Award Nominations

I've been nominated for awards.

The mind boggles.

The Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards site has me nominated for two awards currently: Best New Author and Best Post-Series-Finale Fic. I'm one of two people nominated in each category, but as nominations are open for about two more months, I expect that will change. For New Author, I'm up

*eeep* I was nominated?

[makes note to actually *check* my email when I get home]

FYI, don't be so sure you won't win the post-series-finale fic category because:

1) You don't know who else will be nominated.

2) I have length really, really against me on this one.

3) Even I can see the tonal change after the first quarter of the story where yours is more consistent in tone.

4) I have more OCs than you. The greater the number of OCs the less likely people are to read to the end, I've found.

See? Four great reasons!

[I really and truly need to stick my head in my email box at some point.]

Yeah, you have several nominations... I think it's like four or five. Both Living History and Contrite Spirits got nods.

1. True... but I think that Living History is a better story, all-around -- and it actually has an ending! Rather than just a, "...to be continued..."

2. Yeah. You do have a longer story. Of course, the nomination technically says "Of Those Chosen" rather than just The Twins...

3. Yeah. I can see the tonal change, too. I could even before you first mentioned it. Doesn't make the story worse.

4. You don't have that many more OCs than I do. =) I have: Cole, Donner, Janet, Kim, Audrey, Katharine, and Helen. That's seven right there.

But besides all that -- your readership is bigger, and I think that Living History is a neater story. Time travel is just teh sexy. =)

Congrats! If they haven't nominated some nwhepcat, too, they're fools. but I'm already going to have problems deciding who to vote for.

Nominations are open -- you can fill out their form and nominate anyone you want for any of the categories.

And thanks!

Thanks!

And, yeah, if they get some publicity before teh two months is up, there's no telling how many nominations they'll get. Anyone can nominate, too.
