Comments

[rebcake]

There is a problem with one of the links above. Under "Rare Femmeslash" the first entry goes to a different story (not femmeslash). The correct title is "Sixteen Cigarettes" and the correct link is:

http://vikingprincess.livejournal.com/476945.html

The same problems are there for this story under "Romance".

[snowpuppies]

Great catch, hon! I've made the correction.

Thanks for the eagle eye. :)

[pickamix]

I don't know why but I can't click on seductivembrace's first story under best overall rare pairings author... the story is Past Indiscretions.

[pickamix]

I got to the fic via the tags in the author's journal.

[pickamix]

The link for the story Family Reunion doesn't work.

[snowpuppies]

Thanks, hon!

I dunno why, but sometimes when transferring links, LJ will stick an extra space in there which makes the link not work...*sigh*

At any rate, I've fixed it, and am including it for your convenience!

http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=shapinglight&keyword=Family%20Reunion&filter=all

[pickamix]

Thanks! You are a doll!

[angelus2hot]

Hi! I'm almost sure that I voted early but I can't be completely positive. I think I remember but *shrugs* maybe not. Is there any way you can find out?

[snowpuppies]

You did! Thanks so much for participating!

[angelus2hot]

Thank you! I was going crazy trying to remember. :)
