I'm stunned in R/D fashion. "A Place Like Tomorrow," part one

There were lots of great fics written for rd_challenge. And to my exceeding shock (especially since it was long), well, I seem to have won the angst category.

Not at all unbelievable, my dear. Not at all. It was definitely one of the best in the angst category, possibly in the whole challenge. Yes, quite possibly.

You are too kind. I can still see many of the flaws in it, but I'm thrilled to bits that it did so well. Especially since it's so bloody long!!

Glad that you participated as well; it's always a privilege to beta for you. I think my catharsis for the angst is now writing Slave Breakers, though I'm about to write angsty SB. *g* Then back to the Elves. And Wraeththu. So many fandoms...

congrats, hon. (((hugs)))

Thank you very much! I really didn't expect that at all. Usually writing long stories is rather the death knell, but we're a small 'ship. But still. There were very other strong contenders in the angst category, to be sure. No rest for the weary, though: other stories are beckoning in different fandoms! Thanks for commenting; I appreciate it.

I don't know why you're so surprised. I remember how stunning this was in the snippets you'd sent to Hannah and I while it was still a work in progress.

I giggled with glee (really!) when I saw that you'd won.

Congratulations!

Well, because Callum's fic, especially, stands out in his unique use of imagery and vocabulary, and was quite stunning in its plot. But I've found often that longer fics don't do as well, so I really didn't expect to win.

Thank you! I'm tickled! I've been doing really well since April: a Wraeththu winning, and a couple of older HP fics commemorated over at TQP thanks to Wolfie. ;)

congrats sweet heart
As soon as I saw the reveal yesterday, I put this on my to read list, which is rather long and growing since I haven't had energy/mood/time to read - but I hope to get to it real soon. :)

Many thanks! I'm honestly quite surprised and very flattered. It's just so great to have a couple of stories I worked on months ago finally come out into the light of day! Hazard of exchanges and this challenge, lol.

Take your time; you have a lot on your plate. (((warm hugs)))
