IYFG: Best of 2008

Now comes time for "Best of the Year," when all of the winners from the previous quarters are polled together to determine who wins the year, so to speak. I have one dog in this race - Memento Mori, for Best Oneshot - but considering the very steep competition its up against, I expect it to fail as spectacularly as it did this go around for Best Romance (Inu/Kag).

...I never knew I had so many heavy-weights on my f-list! Wow!

Congratulations and good luck to everyone! :) Polling runs from March 1 - March 14.

Returning the favor

This has turned into Fandom Sunday, LOL. (Apologies in advance for spamming your f-lists, but this is SO worth it.)

So I'm checking my f-list this evening, and what should I find but the response to my most recent drabble meme fic! I wrote a short Sess/Rin piece for Langus ("My Innocent"), and in exchange I asked for a Sess/Kag piece, set in the canon universe, based from this piece of art.

Now, for those of you who aren't familiar with her, Langus is an extremely talented author. She's probably best known for Love's Smirking Revenge (Inu/Kag), but before that she wrote two huge Sess/Kag canon-set epics, Incomplete and Sword of Supreme Conquest. She's one of the authors I set my standards by, so to have a gift fic/drabble meme exchange with her was awesome and honorable in its own right.

And she totally blew me out of the water. Click here to read the gorgeous piece she wrote, and see how it's really done ;)

(While I'm on the subject, I'll pimp out my recommendations list, which is logged at my LJ but is always being updated. If you're looking for a good read, I heartily stand behind these stories/authors - and ditto the art).
