Discovered in my inbox this morning a notice that Seraph has been nominated for Best Gen in the 9th round of the Rogue Poet Awards!

Now, y'all understand that I've been tickled pink about the attention that my little Ozfic has gotten. But having my Spike mpreg WIP nommed is a whole other level of excitement. This fic has taken more out of me than anything I've ever written and I love it dearly, so I'm just totally thrilled about this. Thank you so much, anonymous nominator!

This is going to inspire me to vote then. You deserve to win. I hope you don't mind that I'm saving "Seraph" on my computer for posterity. I haven't been this excited for a story in a long time. Have you done any Spuffy that I should be reading?

Congrats! I got one too today for Thought You Should Know so I can easily imagine how it felt for you after all the hard work you've put into Seraph.

Good luck! I know who I'll be voting for! :)

Eep, there's voting? *cowers* I thought this was one of those judged awards.

I am totally flattered that you're saving Seraph. Frankly, I haven't been this excited about writing a story in long time.

Alas, the entirety of my Spuffy output has been in the last week: the poem and the drabble. I read tons of Spuffy, but I don't seem to write it - I really am a genficcer at heart. Besides, there are so many good authors out there writing Spuffy already, and doing such a good job. Unless I come up with a plot that I know I haven't seen before, that I think needs to be written, I'll probably stick to the occasional drabble and one-shot. (I do have a not-so-secret love of S4 Spuffy, though, so if I ever wrote something, chances are good it'd be that.)

Thank you for the congrats, and good luck to you, too!

Season 4 was one of my favorites (I could watch the episode "The Initiative" every day). I think you'd probably write some great Season 4 Spuffy, so I'll hold onto some hope that a plot bunny surfaces for you. In the meantime, I'll have to check out some of your genfics.

Oddly enough, I really enjoy fic set in S4 even though as a whole it's one of my less favorite seasons to watch (although it does have a number of really fun individual eps, like "The Initiative," "Doomed," and "Restless"). I think possibly it's that since I'm not so attached to the season as a whole, I don't mind seeing it broken for fic purposes. Also, there are a lot of canon ships in flux at that time, which allows lots of room for creative shipping (even though I don't actually do that very much). And, finally, it's a season relatively low on angst, which leaves room for fluffier fics than, say, S6.

Hmm, that was possibly more than you cared to know about my opinions on S4. *g* Hope you enjoy the genfics. :)
