Love to the Nominees (Except Wonderfulchild, I HATE YOU)

Nov 02, 2009 17:18

The nominees for the sshg_awards have been posted here with links. Voting begins on the 5th and runs an entire month, so there's time to catch up on stories here you missed, and voting is a lot less involved than nominating (you don't have to worry about what's eligible among other things, and only one vote per category so you don't have to write out multiple ( Read more... )

There are some things it's hard to say if you're nominated.

Which is where, for once, not being nominated I have an advantage. *evil smirk*

I know any kind of award thing like this is subjective in every way. I know people get hurt. I know how it feels to get hurt in these and similar things.

I know, and I know some have claimed that not being rec'd on KIA hurts, that even when a reccer has offered a mild crit or reservation it hurts. I don't know what to say to that. Except that part of fandom has always been in sharing the squee. Are we supposed to not even talk about the stories we love or ever rec them to people who want to start someplace? But you're just not entitled to the recognition--and how empty would it be if you had to whine or guilt trap or bully someone into it?

I've heard rumors of bitching, and it just annoys the fuck out of me. Thank you for addressing it so bluntly.It happens every year. I don't remember the bitchin' ever being public in Trek though, and a lot of the crit of the awards there was justified imo ( ( ... )

In the Trek awards cheaters were caught almost every round trying to vote with socks. Think about that a minute. Cheating. For a JPEG. One you can't put on a resume or CV. One you'd know you didn't earn. The mind boggles. People take these things waaaaaay too seriously.

Wipe that smile off, Missy! I'm suffering! *whinges*

And you know, I'm not posting as I get a chapter anymore--but when I finish. So just think, you get to Britpick about 60,000 words...

Hear, Hear!

And a WOOT! for picking up BoS again.

*sobs* But...but...it hurts!

*eyes Word with loathing*

shefa November 2 2009, 23:17:23 UTC

*pats you

I know it hurts... I know. I'm staring at King of Swords with loathing right now b/c it's got thorns poking me. *sigh

Do you write to music? I never thought it was possible, but I've discovered that if I can figure out which song to play at very low volume in the background it sometimes flicks a little switch... And then I don't throw the story against the wall. Usually.

My friend and beta djinnfic made a playlist for me here BOS I then downloaded. And even though I've loved the compilation, I only really tried it once--I don't usually find it conducive. I'm going to try again, if only because at home I have a lot of distractions I hope it'll close out.

And it's a rockin' list of songs to listen to--most on there have YouTube links. Some are eerily appropriate, not just to BOS by Snape in general.
