Notes
- ^ The Hobbits: General, 3rd Place award was first given to "Recollections", then it was noticed that "Of Dwarvish Ale...." actually won by 2 points. It was decided not to take the award away from the author of "Recollections", but to correct the listing to show that "Of Dwarvish Ale...." actually won.
