Eeeeeeee! Seraph has won an award! Specifically, it was awarded Best Gen over at the Rogue Poet Awards against some really tough competition (including deird1's fabulous fic Small Spaces, which I've recced here before and which won Runner Up).



Yay pretty! And score one for the mpreg.

Big congrats to the other winners, half of whom are on my flist; clearly I have excellent taste. Or really smart friends. Or something. *g* So, congrats to rebcake, gabrielleabelle, penny_lane_42, hello_spikey, angearia, clawofcat, enigmatic_blues, moscow_watcher, and deird1. Hurrah.

Also, I'm disproportionately pleased that a fic I nommed won its category - I'm almost more excited about that than I am about Seraph. Makes me feel all warm and gooey inside. :)

This is the only conclusion, clearly.

Or really smart friends.

Or this. :D

[snickfic]

Tee hee. :)

[deird1]

Congrats! Very much deserved. *offers you cake*

[snickfic]

Yay! Cake! (Is this special Aussie cake? Perhaps with drop bears in icing on the top?)

[deird1]

Hee!

(No. One does not taunt the drop-bears. Invoking them, even in icing, could end in disaster.)

Actually, I think "cake" is one of the few food varieties that Australia doesn't have a special version of. Unless you count pavlova.

*wants a fic about the hazards thereof*

Congrats!

Congrats, honey! Seraph is made of win! :)

Hey, that's what happens when you write A Very Good Story! Congratulations.

Congratulations! Much deserved award. Seraph is one of the main reasons I check LJ every day, to see if there's an update, and I'm always so excited when one is there! Your Spike has me falling in love with him all over again.

[next_to_normal]

Congratulations!

[snickfic]

Thanks. :)

[snickfic]

Thank you! I guess now I have the banner to prove it, eh? :)

[snickfic]

*giggle* Thank you. :)

[snickfic]

Thank you! :)

[snickfic]

Your Spike has me falling in love with him all over again.

Wow. I can't think of any higher praise than that. Thank you so much!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Yay! I have to admit that I was nearly more excited over your win than any of mine. So incredibly deserving.

Also, that is quite a talented flist you have!

[snickfic]

Eep. Thank you so much.

Also, that is quite a talented flist you have!

Yup. :)

Incidentally, I get the Beatles song stuck on my head at least two or three times a week due to your username. I don't even like the Beatles! It's all your fault. *g*

[seapealsh.livejournal.com]

I have to say I'm not surprised! Congratulations! If everyone would write mpreg like you it would be better accepted. I always eagerly await your updates.

Congratulations! Seraph has been at the top of my summer read list for weeks now, and gosh darn-it, my summer's half gone! I'm going to start fixing that today. :D

[snickfic]

Thank you. :)

[snickfic]

Thank you! Keep in mind that Seraph is a little strange - you're under no obligation to like it. *g*

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Too late! I'm already quite fond of it. *eyes housework morosely* Only a mountain of chores will prevent my devouring it in one go. I can already clearly see that it's going to be reward fic. :)

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

Seraph is a wonderful story, and it's terrific to see it get recognized this way. Congratulations!

Also, thanks for mentioning me! I don't think I would've known if all my friends (who are totally made of win) hadn't tipped me off! We do know the most amazingly talented people, don't we?

[snickfic]

Thank you!

We do know the most amazingly talented people, don't we?

Yup. Not bad for a fandom whose show has been off the air six years now, eh? Especially since most of those folks I listed are new within the last couple of years.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

That is so funny to me, because I don't like the Beatles, either! (And people routinely treat me like I'm crazy for this, but I'd rather lesson to hard rock a la Led Zeppelin or even poppier stuff like the Beach Boys--Pet Sounds is an awesome album--than the Beatles. Weird.)

But I was going to say that the name is actual from Almost Famous, one of my favorite movies, and not a reference to the song at all. Except that the name in the movie is a reference to the song...so I guess it's a reference removed?

[snickfic]

Hee. I'd take the Beach Boys over the Beatles any day. I'd take Zeppelin over the Beatles most days, except when I'm feeling frazzled and hard rock gets on my nerves.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I understand. There are days I can't listen to "Kashmir" or "Immigrant Song"--but those are the days I pull out III and listen to "Tangerine" and "That's the Way" and the nice, soft, pretty songs. I think people often forget that they can do pretty really, really well.

[snickfic]

I'm actually just starting to get acquainted with classic rock, hard and otherwise, and at the moment I'm mostly limited to what they play on the classic rock station.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Discovering it has been a great joy to me. I grew up on really light stuff from that era--Simon and Garfunkle, Bread, that sort of thing, because that's what my daddy listened to. My teenage years were all about figuring out Queen and the Allman Brothers and Aerosmith and such.

Led Zeppelin is my favorite; I love them as much as I love, say, Joni Mitchell. And if ever the really heavy stuff gets too much for you, if you can you should check out their third album. The second half is almost entirely acoustic, and it's gorgeous.

The only two radio stations I listen to are NPR (I love Fresh Air and Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me) and classic rock, too. I've found so much stuff that way.

[snickfic]

Simon and Garfunkle!

*adores Simon and Garfunkle*

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

They're wonderful. And timeless.
