2008 Winter Games Medal Ceremony
Today we again recognize the hard-won achievement and dedication of authors and their teams who strive for excellence in Snarry.

As always, it is the fans that are really the winners here. Our Champions all worked hard to entertain us, to allow us a glimpse into different worlds and characters that we hold near and dear. We thank them ALL for this gift they share.

However, in the competition we set out to do, the Judges (you, the readers) have voted to score these creative authors and their teams, both of which have alternatively stunned and excited us, allowing one to edge out the other for Gold by again, the smallest of margins. So without further ado:


Ladies and gentlemen, our GOLD MEDAL WINNERS, with a total of 855 out of a possible 945 points:


Team Dragon!





Congratulations to our 2008 Snarry Winter Games Gold Medal Winners!

Wow.

In recognition of the comments, as well as individual journal efforts and team community efforts, the mods thought that we should also recognise the stellar teamwork by some standouts. It wasn't easy, since we had so many wonderful participants to choose from, but after much heated discussion, we have narrowed down the "Outstanding Team Member" kudos this year to:


For Team Dragon and Team Phoenix, the following teammates went above and beyond the call of duty:





  • For Team Dragon Captain, [info]joanwilder:


  • For Team Dragon Member, [info]klynie1:


  • For Team Phoenix Member, [info]alisanne:


  • For Team Phoenix Member, [info]jin_fenghuang:



THANK YOU ALL, SO MUCH!
(icons by SuperMod! [info]reddwarfer, thank you!

***The Alternates for both teams will be individually thanked in a special post, along with the Boss's reviews - later this week.***





Thanks go to: [info]tripperfunster for her fantastic original art, and to [info]swtalmnd for the gorgeous medals, banners and graphics!

Please take your medals home (temporary hotlinking allowed only) and take good care of them, they were hard work for the folks involved.


*The scores were tallied individually by [info]djin7, [info]aliciamasters, [info]reddwarfer, [info]midnitemarauder, [info]meredyth13, [info]magic_helmet, and then compared with the others. Any discrepancy with null votes was averaged.


All individual author vote tallies are available, upon request, to the authors privately, via email to snarry.mod @ gmail.com. Thank you.


Extra thanks and praise go to [info]meredyth13 for coming up with an absolutely brilliant system to make the counting easier, and to [info]igtow for perfecting it, last year!



Congratulations, all!

Congrats, Team Dragon and Team Phoenix! Smallest of margins, indeed!

Dragon got the gold, but in my humble opinion, the silver medal and banner were prettier.

Thank you all, Champions, for the wonderful, wonderful snarry you've given us! Thank you to all the artists, mods, and helpers that make the Snarry Games a major hit, every year. You guys are the absolute best, and if I had any talent at all with photoshop, I'd make gold medal banners for each mod and artist and helper, with all my love. Unfortunately, I don't, so you'll just have to make do with all my love and nothing else.

Oh, yay! I'm so excited! This was a great and amazing experience, despite my nervousness being a newbie.

And I missed four fics? Damn, I thought I commented to all of them but mine. *grumbles at myself*

*blinks* 11 points? Wow. If we got any closer, we'd be doin' the nasty.

What a testament to how good all the stories were this year. Congratulations, Team Phoenix! All joking aside, your stories were wonderful, and, from fowls to lizards, it was a blast teasing each other.

Well done, everyone!

As much fun as the competition is (and it's been great fun), the best part of the Games is all the wonderful fics written for it, no matter which team the fics comes from. The real winners are the readers.

Whoa, the closeness of the race must've had our beloved mod squad counting and recounting like crazy! That's really cool that both teams were so adored--I mean, the fics were seriously FANTASTIC all around! I can't say enough how terrific an experience this was for me. Being on Team Dragon was like frosting on the cake! And I LOVE frosting!! :D

Whoa! How tight was that score? My scaly rear is singed!

Well done everyone, regardless of species! And, wow, readers - thank you! *hugs entire Snarry universe*

And mods? Thank you. *hugs you all hard* I'm blown away (but not speechless, I guess, since I have something to say). I hope you don't mind, because I know you had to make a choice, but I want to share my outstanding team player award *blushes REALLY red* with my fellow Dragons. Honestly, this team rocked like a rocking rock thingie. The Dragon comment pR0n was to die for, the team spirit was inspirational and the camaraderie - well, suffice to say, I now have Dragon sibs who make me roar with pride every time I see them post a story, even if it isn't Snarry. [info]joanwilder took a lot of sassy iguanas and made us all into a pack of fire-breathing dragons. This truly was a team effort. *gets all teary-eyed and hugs her Dragon teammates REALLY hard* Thanks, my dearest, lovely (and handsome) Dragons. ♥

YAY SNARRY!!

Wow! As [info]igtow said, any closer and we'd be shagging. ;)

Congratulations to team Dragon for a game well played! *hugs all my friends on Team Dragon* Kudos also to my dear team mates, the lovely Team Phoenix! In addition, congratulations to [info]snarry_fan7 for all her wonderful support of the games (and she does that every year, I believe!)!

As for the team player award... *blushes furiously* thank you to DJ and the mods for this! I had an amazingly fun time during these games and all the good-natured going back and forth was hilarious. To get an award for it is just the icing on the cake. *g*

I'd say we ALL won. Yay Snarry!

Yay! What a fantastic round of the games! GO TEAM DRAGON!

All of the fics, on both teams, were just great, and I'm so excited for everyone!

Also, would it be terrible if I pointed out that you misspelled my name? If it's too much trouble to fix, don't worry about it.

*happy dance*
