WKA winners (and the leading loser)

[aadler]

 
If, as the saying goes, “Second Place just means First Loser,” then I’m a preeminent loser four times over.

With the announcement of the winners for the 2011 White Knight Awards, I found that I was in fact more loser than any other single person. I took runner-up in a total of four categories, in fact; only one other person took more than two.

In summary:

My story “How Wide the Gate” placed second in How? What? How? (crossovers, with LitGal winning that category), and World Without Shrimp (AU fic, with skargasm emerging as the winner).

“Hungry Like the Wolf” placed second in Where Do We Go From Here? (Post-Season 7 stories, with baudown winning that one).

And, finally, “Whisper of a Moment” placed second in Epic Fic (with lusciousxander winning there).

Not to be forgotten, of course, is that sroni received her first fic award here, with “Something Old, Something New” likewise taking (what else?) runner-up in Yanni CD & a Bottle of Chianti (romantic fic).

Everyone is urged to go to the site, check out and read the winning stories, and congratulate the winning authors. Meanwhile, I will take what satisfaction I can in having finished second over everyone else.
