Okay, deadline is close as you've all already gathered. Gimme a few days to collate a shortlist (I've been hit by a sudden inundation of Extended Family so don't have much internet time an am knackered out by small children) and then the voting will start.
Gimme a whiskey on the rocks.

Ok, if anyone saw the posts that were here, I apologise and please ignore. I'm babysitting tonight, and whilst I was making a call upstairs, the NIGHTMARE child I'm watching discovered the account I made for April Fools about 5 years ago.
Apparently Firefox has saved all my passwords.
The little pain is still smirking at me too, it was funny apparently...

mALX: I thought about a poll, but it's too easily abused, while the PM system is much harder to.
Also, before anyone asks, you can't vote for your own stories. That's just silly.
