This year Ripples had a number of additional stories that were entered but didn't qualify for voting for various reasons. As stated on the entry page, by entering the author agrees that once entered their story will remain on the contest pages for the duration of the contest. As a courtesy these stories are posted here for you to read but will not be eligible for voting.

Please note, you will be reading at your own risk. Spiletta has a bizarre fixation with Smurfs, but it's a good chuckle, even if she can't count. 5 categories equals 5 fic total, Spiletta! And Smurfette needs to keep her mits off ChakotaySmurf. :-)

The rest of these stories were disqualified due to C/7 ending, slash ending, and/or incorrect rating. The author of the slash and incorrectly rated fic declined to have those warnings added, or pairing and rating info corrected, and posted the stories and entered them in another contest before Ripples started. The C/7 author was unavailable for comment due to a non-working email address.
