Aw, hey! The Fang Fetish Awards round 10 has bestowed some shiny awards on a couple of my stories. Congrats to flistians ubiquirk, psychoadept, herself_nyc, soft_princess, and mireille719 as well!

I'm tickled pink to report that "Breaking Glass", a story about Giles and Ethan on holiday, about magic, and about portals, got some lovely attention from the Fang Fetish Awards round 9. The notes from the judges made me particularly happy.

And I note that flistians sahiya, ubiquirk, firefly_124, and mireille719 also got some well-deserved kudos. The fandom was ready for stories ( Read more... )

"An Antique Roman", a story about Ethan's troubling yet somehow satisfying take on "Amends", got two shouts out this weekend: it got the nod in Round 8 of the forbiddenawards along with the marvelous "The Giles Thing" by drsquidlove and "Sometimes A Cigar" by allyndra. And then firefly_124 fangirled it! My weekend is made!

Many thanks to fairfax_snark for the prompt (Angel? to be shouted at? hmm!) and to ( Read more... )

Fang Fetish Awards round 8 winners were announced. This was their Mystical Origins round, with a section for Dawn and Connor stories. (Dawn seems to have been more popular than Connor.) "Fenrisulfr" was nodded to as runner-up for Best Dawn Pairing. The winner in that category was "Key to My Heart" by Spikeslovebite (Dawn/Xander).

Bodice Ripper round 10 awards were announced today, and this year's summer_of_giles stories were all over it. How much did I love SoG this year? Mmmmmm.

Many grats of the conga variety to flistians penwiper26, sahiya, firefly-124, soft_princess & mireille719 (who are an ultra-cute unit in my head these days), theblackmare, sweetdoggie, noelia_g, gileswench, and glimmergirl!

Wow, that's a lot of Giles writers on my flist. However did that happen?

Also, "Dust on ( Read more... )

Round 9 of the Bodice Ripper Awards were just announced.

Big shout out to theblackmare, who won the Best Plot and Best Gen awards for "Blood Oranges", a season 4 gen story that filled me with glee. And marmalade. And to apreludetoanend, who won Best Fanart for that great Band Candy icon set. The Best Slash Pairing category was full of great stories, including the fabulous " ( Read more... )

Hey! I just put up all kinds of katekat1010-made banners on my old-fashioned static site. At the ends of stories, so that you are not troubled while you read by graphics. Also I tweaked the css a tad to fix the navigational links in the upper left, so they don't vanish when the page scrolls. I strive to keep the page readable above all else, with dark sans- ( Read more... )

Bodice Ripper Awards round 8 is a bit of an embarrassment of riches! "The Adventure of the Displaced Watcher", "Apples, Oranges, and Pears", and Ars Draconis all got nods.

Also getting the nod: katekat1010's banner for "Reconnection"!

Hey! "Apples, Oranges, and Pears" was runner-up in round 5 of the Fang Fetish Awards in two categories.

First category: Best Gen and other pairings. The winner was Out of Africa by spikendru and my fellow runner up was the ouch-inducing and excellent "Cuckoo in the Nest" by liz-marcs.

The other category was Best Fluff/Lighthearted, which this story certainly was. ( Read more... )

I am having severe difficulties voting for some categories in Bodice Ripper round 8. E.g., best smut fic: two of them were written just for me and how the heck I am supposed to decide which one is least appropriate to read in my workplace because of, well, you know, flushed faces and all?
