Today is the birthday of zanthinegirl, fangirl extraordinaire, hero to infirm babies, and my meme twin.

Improbably enough, Crushed Spaiku snagged runner-up for Best Ficlet over at the Fang Fetish Awards. This is my first fic award, and I'm tickled to bits to be in such good company. Congrats to all the winners!
