Good job everyone!

I want to congratulate all the winners of this summer challenge.

Your stories were excellent and made me laugh, cry, swoon, pout, melt, bite my nails and knuckles, swoon some more, yell, hide, mouth water, scream (not at you, just the characters), remelt and gave me immense pleasure in feeling all those emotions. Thank you for gracing us with your talent in creating these amazing stories of our favorite team and original characters. I shall remember them for years to come and pull out my printed copies from time to time and indulge in rereading them.

Now, I also want to say a big hearted thank you to everyone who entered the summer challenge. There were so many stories and as far as I'm concerned they were all fantastic. Two observatons: first, it was hard to keep up with reading all of them. I am a living testimony that reading this many stories at one time definitely will improve ones memory; it certainly improved mine to be able to remember which plot went to whose story. Second, it was very difficult to decide which ones were my favorites. Just know that I loved them all and thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your marvelous talent!

And, of course, I cannot leave out all the delicious recipes included in each story! I'm slowly trying to work my way thru them; after all, I would hate to put on those extra pounds all at once!

Lastly, I want to thank the Admin staff and moderators, especially those who thought up this challenge. It was really unique and I know a lot of thought and hard work went into preparation for this challenge. Here's to you!

Congrats to all the winners and to everyone who entered the challenge, I want to say that everyone did a wonderful job. I don't think I've found so many wonderful stories in one place before. It was very difficult to choose on the ballot, so if you didn't win, please try again. Callenges are addicting... like potato chips... you can't have just one!

This was a truly delightful challenge. Everybody's story participation is much appreciated and my recipe box thanks you all for the wonderful new recipes!
