OWL Awards! (and other stuff)

[machshefa]

 I don't know how on earth I'm going to vote this round.  The list of exceptional stories is a mile long.  One good thing is that there are many of them that I've not had a chance to read yet--so that means some great fic reading for me!  WOOT!

Congratulations to all of you whose work was also nominated.  You are an exceptional group of writers and I am thrilled to be in your company.

I am honored to have stories nominated this round.  Thank you to all who felt that they should be recognized.  *squishes you

My nominations for the OWL awards are:

Tree of Life:  In Fire and Ice (and I concur with ariadne1 , yowza, look at that list!), and Drama
Second Skin: In Something the Dark Lord Made
As to a Portrait, Gently Drawn: in Lunacy and Hurt/Comfort
Mirrors: in Hurt/Comfort
Thistle Seeds:  Best Death SceneMercy of the Elements:  One Shot

I am overwhelmed.  Thank you :)

In other news, I finally posted Chapter 16 of King of Swords ("Lost and Found") after excessive wibbling.  Chapter 17 is talking to me, and I may use it as a way to get the muse talking to me again whilst my Exchange fic swirls around in my head, deciding what it wants to be when it grows up.

congratulations! the scariest thing about that list was how many of those stories i've not read. i fear i'll never make it through them all.

[machshefa.livejournal.com]

Congratulations to you, too! I don't know how I'm going to get through the reading, either. Many stories I have read, but there are a bunch I haven't... Meep.

Yep. I'm dreading voting for Fire& Ice and Lunacy most of all.

And congrats!

SQUEE for new KoS chappie. Congrats on all the noms! It's going to be incredibly tough to vote in every category as there are numerous fics in each that I absolutely adore.

I've got to get busy reading so I can vote with a clear conscience.
