We would like to thank all the fanfic authors for submitting their creative work to our Valentine's Day Fanfic Challenge! We received 8 great stories. As a thank you for all their hard work, we will be sending them each a copy of the "Leaving Normal" script. Though each story was wonderfully written, we decided to pick one best overall winner by majority vote. Our winning story is "All in Shades of Pink" by Azelfage. In addition to the script, Azelfage will also receive a yet-to-be-determined prize.

We also would like to thank our judges Vigie, Jeannine (aka Absolutely Addicted), and Marissa for taking the time out to read and judge each story. Judging was a harder task than we thought! The judges will also receive a script as a thank you from us.

Finally, we would like to thank both the Crashdown and Irina's Roswell page for publishing the fanfics on their website for us. We sincerely hope that everyone will enjoy reading these great stories from such talented writers!
