       Did Taleswapper say anything in his post about fics that he DIDN'T
like?  Maybe that tells us that he does have fics that he liked, but he also
has stories that he liked better than most?  Maybe that is why the Award
part was meant for the authors he liked   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        Get what I mean?  I was just using the example of Taleswapper and
his C&C.

The question is whether his process of announcing his favorite fics should
be called "awards" or not.
