So
heroes_slash is having some
awards going on. You have heard about it. Now, I thought I might get one or two nominations for Best Matt/Ted (mainly because not so many people write them), but I was not expecting... this. Holy crap.

- Black Out - Best Matt/Ted Fic (G - PG-13)

Wow. That's... *counts them up* 23 nominations. Wow. People out there who nominated me? You guys rock. Seriously. I did self-nominate "Little Corner" for the Best Matt/Ted fic because it's my favorite, and I think the best I've done for those guys. The fact that it got five nominations makes me ridiculously happy. I'm really pulling for it and "Any Other Lover." Those two fics are my babies, and it would be so great if they won. I am very happy just to see them nominated though. At least someone out there likes my writing as much as I do. I think it's funny "Cabin Fever" got the nom for best Ted characterization 'cause it's from Matt's POV. And the nominator didn't say who the characterization in "Mortality Rate" was for. Micah, maybe? If so, that's cool because that was my favorite part of that fic.
I do feel a little weird about the whole NC-17 Matt/Ted category because, as far as I know, the two fics that were nominated are the only two NC-17 Matt/Ted fics. So "Body Heat" is up against "Gas Station Blues" which is pretty fantastic. It just sort of seems weird to me, like my fic didn't get nominated for quality, but because it's the only one out there that would fit into that category. The two fics are also pretty different.
veetvoojagig's had a pretty good dose of humor, whereas mine... didn't. I just don't think I'm going to vote for that category. Having two run against each other just seems awkward to me.
I am a little sad that none of my Sylar/Mohinder stuff got nominated, but there's so many fics out there for that pairing that it's tougher to stand out.
I am running up against some touch competition from other great writers (and occassionally myself as well) in some of there categories. Still, super psyched just for the nominations (seriously, those anonymous nominators I cannot thank enough). Congratulations to all the other nominees as well. Best of luck to everyone!
So everyone go check out the
Heroes Slash Awards, and vote for your favorite fics! If that's mine, awesome. If not, that's cool too. Just make sure you vote!
On another note, I've finally decided what I'm writing for the
rare_heroes Brave New Ship challenge (just in time too), and I'm already about halfway through it. After voting for the
Heroes Slash Awards, go check out these fics too. You won't be disappointed.
