::Michaelangelo saunters on stage wearing a tuxedo, and hands Dawnatello
an
envelope::
::Dawnatello stands there motionless and stares at the envelope for
a darn
long time, just for drama::
Okay, before I open the envelope, I'd like to say that all of the votes
were VERY close. And everyone has done an excellent job in writing
their fanfics. Even if you aren't on this final list, your efforts
are very much appreciated. Fanfiction is a creative expression of
ourselves. It allows us to see the characters in ways that other
mediums don't cover.
We put them through torment and pain, but we also give them hope and
triumph.
Fanfiction creates scenarios that give new life to the characters we
write about, and isn't that what we're all about anyway, keeping the TMNT
alive?
So everyone who has written a story, give yourself a pat on the back.
We're all winners. ;)
Okay...now to the envelope...
::Clears throat and tears open the envelope::
