McShep Match

The polls are now closed and votes will be counted as soon as possible – look out for the results coming to this community on Thursday.

Entries for the top commenters contest are also closed – you can still comment, but those dated after this post will not be included in the count – and we'll be announcing the winners of that at the same time.

All participant names should be on entries now, along with any beta thanks and other author/artist notes you included with your submission. Artwork should now be replaced by the signed version if you supplied one. If we've missed anything, or if you want to add beta thanks, please just let us know. Same applies if you spot any errors, though we've checked as best we can. It helps us to edit more quickly if you include a link and the name of the mod who posted the entry, btw, as we post entries with our own journals.

Please note that the fest is not over yet – you'll be able to post your entries for the fest to your own journal and/or website once the results are up, but please wait until then.

Now for the masterlist of entries, and although I'm sure the voters had as much difficulty choosing as we would - may the best team win!

Before we head off to tackle the massive pile of votes, we'd like to say a huge thank you to our fantastic Team Captains lavvyan and kassrachel for all their hard work, to our artists aesc (who made the artwork and icons for this year's communities) and anna_luna (whose fabulous prize artwork you'll be able to admire soon) - and of course to everyone who took part and made the whole fest possible. Special thanks also go to our fabulous backup volunteers callmerizzo, curia_regis, gblvr and roaringmice. We can't possibly express how grateful we are for your help.

We'd also like to thank all our participants on both teams, who not only made that the shortest list of backup volunteers we've had yet, but organised their own interviews and volunteered themselves to offer prizes for the winners of the guessing contest. We always know we're lucky to have great participants in this fest, but you all went above and beyond and your enthusiasm for every part of the fest was very much appreciated by your mods.

Now for the masterlist of entries, and although I'm sure the voters had as much difficulty choosing as we would - may the best team win!

May the best team win!
