This is just a note to say that I am actually going to be nominating people and participating in the
arpea-awards. Last year I went and voted, and congratulated those that had won (that I knew) and was pleased to see what felt like a fair awards community.
It has been a long time since I've allowed myself and my characters to participate in such a thing, and I still completely respect anyone that doesn't want to have their characters/writing nominated. If you'd prefer I not nominate someone that you write, please let me know here and I'll make sure to disclude them.
I find myself extremely lucky to write with so many amazing writers, and I have enjoyed every moment of it all. I try to tell you all individually that you are talented, but I also know how it feels to see a username associated with a specific thing as well.
I wish you all luck, and I'll be filling this form out forever!
