My Eligibles... and Help?
So, there's a new category in the sshg_awards, which just started taking nominations: Finite Incantatem: Best Newly Completed Fic (This category has its own rules. Stories nominated for this category began posting at any time prior to July 21, 2008 but were completed between July 21, 2008 and July 21, 2009.)
Anyone know some candidates I can nominate? (and no, not making another list post...) I immediately thought of lullabelle72's Jitters--certainly my favorite recently completed SSHG fic, but it was completed after the cut-off date so I'd have to wait till next round. I then looked at what I had rec'd on KIA (I rarely rec WIPs before completion) but Spellcaster by SGCbearcub, seemingly the next possible candidate, was completed before the cut-off date. So, anyone know of any stories that fulfill the above criteria for the new category? I can't think of one!
It might be a good idea btw to post a list of your eligible stories this week. (Especially if any fit the category above--and do mention if you're eligible for "New Author.") Don't think of it as self-pimping, think of it as a service to us all. I didn't write much this year at all. My eligible stories would be the two shorts Surfacing and Madmen and Englishwomen, two drabble series, Not Just a Pretty Face and Twice Blessed and seven single drabbles, Brilliant, But Scary, Heart of Oak, Tether and Just a Crack (and one, two, three drabble sequels to "Not Just a Pretty Face." All renitaleandra's fault).
Pathetic, I know, even if you add my one Snuna, The Hunting of the Snark and my romancingwizard Molly ficlet, Mated Pair, my Ron/Pansy ficlet on sortinghatdrabs, Sorthing Things Out and 3 drabbles in other pairings (SSLE, Stairway to Heaven; HPLL, Stargazing; and HGPP, Oyster) to the list of what I wrote during this period. Only 13,507 words in total, less than last year's of about 20,000. Hopefully I'll do better next time with my writing. OK, so I showed you mine--show me yours?
My Post-Deathly Hallows SSHG - Year Two list does have every completed story above 10,000 words, but below that there are so many stories and drabbles I had to be selective. With WIPs, I generally only listed those that have reached 40,000 words, and you won't easily find eligibles for the new category above through my lists since I don't include completion dates, so again, posting your eligibles would be helpful to your f-listies, especially since different posting dates on different archives can confuse the issue.
Edit: So far people have brought my attention as eligible in the new category: irishredlass69's Require Your Assistance; ariadne1's No Loyalty in the Moonlight; subvers's The Love You Take, miamadwyn's Care of Magical Creatures, lady_rhian's Sage, little_beloved's Denial, Marisol's The Godfather, A Plus's Splintered and Broken and lariopefic's Second Life. Anything else? Also, keladry_lupin is linking to various people's eligibility lists here and lovedraughts here.
