"And the winner of the Tara Gillespie Award for Most Hated Fanfic Writer on the Internet is..."

dramatic pause* *drumroll*

"Ri-kun!"

steps up*

"Thank you! Oh, I really can't believe I won! Yes, I have prepared a speech for this occasion... strickly just in case, of course. Let's see, I would like to thank that guy with the fire extinguisher who puts out all of the flames I get. I would also like to thank the bomb squad for coming over twice a week and diffusing all of the ticking fan mail that ends up in my mailbox. I would like to thank Viggo Mortensen, who was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to slay all of those pesky trolls that had been building up in my review box. And lastly, I would like to thank all the little people who made this award possible. You hate me... You REALLY hate me!"

"Oh, and never let anyone tell you that you're all too short to ride the rollercoaster! And finally, I would like to thank the pixies!"

(Just a few quick notes for all of my regular readers. Since doesn't have an 'Author's Notes' page, I have put them here as opposed to interrupting the flow of the story at the end of chapters.)
