H/D New Classics: Poll Results
Well, the voting is closed, and three hours later, I have the results tallied. But first let me say thank you to everyone who voted, nominated fics, provided information, pimped this, and expressed your support for the idea of a New Classics List. This was a fandom-wide project, one that wouldn't have worked without the cooperation of everyone involved. :)

If you would like to see all of the fics that were up for nomination and/or written in during the voting process (because they are all quite good, really), you can go here.

109 people participated in the poll. 102 by LJ-comment, 7 by email.
There were 783 votes total.
The most votes received by one fic was 40.
The least was 0.
21 fics were write-ins, 5 of which recieved more than one vote.

	Oh, don't worry about it at all! I'm sorry for the mistake; I was relying on the people who voted and nominated your fic to have gotten it right. I should have double checked myself. And congratulations on your placement! :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	oh my gosh! very very flattered to be in such company! wow! I just wish I'd known about the voting so I could have seconded all the lovely fics that made this list! Which is a sure sign I should friend you, I reckon, instead of just dawdling about thinking about it. :)) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Whoa. At the risk of sounding falsely modest, because this comes from the heart, I am truly surprised the Waters of March is so well thought of. I really had no suspicion. When I reread it, I see the things I could have done better, of course. Thanks so much, Abby, for doing this, and to those of you who enjoyed my story. (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	abbycadabra 2005-08-28 05:02 am UTC (link)
	How can you be surprised? It's an amazing fic! I toyed with the idea of making it an Already Classic, but hesistated. Now I see I just should have gone ahead and done so. <33 (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	Thank you so much for doing this. While I am familiar with some of the stories, there are some new-to-me stories that are now on my "to read" list. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	abbycadabra 2005-08-29 01:20 pm UTC (link)
	I'm so glad that I could bring you some new stuff to read! That was the whole point of this after all, exposing the stuff we're all reading now, but which isn't widely known as yet. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	abbycadabra 2007-08-12 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	Irresistable Poison was published pre-OotP, which was the cut off date for when a fic might be considered "new." It's definitely a CLASSIC classic, but not a NEW classic. (Reply to this) (Parent)
