A special congrats to the winners on my f-list:

I did not vote in several categories because I had not read any of the entries. I do not spend very much time over at ED. Congrats to all of my friends who placed. The banners are usually very nice.
no subject
I was rather surprised at the pattern of voting over there (I need to learn to stop being surprised at awards voting, LOL). One category - AU/AR - had more "no award should be given" votes than the winner garnered! o.O
I don't read a lot at Eternal Destiny either because I find the formatting very difficult to work with (and obviously, LOL, I have no idea what's "popular" over there since most of the folks I voted for didn't win or didn't place...), but I'm always up for an opportunity to recognize the genius of my f-list :D

Thank you for the noms!! I really appreciate it! ED is always hard to get a read on since it's not easy to get an idea on what is considered "popular". But I have to give the site props because that's where I first started posting and got some love!
Of course, congrats to everyone else here at LJ who placed. I think our F-list looks a great deal alike!

Same to you, x2, since I think I did all the nominating for your fics :) Seriously, I was really pleased to see your stuff place ~ probably moreso than my own! I'm happy when my friends are honored :)

You're one of the few who gets feedback at ED...I post my stuff but it hardly ever gets read/commented on. Oh, well - no pain, no gain, etc etc.
Huzzah!

I've been posting on ED since I started writing fanfic, but lately, I get behind on my updating, then all of a sudden, post a bunch over a few days. I need to do that again soon.
no subject
Intriguing...

I'm not a fan of the formatting there, so unless I'm just in a frenzy, I usually don't upload there til last, and sometimes a few days after everywhere else - if I have mistakes in my stuff I want to catch them, because there's no easy way to edit over there that I've found.

I'll gladly take 2nd place. My fic and that other one were neck and neck last time I checked ;)

And thanks for the congrats; I was floored when I saw the results. O.o It seems as though a lot of newer authors won, so that's good. And I was happy when all of my nommed pieces placed, too. There's definitely a sort of satisfaction that comes with that. ^_~

Yes, its always nice to see a good variety among the placements. If nothing else, it means the community is still growing :)

Definitely! I think its safe to say that most of my enjoyment from awards comes from seeing other authors I like win, moreso than for myself.

*falls off of chair laughing* You are WAY too funny....

There's somebody on LJ with an gif icon that has that (a guy popping up from various scenes saying "Surprise motherfuckers!") and when I read the definitions of the categories that's all I could think of, LOL.
Just another one of those times that I wish I had more icon space...
