I apologize if this comes in twice; from the look of my mailbox, Wolf got
the problem fixed, and I sent the message off to the old FFML at precisely
the wrong time.  

Top finishers in the People's Choice Annual Poll for Ranma Fanfiction
for calendar year 1997:

Congratulations to the winners!  I would like to point out that, of
the fourteen works eligible, all received at least four votes.  Many
of the people casting ballots commented on how difficult the decision
was.  In the end, though, the final results were:

  

                               First Place

                              Hearts of Ice

                             by Krista Perry



  

                              Second Place

                             The Bitter End

                                 by Zen



                               Third Place

                               Neko-phobia

                              by David Eddy


Again, congratulations to Krista, Zen, David, and all those who made it to 
the annual voting.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote in our poll.  Extra
special thanks go to Jeanne Hedge, for patiently tabulating the votes
all year.  Domo arigato, Jeanne!  ^_^
