So I just stopped by
lost_fic_awards and was (pleasantly and incredibly) surprised to see that some people liked "Penitent" a fair amount. And that I owe huge, huge thanks to everyone who put my name in other places. I think this is one of the best months I've ever seen in terms of fic quality - everyone seems to have written and posted fic of particular brilliance, which, in my little sector of Lost fandom, is saying something. I feel really, really honoured to be included along with so many great pieces of work, all of which deserve to win massively. This month more than ever, it will be nearly impossible to avoid saying "I vote for everything in this category, because every single one deserves it." I am massively flattered, and I'm blushing really hard.
(Keep up the good work, everyone. Voting dilemmas like these are the kind of problems I really like to have.
