Kathy - thank you for your kind words. I had 3 individual stories nominated that year and 1 the next [and not much posted after that until this year] so surely there is/was something to back up the nom at least smile . However, coming after Shayne [have you *read* his stuff?!?!] and before Kaylle [can you say 'In Dreams'?!?!], I still feel extremely undeserving. I did go back and reread the comments from my nominated stories and that was a nice pick me up. Think one may have even sparked a story idea [like I need that right now!], but we'll see...
