Various and Sundry Exciting Things
Jul. 14th, 2008 06:07 pmHello, lovely f-list!
What was going to be a post to talk about the wonder that is![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
portus_envyhas grown to a two-fold posting. What a week it has been!
Whenbluestocking79and I set up portus_envy as a way to offer a central place for authors and artists to post their prompts, offers, fics, ficlets, drabbles, icons and art, we figured that it would be a great distraction while much of the f-list was away at Portus. Distracting?
If that weren't enough, I came home today to peruse LJ and discovered that The New Library Awards winners have been announced attnl_awards.
As a newbie author, it's always a nail-biting proposition to see how a story is received. Getting nominated and seconded was really cool but I honestly did not expect either story to win anything given the competition.
Are you guys sure that you want to be encouraging this? :D
Thank you to those who voted, and to everybody who encouraged me throughout thewhining writing process. A special award should go to annietalbot who endures more than her share of that whining during the writing. Without her, there would be no stories from me. Not one. Also thanks to ordinary_magic and ariadne1 who lent a discerning eye and great advice throughout the writing of these stories. The best part of the whole writing process has been developing friendships with each of you. What a gift!
*glomps you all.
Congratulations to the other winners on my f-list :ferporcel, bluestocking79, juniperus, zeegrindylows, lariope, miamadwyn, lulabelle72, camillo, mad_queen_mab, angelmischa, and juno_magic for their awards (some, multiply!). And thanks to angelmischa for putting this all together and also for allowing me to participate as judge in some of the categories! Woot!
