There were some cases where the difference between 1st and 6th place was a mere 4 or 5 votes. We did originally consider holding tie breaks in the categories that were drawn, but decided that as the aim of the Wirerims was to celebrate and promote Skinnercentric fiction and pictures, having two winners or tied placings was no bad thing. It's fantastic to see how many authors and artists out there are dedicated to celebrating the qualities of the SPG, in words and pictures. Thanks again to everyone who took part. All the nominees are entitled to place the nominee icon on their stories.
Winners can give pride of place to the winner's icon, shown on each page.
Remember that these awards were just for fun, and not to be taken too seriously. We really appreciate the many folks who took the time to email us and say how much they've enjoyed the awards - and especially reading all the great fiction on the site. That's made all the hard work worthwhile - The Wirerims Committee . We love him het, we love him slashed, we love him curled up in front of roaring fires, or tied up in empty warehouses. We love him sitting behind his desk, or striding around a crime scene, long coat swirling around his ankles, or atop a camel dressed as a sheikh.
