"Well I've been kinda going through a rough patch. The whole year actually." This Michael Scott quote pretty much sums up 2020, but one silver lining to this sh*tstorm of a year is quarantine and lockdowns led to lots and lots of great fanfic with over 240 new and updated stories!
As we've done the last couple years, we asked the MTT community to name a few of their favorites in many categories, plus create some recognition for their fellow MTTers. And this year, our member more than answered the call, so much so we've create a whole separate page! For the sake of our homepage, in this news post we'll only announce the Top Voted Fics, for all other award please head to the 2020 MTT Dundie Awards Page .
