Awards!
I just got informed I'd won two awards over at the Shadows & Dust Fanfiction Awards for Closer.
Considering how worried I was about its rather disturbing content, especially in the first two chapters it's been a very pleasant surprise how many people liked it. It's gotten three awards, well including these, and been nominated a couple of other times.
I always feel a bit embarrassed posting about these things but then again someone made the effort to nominate, judge/vote and finally make a graphic for something I wrote and so it seems the least I can do is show how happy I am about it. Even if it does make me feel like a big show off. I've never been very good at taking compliments (ask mr_felis, or even our couple therapist) and so if I ever seem flippant or even unappreciative when announcing these things that would be why. *blushes* It's always appreciated, it always makes me smile and feel very happy, never doubt that. I'm just... shy. Stop laughing! It's true. *hides*
I had something else to say and now I've forgotten. Damn. Some meme-like question thingy. *ponders* Maybe it comes back to me if I don't think about it.
