OH MY GOD: I won???

[sevendeadlyfun]

Oh my god! I knew I was nominated at forbiddenawards but I didn't know Ashes to Ashes was nominated. And now, it's won for Best Work In Progress. No, for real!





Ashes To Ashes by sevendeadlyfun

A true psychological thrill ride, deep into the heart of some of the hottest smut this side of Sunnydale. Sevendeadlyfun uses her psychological terms prompt chart with a deft hand and seamlessly weaves the ideas into Spike and Xander's growing relationship. Xander has issues; we all know that! But the skill with which the author delves into the psyche into this character is so delightful that I truly do Ache for more. Please sevendeadlyfun, I need more.

OH MY GOD! Okay, first I want to thank whichever one of you wonderful splendiferous people who nominated me! Secondly, I don't know who wrote the above paragraph, but I darned near cried at those wonderful words. I started writing Ashes as an exercise in both writing and psychology, sort of a way to blend my hobby and my future profession (9 more classes and I'm all graduated!). The award and the lovely praise? A welcomed but unexpected bit of icing on my cake. Thank you so much!

I also won an award for being a good cheerleader, which I actually cherish as much as my writing awards. Being part of fandom is such a great experience and in my opinion, I could not have chosen a nicer, more welcoming and enthusiastic fandom than the Buffy/Angel fandom. You guys totally rock!






And congratulations to all of you on my flist for your many wins: clawofcat , snowpuppies , athenewolfe , darklingdawns , girlpire , ladyvirgo1956 , raemcn , and lilithbint .

Bravo honey!!!! Congratulations!! :D

Congratulations honey, that's terrific news. Very well deserved!!

[anxiety-junkie.livejournal.com]

Whoo-hoo! Awesome-sauce!

Though it's a little freaky that they call the cheerleading award the 'gangbang'. To me that phrase has nasty sexual connotations. *g*

Congratulations honey,
it is wonderful to be in such amazing company.

Sexual connotations in Buffy fandom?

*ponders*

Nah!
