Wow. You know, for quite a while there, I forgot that I even had an eligible story this year? It's been a long time since I was involved in fic. And now... two noms? I'm quite proud of Steel Shadows, but I never really expected it to get a nomination. Lost Love was a throwaway piece which, in all honesty, I'd completely forgotten even existed. (Sorry, story!) Luckily, Wendy posted the link here, so I could go see what it was about...

(I should probably shut up now. I'm ruining my chances of winning, aren't I?)

Anyway... this is a shock. But... thank you!!

And, of course, congratulations to all the nominees!

Also... I see Steel Shadows, Between Best Friends, The Kiss-Off... How many of this year's nominees are DVD fics? That was an awesome project which produced some really high quality stories, sometimes from really unexpected people. Thanks again to the DVD crew for making it happen!


When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.
