Voting for Fabled Wings's Amaranth.

Shoutouts: Ziven, Shujinkakusama, Mandolina Lightrobber. Fantastic work, all.

I'll vote for Problem.

Nice job everyone! I was really impressed with this round's entries!

I'm going to have to go with Darkrunner's Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Great job, guys! I can't give shout-outs to everyone, but I'm impressed. You guys sold me on this pairing.

Sorry I'm late D: I loved OxEyed's Chain, so that's where my vote's going!

My vote goes to Mandolina Lightrobber's Fly-Away Butterfly, for irrevocably colouring everything I read after it.

Shoutout to darkrunner's Are You Afraid of the Dark?

It was tough, but I'm giving a vote to Blind Intersection.

I'm hoping for some last minute votes to come through - but if not, the judging will close tomorrow and the tiebreaker will be put up.

The judging is almost ready to go up - I'm waiting for Sierra's Darkness, who had to get an emergency extension. My apologies - I thought I had mentioned it before. I'm waiting to hear back from her now to see how things are. As soon as I get notice, I'll have it up!

Aaaaand.... we're back in business! You guys did pretty well - I know this isn't as easy as it first seems!

On your mark, get set - start judging!

Your votes will be due on Monday, June 4th. Good luck, everyone!

I vote for OxEyed's Killing Narcissus, and also apologize for inadvertantly copying the title. It was completely subconscious, I swear. I was titling my fic early in the morning (slighty after) it was due, and just threw some kind of progressive verb with Agamemnon. I will change it as soon as voting ends. I just don't want to confuse anything right now.

My vote goes to Chicary's Deny the Reeds for the splendid story-telling and the awesome re-imagining of the Ancient Egyptian afterworld.

Also, a shout-out to OxEyed's Killing Narcissus for a truly stunning piece of work. It was soul-wrenching hard to choose between the two.

Also, @ Darkrunner - don't worry about your title. It's not even that similar, really. At least, it went right over my head and I didn't even think about it until you brought it up. This contest has had fics with titles where only one word is different submitted for the same rounds. Everyone knows that it's just a coincidence and no one is going to jump on you for title-copying or somesuch. Coincidences happen. Relax. :)

What Mandolina said.

Anyhow, I'm voting for yllimilly's Love Thyself, with shout-outs to Mandolina and MMF. (Although everyone did a great job!)

Voting for Ubiquity by Doubleplusgoodduckspeaker. Honestly difficult decision this round.

Voting for If Not You by Higurazel. Shout-out to Black Sheep by Shujinkakusama.

Darkshadowrose1 - Storyteller

Palimpsest by My Misguided Fairytale, please.

I'm going for Darkrunner's Murdering Agamemnon! Great work this round, everyone--it was a tough choice!

Voting for I Was An Abyss Once.

I Was An Abyss Once

I really enjoyed reading the entries this week :DDD My vote will be for Chicary's Deny the Reeds.

Voting for Shujinkakusama's Black Sheep.

Shoutouts: DarkShadowRose1 and Doubleplusgoodduckspeaker.

Deny the Reeds

Man, am I sorry I had to drop out this round due to RL issues! The fics are fantastic.

ARGH! A lot of these were really good!

Final Answer: I'm voting for Milly's Love Thyself.

Again, sorry about last weekend - and now, for that matter. It's been busy in a lot of aspects of RL for me, as you can probably tell - and that's not to mention some of the technical online issues I've been having!

... But enough about me. This is about you guys, right?

So here we are:
