I won stuff

The absence_oflight awards were just announced, and I picked up some pretties:

beer_good_foamy has created a beautifully poignant piece with Mission Accomplished. Giles’ last mission as Buffy’s Watcher, the agony of having to prepare her for burial, feels like a knife to your heart. Add in the snippets from a past teacher, and it takes this short story to an even higher level of breathtaking pain that will have you sobbing. A must read in my opinion.

Also, a bit belated (sorry, Kelly), from still_grrr:

Huge thanks, and congrats to everyone on my flist who picked up stuff!

Also, a few nominations. You guys are too kind, really. :-)

I'm nominated at sog_awards for Trail Of The Pbuffalo (best gen, best fluff/lighthearted), In Alphabetical Order (best gen), Stylish, Yet Affordable (best drabble) and, shucks, best author.

Trail Of The Pbuffalo is also up for Best Gen and Best Comedy at the Sunny D Awards.

And finally, Dawn Of The Dead is up for Best Fluff/Comedy at unlocked_awards, which is apparently brand new and needs more nominees.

ETA: Dawn of the Dead was also nominated at rwsawards for "Best old fic." Yay!

Short writing update: Haven't gotten much done lately thanks to work and other things, but I'm desperately trying to get something written for halloween. It's a ghost story, though not a typical ghost story. We'll see what comes of it.

Congrats! And oooo, I'm looking forward to the Halloween ghost story!

Thanks!

It's actually sort of a meta-ghost story with no actual ghosts in it, but it's as close to halloween as I get this year, I guess. I know what I want it to do, I just need to get the characters to agree somehow. :-)

Well done! Although 'Mission Accomplished' didn't have me sobbing; did I fail? :-)

Congratulations for the awards and the nominations. I must say about Mission Accomplished that it's one of the rare fanfics that made a real and lasting impression on me. So, it makes me happy to see you awarded for it once again.

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot! I'm really very happy with that fic, so it's always nice to hear that it works for others too.

Congratulations!!!

I'd never read "Mission Accomplished" before. It may be the single best piece of BtVS I've ever read. I recced it here (http://green-maia.livejournal.com/218210.html) - hope that's okay!

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Thanks a whole lot! :-) And reccing is always very much appreciated.
