Winter Awards Nominations
Jan. 18th, 2009 02:00 amHeh, this quarter/term of awards nominations is pretty crazy, especially if you are aligned with pairing-centric sites as well as the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
iy_fanguild and fa_awards. The Feudal Association term just finished, but it's already time to nominate/second again at the IYFG, Eternal Destiny, and Dokuga. Would it be too much to ask for some variation in the calendar, LOL?
I've been doing my part, though - here's the list of my nominations thus far:
( Eternal Destiny: January 2009 term )
( Dokuga: 1st Quarter 2009 )
( IYFG: 4th Quarter 2008 )
I've also been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of the nominations this term :) Thanks so much to everyone who's given my stuff a bit of consideration! :)
Eternal Destiny
Best Love Story: Memento Mori & Perfect Kiss
Best Fairy Tale: Memento Mori
IYFG (still to be seconded)
Best Romance - Inuyasha/Kagome: Memento Mori
Best Short Short: Forbidden Desire
I'm still amazed at how well Memento Mori has been received - it's so much the little drabble that could, LOL :) I'm really excited to see the nod for Forbidden Desire ~ it's a true drabble (100 words), it was originally penned for a contest prompt, and it's more sensual than my general fare. My collection of contest entries is by far my largest output of work, so for any of it to receive a fandom-wide nod is really, really exciting for me :D (Perfect Kiss was also originally written for a contest.) I approach writing for contests completely differently than writing an 'original' story - in the former, its the challenge of writing for a prompt within certain (sometimes strict) restrictions, whereas in the latter its more a struggle to contain my muses and keep the piece internally consistent in plot and characterization.
