We are not interested in hyping our fics.  You will notice
that neither Nick nor I were in the top three - if we were
"rigging" the polls and interested in "hyping" our fics,
obviously we would have placed our fics in the top three.

Well, you *did* say something on your page about
'ego-gratification'...

True, but that was only to explain why we weren't excluding our own fics
from consideration.  In fact, I had to talk Nick into allowing his fics to
be voted for on our poll.

but yes, I agree, there's nothing to suggest that these
polls were rigged.

Heh, thanks.  The accusation is just plain silly, as Tybalt said.

Say, Richard, when's your next tear-jerking award-winning
undoubtedly much-cheered story coming out? ;)

Well, who knows?  I *will* say that I'm working on a Sailor Moon fic as
part of a collaborative effort.  Hopefully a Ranma 1/2 story I wrote over
a year ago will be seeing the light of day soon.  And I'm currently
composing a KOR fic in my head - still trying to see if it will work out.
I write all my stories in my head first; if I don't like them, I can ditch
them without wasting a lot of time actually typing them out.  ^_^  I did
that just recently with a Robotech fanfic; I had it half-written in my
head before realizing just how darned stupid it would be and abandoning
it.  :)
