Back to say... I honestly believed that this year I would be sitting back and cheering the deserving nominees from the audience. I had no expectation at all of being nominated - after all, I really don't write L&C fic any more.
And then I saw the list.
Even as I'm still picking myself up from the floor, I want to say a huge
thank you to everyone who nominated
Finding Christmas Spirit. As I said at the time, it was a brief dipping of my toe in the water of L&C to see if I was still capable of writing the characters. I was overwhelmed by the lovely response to the story at the time, and now I'm stunned. Thank you.
Even if I know the other stories in the category are way better, it's an honour to be in there.
Congratulations and good luck to all the other nominees!
Wendy
