WOW! I was really surprised to see RTSB when I scrolled down! Any one of those blogs could have won and I wouldn't have been surprised. I've read each of them at times and they're excellent, compelling soaps, all far more compelling than the trash that gets put on the air.

Of course Tuc won and I fired him in 2007! Ain't that always the way it goes?

Congratulations to all of the winners.

And thanks SO MUCH to the voters who did all of that reading and judging for us. Your time & work is greatly appreciated. I think we'd all love to hear some of your analysis of the submissions, since we didn't know who was judging before.

Big CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners!!!!!!!! You all worked so hard so you guys deserve this, every single one of you!

But congratulations to the nominees as well and even if you didn't win it doesn't mean your blog is bad or anything. Everyone did so good, not just the winners.

Can't wait until next year!

Thanks to R!ck, and the judges who all took much time to choose nominees, and eventually do the hard work of choosing winners. I can't thank you enough for how much you have done.

Initially, I was sending Rick analysis of what I thought of the scenes. I was picturing them in my head, but then I thought it was silly since it was just my perception.

Overall, I enjoyed reading the stories. Especially the ones which went into detail.

Congrats to all the winners! It definitely wasn't an easy choice, as we have so many talented writers here. I also look forward to keeping with quite few of these blogs. I was blown away. Good work and congrats again,

[bellcurve]

Overall, I enjoyed reading the stories. Especially the ones which went into detail.

I second that! I have to say I am, overall, satisfied with all the winners and I have to say everyone's hard work on their blogs is fantastic. Something that takes a lot of patience, skill, and time.

The greatest people are all of you guys who put your work out there! So, kudos to all!
