My 2 cents

First off, though she'll never read it, my apologies go to Indy. If I'd just been a selfish git, I wouldn't have asked her to do the FF thing and I'd have done it myself and taken all the shit that's come down from it. Sorry, Indy. I won't do that again

Thanks, Cosmic. I, personally, like your stories and was sad not to see them up there, but I hope you continue to write em so next year, your name will be all over the place. *g*

I think there are a bunch of stories out there that are better than mine. Most weren't nominated. But then again, it's a total judgement call, you know? It's what each person likes and their own perceptions of what makes a good--for them--story. I'm happy that I won. It's nice to be recognized, but like I've said, one vote does not a win make. And that's all it was. One vote out of many. ::shrug::

Thanks again, tho. And write more!!!

I'll take anything! Just write! Please? Maybe do a drabble for my Biography thingie? *begs*

*scrubs hands over face* I'm at the point where I don't want to get involved in this anymore because I end up inadvertantly pissing people off when stating my point of view, but I wanted to explain my thing about self voting.

In and of itself, I have no problem with it. The problem is that *I* have gotten severe shit for doing it myself to the point of being fucking banned from a community for it. And it was only for one category and it was, of course, only because I thought I did the best job. This is not a Whose Line related thing at all, but what it comes down to for me is I just can't vote for myself again because I don't want to... I don't know... fuck up or get in trouble or whatnot. But I can tell you I was pissed as all fuck for that incident and let everyone have a piece of my mind for it. I guess it just had an affect on me, though. That's all.

And now I just want to back off from this whole thing.

Clay, I understand, and it's cool with us, I hope. We have different experiences and backgrounds with things and that's just the way it is.

I was just trying to say that I didn't vote for myself becuase I was jonesing for a banner or an award. I have them. I just did it because it was a vote and I voted with my conscience, as I always do. I appreciate that you see things differently, and have no problem with it. Or, of course, you, since I still love ya, ya shit.

I'm glad. I guess I've just been really worried that you're angry with me, which I find incredibly disquieting. And I have no problem with you voting for yourself. I believe that you know you're loved enough in this fandom to not need awards to prove it. So as long as you're cool with me, I'm cool with you.

[makingamochrie]

I'm totally cool with you, my friend. We may bump heads occasionally, but I think our days of out and out fighting are past. Hell, if I can write G/R for you, well.... *g*

[anoel]

That's a good perspective to have on it :) Personally, I'm not seeing all the bad reactions to it so I'm not entirely sure where all of it is coming but I understand the sentiment and is one reason that awards make me a bit wary. I totally agree with not caring who its written by, its about the well written part. And yes, the more new writers, the better. You never know who could write that next gem of a fic (that wins all of the awards next year ;)).

[makingamochrie]

Exactly!!! And because I love reading fanfic, I want to read new ones, no matter who writes them. More more more!!!
