go neck to neck, separated by only a handful of votes. 

I am proud to announce that the winner of the YA Feisty Female Tourney title for 2013 - with 933 votes/49%, is...

MAGGIE MASTERS!

A big congratulations to Maggie, Shelly Crane and those who are fans of Maggie and got her through all seven rounds! This is an amazing achievement :)

A big thank you to Jennifer and Skyla, for their support and for their amazing female characters - as well as to all the other females who didn't make it into the Grand Final, their authors, their fans and a special thanks to my beautiful advocators, who took the time and effort to spread the word about this tourney and rally support for their faves!

I'm looking forward to doing this all again next year...but for now let's hear three cheers for Maggie, the YA Feisty Female for 2013!!
