Story of the Year 2011 : Results pg 1, detailed res pg 2

[Fresh8]

I put my votes in.

In the unlikely event ALIB III wins, it would be back to back wins for one story and three-peat for the storymaker... But like my real life idols, I think I am going to fall short to badreligionau

[kibaxx7]

Really, really happy to be in the Top 3 But IMO, as X said, yeah, it's definitely a two-horse race.

[Martti.]

After 9 people have cast their votes (including all finalists excluding me), and I have to say, it's been quite surprising so far. Don't want to give anything away yet though, so keep voting.

[Fresh8]

I smell a Thierry win...

[Axel The Great]

Last year my Rockets dynasty wasn't one of the finalists. To be a finalist this year is an improvement I'm satisfied with; thanks to the voters who made it happen. I know my story won't get as far as first place, that will go to either badreligionau or Sit.

[Kenny]

I'd say Thierry or Sit. Sit because of history and Thierry because of how far he's come. I'd say Thierry would win the equivilent of the Most Improved award if there was one.

It's a very competitive field though, so I make predictions rather tenatively.

[The X]

I predict my first place vote will win

[Radioman]

I think i am to late, i would have voted for Thierrys Association. All the others were great too of course.

I could not follow them all , but those are the one i remembered most

1 River Chronicles
2 Domination
3 Axel's Rockets
4 Cruzzers Cavs even he could not finish

[Martti.]

The fibal vote is still ongoing, you can vote for the remaining six.

[The X]

Looks like Thierry is the wildcard to bolt from third to first. Wouldn't that be a fairytale finish for the French Argentine?

[shadowgrin]

Thierry (the poster, not the player) is French? Disgusting.

[The X]

I'm trying to skew last minute voters away from him, since nobody would knowingly vote for a Frenchman. Nobody.





















Except Thierry....

[kibaxx7]

My alter-ego is French. I have Italian ancestors, just look at my last name. BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!

[The X]

Don't get us started on Italians, they're a big part of Euro financial crisis. You're not gaining anymore votes at this stage

[Valor]

Congrats to all the finalists this year, well deserved Obviously I haven't read all of them, but I think you guys are doing a great job. It's good to see this section staying so active again after having a brief period of relative inactivity earlier in the year

[Martti.]

Final week of voting, who haven't voted yet, please do!

[Martti.]

Will tally up the votes some time today. Good luck to all of the finalists!

[Martti.]

Gonna do this with spoilers, inspired by The X with his draft lottery presentation.

So, let's get down to it.

Martti. - Miami Heat

5th place :

The X - Minnesota Timberwolves

So thanks to all the dynasty writers, all of those who voted and those who keep this section alive. Let's have another strong year and be back in 2012!

And the winner, don't forget about this!

[The X]

Congrats to badreligionau, a well-deserved honour. I don't think anybody can argue that.

Congrats also to Thierry, who managed to keep his going for a year and knock Sit out of top 2 spot.

Congrats to everybody else & to those who missed out on top 6.

[shadowgrin]

WOOT!

[The X]

Cheers also to Martti for running this year in & year out.

[Kenny]

Thanks to everyone who voted. I'm actually very surprised with the result, I thought it was either going to be another Sit year or one for Thierry. It was a great field and just being apart of it is a great honour in itself.

Anyway, the longer acceptance speech is on my thread if you want to check it out. Thanks again!

[Andrew]

Congrats again! We've got some great threads going at the moment but this was a very well deserved victory. Nice job by all those nominated, in particular the top six.

[Axel The Great]

First off, props to Martti. for hosting this and congrats to all who have been writing excellent stories, there was definitely plenty of competition to go around this year. In particular congrats to those who placed above me. I can make no argument against the three stories that placed above mine, I think we all knew it was going to be between Sit, Thierry, and badreligionau. I'm happy placing fourth, just wanna say thanks to the voters who made it happen.

[Andrew]

Absolutely, thanks again Martti;.
