I am made of YAY!
I was waiting out of guilt to post an update, to at least one of my stories, before screaming...THANK YOU for the
citrus_awards I received.
I was best author again, which I do not think I deserve and if you know me, you can confirm that is not false modesty. I hold very little faith in the technical quality of my writing.
But given that...Hell Yeah...I'll take it!
Not only best author, but Perfectly Reasonable Explanation, Sophie Fluff and....my and Brandy's little side crack! project SPN spinoff won.
That is way more than I could have expected. I cannot express how much I appreciate that people read my stories. There is no way I can sum up how much I have enjoyed being a part of the OC fandom. It's like a gift that keeps on giving. When I read stuff I posted from 2004, it's like I was a different person...this meek little scared wimp of a person who was almost too afraid to post stories. I've gotten over that ridiculousness. I'm not the world's gift to grammar, that's for damn sure. But I like writing fanfic. It's fun. And it's nice to be supported by loyal readers. So nice.
Once upon a time I didn't think I was worthy of a Citrus nomination or even posting stories because I allowed comments from a couple of people to sour my fun in a playground I didn't realize was supposed to be reserved for a chosen few.
I'm so very over trying to make fanfiction such serious business.
I'll leave that bullshit to others.
Life's too short.
And writing is too much fun.
I'm sorry the awards have probably run their course. I want to thank
jenskyies,
inevitablefict and
shelbecat for taking the time and having the patience to assume the work and no doubt headache of running them. They are made of awesome.
