Every single story received several positive votes, and there were very few negative votes, cast only for a couple of the most controversial stories, which also received plenty of positive votes. We also received a number of very encouraging and very useful comments, thank you.

As usual, there were fewer votes cast for artworks than stories, with most of those going to the cover art.

The most popular stories and artworks are listed below. Many congratulations to the winners and runners up in both categories!
