EvilDave Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Sorry for being late to the party again - working for a church will do that on a Sunday! - and thank you @mark wilson27 for a fine ceremony and for all the hard work that goes into making this happen. Seven straight Builder's Awards is testament to the sterling work that you do, and it's fully deserved! Well done @Tikka Mezzala and @Rien102 on your gongs - you've brought new life and great work to FMS, and I look forward to reading more of your stories in the future. It's great to see awards in new hands, especially ones as gifted as yours! And huge congratulations to @CFuller - you've cemented yourself as one of the all-time FMS greats with this haul, and it's easy to see why. I know it's been a tough year for you, and so for multiple long-running stories to maintain their excellence is no mean feat. I'm thrilled to share Writer of the Year with you - especially as a fellow Gooner! Finally, thanks to all who voted, took part, read and wrote. I may not have been as active in these parts over the past year, but FMS is always somewhere I find myself coming back to, and is one of the best online communities I've come across. To be recognised at these awards is a genuine honour, and I look forward to reading what you guys have in store for 2020! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, all worthy winners! It was an honour to simply get nominated, reading through the ceremony has me motivated to put hands to keys (it can't be pen to paper can it!) and continue striving to give you all something I enjoy writing and hope you enjoy reading. @mark wilson27 thank you for everything you have done and continue to do, you are a true testament to this community. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
