So the winners of the
heroes_het_fic awards were announced today, and first and foremost: my flist CLEANED UP. Congratulations, all you awesomely talented people! You all deserve all your winnings!
YAYYYY. I'm least surprised about this one; I figured my chances were best in this category, since "Namesake" is my most popular Heroes fic if number of comments is anything to go by.
I actually consider this practically as good as winning first place in this particular category--I knew as soon as I saw that
saathi1013's "I Sing the Body" was nominated that everyone else was competing for second place. I've never actually read "I Sing," but I've heard enough fandom chatter to know that it's apparently one of the best fanfics ever written full stop. So I'm happy to be voted "best of the rest." :p Once again, all the credit/blame for this particular fic goes to my homeboy Euripides.
I was totally not expecting to place in this category. The competition was stiff! Of course, that could be said for pretty much all of the categories.
This one definitely surprised me too, but that whole category was such a grab bag of totally different pairings that I suppose it was bound to be a little random.
Here's where it gets really surprising. I honestly figured I had no chance at winning anything in any of the genre categories, just due to the fact that aside from "Sins of the Father" and "Namesake," I don't really write any of the popular/mainstream pairings. So these last two were an extremely pleasant shock! My jaw was on the floor, for serious.
Many many thanks to everyone who voted for me! ♥
