Hey stays. I was just one admin who decided to do this on a whim when I started, and the wonderful stray kids fandom took thos event and made it bigger than I ever imagined it would be! I met a lot of lovely stays and talented writers through this event and made friends and discovered new fics, which was the purpose of this event. I hope it did the same for all of you. Thank you very much to each and every person who reblogged a post, nominated someone, voted, or just came to give a shoutout. Everyone was very understanding when I closed nominations early too, even though upset would've been justified imo. The real stray kids awards were the friends we made along the way!

Just to show how amazing STAYblr is: for this awards event, we amassed a total of...

113 nominations

And...

4k votes!

Thanks to your guys' dedication and voting, your favorite writers, fics, and moots will receive a place on this masterlist, and these nifty userboxes to do with as they please. Stick them on your masterlists or landing pages if you want! Nominees get one too!

Without further ado, here are the winners!

thank you to those who nominated me, those who voted for me, and the admins who organised the event !! and a special congratulations to the winners and nominees of this event, your hard work is well recognised !!

now let me be a sap for a sec:

‘best hwang hyunjin fic’: i actually am so grateful for the success of this work. i was so proud of it during the making process, and to think i won award for it now! and he’s my bias too, so it hits a little different!! i love writing awkward hyunjin, seriously. probably only of my favourite genres ahhaa. the appreciation like this really helps to keep me going hehe

me winning ‘best edit’ actually means so much as well, i’m very proud of my banners, and to hear and see that many others do too, really warms me. i get very bad imposter syndrome in my design degree, and it effects my confidence really bad sometimes, so this really helps to give me that little boost i need

‘best theme’: special thank you to @lariesographic / @breakmeoff for being so talented and helping to create awesome twee-style banners, my theme wouldn’t hit the same without your efforts <33

i dedicate my ‘best ask answerer’ award to all my amazing mutuals, anons, and everyone else who consistently sends me asks—i wouldn’t have this without you!!

thank you all again—i’ll continue to work hard on posting into the new year!! <3

i’m very…. over the moon… wink.. i’ll see myself out…
