Aw(ards) shucks.

It's been a good couple of days award-wise. First of all, "Dawn Of The Dead" won stuff at c2c_buffyawards, as did many other excellent writers - congrats, folks!



Second of all, "Five By Five By Five By..." is nominated at the Chosen Two Awards and "Morning Is Broken" at the Sunnydale Memorial Awards (which has a very nifty Felicia Day banner, btw, I really need to write some more Vi).


Huge thanks to everyone involved!

Also, a meme that's been doing the rounds and looks like fun since I haven't done a fic commentary for a while:

I think it would be fun to talk about stories, but the usual memes are like, "What happens next?" "Tell me about Character A?" Which isn't so much talking about stories as it is writing more of a story. But you know how sometimes you read something and you're like, "I got ___ out of this story, I wonder if I have that right?" or "What on earth was ____ supposed to be?" and it's too awkward to ask the author? Now you could totally ask!

I've heard people say that writing is hard because you have to make decisions, but we never really talk about the decisions we make with stories or why we make them. We talk about plot bunnies, but not about how we actually turn them into a story.

And it seems like a lot more fun to do that than to do working.

So, if you wanted, ask me questions! (Or use this to ask your flist to ask you questions).

What were you trying to do [here]? Why did you decide to ____? This is what I thought about xyz, is that what you were going for? What made you write ____? Why did you decide to do this? And so on.

Congrats!

(I can't think of a question at the moment, but I'm totally stealing this meme.)

Thanks!

And yay! The first and foremost goal of every meme is to reproduce.

I agree there should be more Vi (I don't have a Vi icon, unfortunately). Congrats on the awards.

I do! And thanks!

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Yay! Congrats!

I thought I'd mention that I recommended your fic to a friend a few months ago and he told me the other day he's now read everything you've ever written. And I checked if he was exaggerating and he repeated that he meant everything.

Awww, again, shucks. :) (Though it'd be a bit creepy if he's read the stuff I haven't posted yet...) Thanks!

Congratulations.

I really need to write some more Vi

Yes, please.

Thanks!

I'm almost tempted to continue that Scrubs crossover I wrote once, that hinted at Vi/JD. But that would mean I'd have to watch a lot more Scrubs and I'm not sure my brain can take it.

Congratulations! You make judging easy. :)

Thanks a lot for all your work! I really like the banners, too.
