Holiday Feature – Best of 2007


First of all, Happy (Belated) Holidays everyone.

Second, here is the 2nd Annual Holiday Feature. This year’s theme: The Best of 2007



NOTE: Unless specified, the finalists and entrants in each category are presented in no particular order.

DISCLAIMER: In the course of reading this feature, you may feel the urge to disagree with the selection of finalists in each category. The creator of this feature does not blame you for this; in fact, the creator partially wants it to stir up the reader’s involvement in reading the feature. In other words, the top five works that the creator had in mind may and will be different from those of the reader, and that is perfectly fine.
