VICTORY AND PIE! CHEESE AND CAKE!

The 2011 BSC Review Book Tournament is over, and An Artificial Night is the winner, stomping The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack by a mere 5%! Yes, it was 55/45 when the polls closed, and Mark Hodder's tale of gaslight London and the monsters therein came very close to victory. But in the end, there could be only one, and your tireless devotion to clicking little boxes meant that Toby walked away with the gold!

Also, you know. Some heads. Heads are awesome.

Thank you all for clicking, and for putting up with my random fascination with online contests. It was a lot of fun, and I deeply appreciate it. We now return you to your regularly scheduled nonsense.

Toby is an unstoppable fucking juggernaut who slowed it up long enough for the opponent to taste victory -- then snatched it back for him, going PSYCH!

Cruel, Toby. Cruel.

But very funny.

I have my playlist for reading One Salt Sea; Undertow and Ocean by Lush.

Also, nuts!
When my paid account lapsed, I lost my kittie icon from my available list. Nurts!

Well done, but just to be picky: 55/45 is 10%. Yeah, I know, sit down and shut up.

seanan_mcguire

April 26 2011, 15:45:10 UTC 6 years ago

I was thinking less "precise math," and more "if 5% had voted for him, we'd have had a tie." You're right!

Congratulations! BTW, I make 55/45 to be a lead of 10 not 5. Just sayin'. ;-p
