2007 LMFA New Slash Author Nominee
2008 LMFA New Gen and Slash Author Nominee, Four Slash Story Categories Nominee
MASTER FICTION LIST for THE SENTINEL
Welcome to my journal. I'm listed as an author under Laurie and laurie_ky. Stories written In the last six months will be marked as NEW. I began writing in 2007, and I find it a very satisfying endeavor.
I was nominated in 2007 for new slash author at Light My Fires Awards and in 2008 for new gen and new slash author. Several of my stories have been nominated for 2008 LMFAs, which thrills me to pieces, and I thank everybody who recommended my stories.
I want to thank the wonderful people who have beta’ed my stories. t_verano who has put in an enormous amount of time and energy and whose thoughtful comments not only help me with the nuts and bolts of grammar, but tutor me in the ways of crafting a story. janedavitt for her assistance and for being so willing to help me with posting as well.
To the readers: Thank you so much for reading my stories. I've found that feedback is very interesting to me, as I learn new things about my own stories that way, but I don't regard it as payment for reading a story. And if you would rather read quietly, that is fine. I did it for mucho years before giving my first comment to an author.
Warnings Policy I think the most fair thing for me to do is to list these warnings/spoilers under a LJ cut on my journal. It seems the best way to balance between those who want or need warnings and those who would like to be surprised where the story goes. On archives or other communities, I will post warnings as per their policies. Multichapter stories will be warned both on the Master Story List and for each chapter. My warnings -- click to see them I'm willing to add to the list if I'm told something was left out that needs a warning.
