Votes for Fan Fiction

What follows are all Fan Fiction submissions (grouped by subcategory), and the total votes each received. The submissions / entries are ordered the same way as on the 2002 Submissions page, and the number to the left of each entry is the number of popular votes (your votes) each entry received. Subcategories also had 'Abstain' at the top, and the number beside that shows how many people didn't vote for any of the entries. Reasons to abstain could vary between the voter feeling they shouldn't vote due to lack of knowledge or experience or because they were competing (although it is legal to vote for oneself), or because they felt that none of the entries deserved to win.

• X-Day judges were sent only the top-placed entries on which to vote (those marked with a 'J' on the left of the entry).
• While judges were sent these top entries, they were not told how many votes each received, so they voted blind with no preconceptions of a winner.
• Judges were not permitted to vote in subcategories in which they themselves competed.
• Some judges' comments are shown beneath the list of popular votes; occasionally a judge may have given feedback on an item not sent to them but that was in the complete submission list.
• There were 7 judges that returned votes for some or all subcategories.
• In cases where those judges had a tie vote, an additional judge voted to break the tie.

• [1] Xavier's Orphanage by Stormfreak

Judge Comments

Xavier's Orphanage [...]
She placed the X-men in an alternative universe where mutants never existed, and still 
managed to write them very realistically and believably in this story.  Very talented.

Sum of Zero was a much much better piece [...]. Full
Circle was [...] because she took the time to flesh it out.
