Genesis Awards Amazement

Friggin' hell, karma decided to smile on me since that assault on Wednesday (two pupils thought it was hil-effing-arious to slam the handle of a door into my spine when I was standing in front of it, which, since I already have back problems thanks to my car accident, left me writhing about in a needs-oxygen-but-lungs-have-seized-up kind of way

I'm waiting to see what senior management are doing about this one, since I haven't taught that class since it happened so I don't know if the girls are still in school. I can plot a proper recourse when I know whether we have another carpet-sweeping incident.

But you're right: IT'S CLOBBERIN' ... uh, I mean IT'S SHADOWBLASTIN' TIME!

Congrats!!!!

And what Dragon said. Have the cops been brought in on all these assaults?

[obabscribbler]

Playing the wait-and-see game until Monday when I find out what's going on. *crosses fingers*

And thank you. ^_^

Congrats on a well deserved accolade!

Cops should be called! And if school admins are stonewalling on that, then it's time to take legal action againest all of them!

[obabscribbler]

Agreed.

And thank you.

hey! congrats! I'm glad karma is finally balancing things out a bit for you!

Cheers. It's nice when the Internet reaps dividends instead of just drowning people in the hate, fail and wank.

And the stupidity. Must've forget the rampant but oh-so-entertaining stupidity.

Oh please, Scrib, when are you going to realize you're an AWESOME fanfic writer no matter what sandbox you're playing in? Seriously, I don't even read fic for fandoms I'm not in (if I somehow could or did, you'd be seeing me peppering your fics with reviews a lot more often), but I know that just from the shared fandoms we ARE in together. I learned it fairly quickly.

You were fabulous then and you've only gotten better. Pat yourself on the back; you deserve any award nods OR wins!

I can't help it. To me, my fanfic will always be mediocre - not because I'm fishing for compliments, but because my Inner Perfectionist spots problems in all of it even after posting, and because ... well, because I genuinely think there are so many writers out there who are so much BETTER than me, that it feels like I'm stealing their thunder when I get nominated for things, even when I'm not. It's difficult to explain without sounding like an idiot. Even I reread what I've just written and think I sound irritating. I'm not trying to be all LIKEMELIKEMEFORTHELOVEOFGODLIKEME! and I am grateful that people keep being so nice to me, I just find it hard to believe that something I do could merit it.

Oh, I totally get you. I'm always ripping apart my fics (old and new) and spotting old errors. I'm paranoid about letting any potential new readers see a chapter with possible plot holes, spelling or grammar errors, or whatever. And it's humbling to be friends with so many fantastic writers like yourself, because even if we write in different ways, for different KINDS of stories (never mind genres or fandoms), I think "I can't be anything like that! I wish I had what they had!" But I don't like to put myself down, either; the only way I can improve is by reading more and more and participating with others and learning.

My Inner Perfectionist is probably a bit modest on occasion, but enough compliments and I'll be over the moon. (In real life, I think someone complimenting me either wants something or is lying to make fun of me. Go fig.)

Narf narf. :P
