WLKRAS Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Roman Abramovich I am proud to present one of the most prestigious awards handed out tonight. The award for Story of the Year. This award speaks for itself, only the very best stories written on FMS this year are nominated. With four stories nominated, yet only three writers, it’s going to be a close contest. The Nominees for Story of the Year are: Our revolutionist comrade BobBev with Fools Go Russian In. One of tonight’s hattrick hero’s, Faramir has two nominations with A Harrowing Misadventure. And Faramir’s second is Silent Knight, Holy Knight And finally, flipsix3 with Leaving the past behind (FM edition) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLKRAS Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Roman Abramovich A very deserved winner in this category with more than 50% of the Round 1 votes. He lost a lot of his lead in the second round, but just held on to snatch the win.

He has been unjustly fought into second place twice tonight, but becoming the first ever two time winner of this award should make up for it.
