*takes deep breath*

The awards for June are FINALLY finished.


I know that I did not put any deadline for the tie voting, but....practically everyone who voted before had already voted again. So, by my order, I declare June's awards voting OVER. It is time to move on.

It is also time to post the awards. Quite frankly, I am disappointed. Disappointed that there's only two sites in the world that offer any good Starlights images that aren't 160x120 or jusst not of crappy quality. I did my best to fit the awards to their respective stories, but I fear that some of them, I was completely unable to fit to their stories (Like, there's no Seiya/*SPOILER PAIRING* smut I could use...)

Anyways, one more thing before we get to the awards. Some of you may notice that your awards don't have links to the stories. There is a reason for this. Due to the recent decisions of Kihin to try and protect the little kids from reading adultish stuff like, say The Better Horse (A cookie for whoever can remember that one!), I myself decided that all rated R and NC-17 winners will not have links from their awards - so if the kiddies REALLY want to read the adult stuff THAT badly, they'll just have to look for it.

NYAAAH NYAAAAAAAAAAAH!! >:P



























....That was a bit over the top, wasn't it?

Ah well. To the awards!













And now, for the award I'm sure everyone was gunnung for....CRACK!FIC OF THE MONTH.

This one, in my opinion, was a very, very, very, VERY easy selection. When I first pitched it to Kihin, she laughed and said she knew I'd have picked it...because it was quite cracky. Unfortunately, it was the only one she ended up finding as well.

The problem with that is that the selection might seem very biased to some people, but I can assure you, Kihin did not go "WE MUST PICK THIS ONE!"; it was me who did that. And subsequent readings by both of us of what would be considered cracky, sadly, turned up nothing to trump the crack factor of this particular section. (Sorry, Crystal Usagi, not even "Revelations" was cracky in comparison. Not that it wasn't cracky, though...)

So, without further ado, I give you the CRACK!FIC OF THE MONTH:




So cracky, I couldn't fit the whole title in the award! :D


And there you have it. June's awards, standing tall, standing proud. Still standing despite the fact that our foot structure was permanently wrecked from the black leather heels.

HUZZAH!!
