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*)

Well, when people vote, they're voting for one story or author over another, so in that way, it's a competition. Perhaps that's me painting it as something it's not. I'm more than happy to see it a different way; that's just how it seems to me. That said, there are a lot of positive things about it, too, so I don't want it to sound like I just think it's a big ball of crap or something. Somebody loved two stories of mine enough to nominate them for something, and I'm truly grateful for that. I guess, in the end, I'm rooting for a big ol' tie all around. ;-)

Oh, the competition thing isn't what I'm talking about when I say it's being painted incorrectly. I just mean the fact the 90% of us have mixed feels abut it because everyone is shaming the whole thing. Like. I feel like everyone feels bad about being nominated.

It's not what they intended, I'm sure. It kind of makes me sad, too.

That said, congrats! Burning the Ground is such a freaking hot fic.

I have a solution. All of you guilty H/D writers come on over to Cross Gen Next Gen, where you don't have to worry about hurting anyone's feelings because NOBODY ELSE WRITES IT.

And you can all start by writing Charlie/Teddy or Charlie/Scorpius kthnx.

FTW!!! :-DD

[kedavranox.livejournal.com]

LOL.

I can't write those characters very well I'm afraid.

[tamlane.livejournal.com]

Oh well. Can't blame a girl for trying. :P

[traintracks.livejournal.com]

Practice makes perfect.

Not that I'm trying to steer you away from Harry/Draco -- Goddess forbid!!!

Ah, okie doke! I feel great about being nominated, LOL!!!!! I'm just not sure how or if I'm going to vote. Which doesn't mean I want to shame people who definitely will or definitely won't -- just that I haven't yet made up my own mind.

Thank you for the sweet encouragement on my story! <3 I saw you were nominated several times, too, yes? CONGRATS! I know one of them was dark!fic, which I don't read, but I have no doubt yours was stellar. Since you wrote it. :-)

I didn't know we could nominate things from fests, but if I had I would have thrown in 'Buenos Aires'! Heck, I still may if I can figure it all out again. (I'm pretty confused by the categories, honestly.)
