Thank you to all the wonderful authors who participated in the 2005 Valentine Challenge!

We are in the process of compiling the best scenes from those amazing stories and will open polls so you can vote for your favorites. As I mentioned before, those are the categories that will be opened for voting:

Best Warm and Fuzzy moment
Best Funny moment
Best Cliff-hanger
Best Story


Thank you for your patience and I am hoping to figure out the next seasonal challenge soon.

Is there a best new writer?

Next seasonal challenge could be april fools, who could pull the best joke.

lilsmoochiegirl, there is no best new writer because the contest was hosted on both the Eye in FBI and this forum and that would make them all new authors anyways on the Eye .... so the point was slightly moot.

And treenie, excellent idea!!!

I know this is taking a long time - but my real life has started butting in in the form of overtime - which is a good thing if you consider it allows me some breathing room.

I am sorry this is taking so long but this is not forgotten - only a little postponed. The votes will open though I just won't state a date not to disappoint anyone and make a liar out of myself.

I finally did it! This was so hard to select which scenes to put up for nomination because there were so many great moments that I ended up having about 25 selections for each category... so I had to cut down until I had a more reasonable number of selections.

Thank you all for your patience and votes will remain open until April 16, 2005. So this gives you all about 1 month to vote. Which is good since you only get one vote!

Best of luck to all the authors and thank you for your participation!
