IYFG: 2nd Quarter 2009 Nominations

[luxken27]

Against my better judgment, perhaps I made a slate of nominations for the 2nd Quarter 2009 IYFG awards. This is subject to updates, as there are still a few categories I'm picking over for a nomination. (To that end - if you have a suggestion, I'm all ears - its been a very busy quarter on my end and I haven't read nearly as much as I'd have liked).

Congratulations are in order for the following authors/stories - you cleared the first hurdle! =)

Wow - You've nominated me in some fabulous company... I'm blushing -_-;;

I'm also relieved - You helped clear up a few noms I've been "ehhhhh"-ing over, trying to decide between two, for a while now ^_^

[luxken27]

You're welcome for the nods (do you see what I mean about the dream yet?), and you're welcome for the help in clearing up your own slate, hehe. I was surprised and pleased to see these go through without an edit attached ~ I know Milareppa's story, especially, has been generating some fandom buzz lately.

*grins, nods and blushes*

Oh, I know! It deserves it - very, very well-written ^_^

Are you sure you are old enough to view porn?

[luxken27]

LOL! :P In my current country of residence - oh yes :D

You can tell who is and isn't from around here by the reactions to the randomly-placed sex shops on market streets. The Dutch don't even blink...

Thanks for the two nods for Rokujou - I'm still like wow, there's so much buzz over it :D

Which reminds me, some thanks are long over due...

These are some great stories here :D

You're welcome! I love that fic, and it more than deserves recognition in those two categories.

These are some great stories here :D

What can I say? I move in talented circles =)

Thanks for the nod! I feel so special to be with the present company. I'm surprised to even get one, considering I've been semi-MIA. I am writing but they just aren't coming together like I hoped.

It was hard for me to choose between this and 'Wait', truth be told ~ both are such beautiful, intense pieces of fic that completely capture their main characters. I ultimately chose the one I did because of Sango. Just like I associate Sesshoumaru with snow, I associate her with rain, and you just knocked it out of the park.

I'm surprised to even get one, considering I've been semi-MIA.

I know what you mean - I felt exactly the same way when I saw my name pop up on the nominations list! (Thanks dreaming_trees!)
