Red and DMW and Synammon sneaked through...

[Quirkafleeg]

I'd like to accept my award on behalf of Dom's artwork

[Trout]

Gary's is well-deserved, too.

SCANDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY DIDN'T FROM GRACE WIN BEST ONE OFF!  RECOUNT!  SHINANIGANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Satanist]

Aaaaaaaaaargh!!!The Statue Garden!!!
I saw the end of that coming a week before I read it.

Apart from that fair enough

[DavidXBrunt]

Cornell and Cook shouldn't have been eligable for best new anything, really. Out of interest who came second in those categories?

[JTurner]

Synnamon's creators should have won the most improved Droid award. Why Synnamon was even put up for this 'award' is beyond me, there was far worse stuff around.

[Slippery PD]

In defence of the awards and this is what happens when we run this.  Many of the awards are prevoted for, see the previous nomination threads for details.

Now I was under the impression that Paul Cornell had done no strip work before?  But the Boo Cook one I agree with and also Synamon.  But Im only norris mcwhirter here.......  Dont blame the messenger, you lot voted for them....

Yer Slips

[paulvonscott]

Cheers for the votes for Solar Wind chaps, much appreciated.  All the fanzines nominated were good anyway (I buy 'em) so it's all pretty much of a sameness!

Issue 3 is currently being worked on and there is some very funny material being lined up before it goes on sale (hopefull) a bit before Bristol.  We're also hoping to get out a spin off called Sunny for Girls, which I'm still looking for artists for by the way!

Cheers again

Paul
