Thanks to everyone who voted for my pieces in contention. Memento Mori came in 3rd Place for "Best Love Story" and 1st Place for "Best Fairy Tale"! I'm also pleased as punch to see the pieces I nominated placed :D

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

selinamac,

kmoaton,

langus_fiction, and

knittingknots! :)

Congrats on your placing at ED. I did vote vote in most of the categories.
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.

Thanks! :) Hehe, I think I'm happier to see

kmoaton's placements in her categories, seeing as how I nominated her fics ;)

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

Congratulations on your wins!

Thanks! :)

Congratulations on your places! (Especially Memento Mori, since I nommed it for best love story! LOL!)

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!

Congrats on your placings. I did not even know about the voting until luxken told me about it. In order to place in category you had go up against some very popular competition.

I totally agree! I didn't expect to place at all after seeing who else was in the catagories so it was a real honor to see that I had! Thanks for going to vote even though ED is not your usual hangout.

Congratulations on your places! (Especially Memento Mori, since I nommed it for best love story! LOL!)

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 :)

This

bluezinthos person is definitely popular over there, LOL. I think she won every categroy she was nominated into, and for multiple stories no less! All hail the queen bee? :P

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!

Blue's a trip. You should get to know her...

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.

Intriguing...

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.

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.

It's like posting to dA...best way to edit is to replace the original file...for me it's cut and paste. I don't do a lot with bold or italic, so it's not a big deal for me. I just write all my files as .rtf, and paste them into the editor.

I do that, too (save as .rtf files and c/p into the editor) but it seriously screws with the spacing and sometimes the word limit is arbitrary (hence having to upload what would be one chapter at any other archive as 2 or 3 at ED and IYFF, which uses the same software). Plus the times I have tried to go in and replace chapters, it's rejected it for whatever reason. So...yeah, not worth the hassle :P

(I am the italics queen sometimes though... /shame)

Congrats, congrats! And thanks to all who nom'd and voted!

Congrats yourself! :) It was an interesting ride the first time through, but I'm happy to see so many good authors did well (for a change...). Huzzah!

Congrats!! ^_^

Thanks! :) Here's hoping the next time these things roll around it won't be at the same time as the IYFG/FA/Dokuga, LOL.

Congrats lady! Some very well deserved wins!

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

Oi, oi, to you as well! :) I'm proud to say I voted for you!

Congratulations, girlie!! Momento Mori is definitely one of my faves...and the final lemon was hawt. ;) Well deserved placements!!

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. ^_~

Congrats on the success of all of your entries.

Thank you very much! :)

It seems as though a lot of newer authors won, so that's good.

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

And I was happy when all of my nommed pieces placed, too. There's definitely a sort of satisfaction that comes with that. ^_~

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.

Best Plot Twist (surprise muthafuckas!)

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

Heh, I try.

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...
