So, um, yeah...

I have such mixed feelings about this. I've decided I'm just grateful! I know fanfic awards can create problems; I don't want to ignore that. But dammit, I'm grateful. I'm grateful. <3 I feel completely honored to have been nominated twice four OMGFIVE times: best H/D drabble, best H/D smut, best slash smut, best drama/angst, and best threesome smut. Wow! \o/ So thank you to whoever nominated me! You warm my heart. (I'm not asking anyone to vote for me, although if you want to, be my guest, LOL! *headdesk*)

You summed up my feelings pretty much exactly. I thought about withdrawing, but decided not to just because whoever nominated me... nominated me.

But, yeah. Hard not wanting to "win" against other fic, but still not wanting to be a loser. Argh!

Competition sucks. I'm gonna curl up under my rock now.

I've decided that I'm not going to vote in either category I'm nominated in. Best het smut is the only easy one for me, because they're both tamlane's stories, ha! But then...which one...?

Now I'm back to blarg!

;-p

Congrats on your nominations! I do feel very honored about that. I just want everybody to win, though, and I want the people who didn't get nominated to GET nominated, so I guess what I want is for there to be just a big fandom party saying yay for everyone!

[eidheann_writes]

Yeah.
I did my nominating (though not in my category) because more fic deserve recognition.

Yay for fic! Yay for writing! Yay for everyone doing it!

Yesyesyes!

It's not a competition though. Like. I don't get it. How is it a competition??

[eidheann_writes]

Because once nominations are closed, voting starts and you're competing against the other fic in your pairing & category for a winner?
