Dokuga: 2nd Quarter 2009 Nominations

[luxken27]

The Dokuga nominations were released today for general viewing before voting (which begins next weekend). Many thanks to priestess_skye for stepping in to take over at the last second; here's hoping things run smoothly for you!

Here is the full list for those interested. Voting starts next weekend and runs through the end of the month (and is open to everyone).

When I saw the list, I was...well, shocked doesn't quite cover it. For a myriad of reasons, but most of them assuredly good :)

I was nominated for:

Best AU/AR: Fleeting
Best Characterization - Kagome: Allegiance
Best Characterization - Sesshoumaru: Allegiance
Best Romance: Fleeting

and I made the following nominations: (click here)

Considering my competition (in all categories), I don't have half a chance in hell of placing, but it certainly is flattering and mood-boosting to be nominated, all the same :)

Congrats on your nominations. They were well deserved.

Thanks :) I was excited to see one for characterization but when I scrolled down and saw the other...I had a huge smile. Especially for that fic. Don't think I have half a chance in hell of winning, but its nice to be recognized nonetheless :)

And the nods for Fleeting are like icing on the awesomesauce cake. Sometimes I feel like I love that fic more than life itself.

You were shocked that you were nominated or that other people were nominated? Because I don’t know why you would be shocked that you were nominated and I also don’t know why you wouldn’t think you have a chance in hell of winning something. You’re an awesome writer, you have just as much chance as anyone else.

Oh, I almost forgot, congrats on your nominations.

I was shocked: 1) that I was nominated, 2) what I was nominated for, and 3) some of the other authors/stories that were nominated. I'm always shocked; I set my personal expectation level very low - I'd rather be surprised than disappointed, LOL.

Having been around the awards block a time or two, I'm not putting any eggs in any baskets just yet, but I will openly admit I covet recognition of my characterization, because I work damn hard on it :P I feel like I have a better chance in one category than another, but I'd be happy with any placement at all, you know? The fact that people read these fics at all, and enjoy them enough to nominate them for awards, makes me happy and grateful beyond words. I wouldn't be writing these pieces if I didn't love them as well :)

Congrats on your nominations as well, and best of luck! =)

Didn't even know I was nominated, I had to go check it out. Thanks, I will need all the luck I can get. I do love The Sport Of Kings and I'm very happy with the way it's turning out but I don't think it has any chance of getting anything.

The best of luck to you also, even though I don't think you need it and you will probably get something.

Congrats to you!

Dancing With Scissors was disqualified in so many categories it was hard to nominated. I am glad you were recognized for Outmatched.

[piratequeen0405.livejournal.com]

I think it was disqualified in every category for which it was otherwise eligible, besides Best Portrayal Sess and Best Comedy--I'm still surprised it hasn't yet gotten nom'd in that category...just shows I have no clue what's funny :)

Congrats on your nominations! :D

Congrats on your nominations!

I don't think that you should be surprised. You seem to take a lot of time and effort to make your characters really work -- and it shows.

Good Luck!
