Yay! My first long fic Black Magic White Lies got a nomination at sog_awards in "best gen" category

Thank you whoever nominated me and big thanks to lovely SoGA mods.

I'm particularly proud of the nomination because, frankly, I was afraid that people would accuse me of characters bashing and ostracize me from the fandom. No, really. Practically all heroes in "Black Magic White Lies" are their own worst enemies. I love characters for their flaws.
The list of nominees in "best gen" category is very strong (as well as fiction in other categories) so I don't think I can win. But it's a great honor to be in this company. Congrats to fellow nominees. You rock, guys.

Yay! The Fang Fetish Awards have been posted and my fic SHE WILL REMEMBER HIM? won a Judge's Choice award. I'm amazed that my little outrageous fic continues to draw attention. I want to thank the anonymous judges, the fanartists kargrif, deedo_2313, and edgehead73, and wonderful raemcn for organizing the event. Congratulations to all winners!

Today is my posting day at seasonal_spuffy community. I wrote a ficlet Tabula Not Rasa - comedy with a touch of crack. It's based on the premise that at the end of Tabula Rasa Xander hasn't stepped on the memory-wiping crystal, so Scoobies had to find another way to restore their memories. They use The Orlon Window that brings back *all* memories, and discover a lot of previously deleted stuff.

If heaven is being together with Spike, then what's your problem, Buffy?

*evil giggle*

Turns out, I'm leaving for Prague this Sunday (a friend just called and told me that our visas are finally ready). I won't be able to post the last chapter Monday, so I post it today.

Today I've got a gift. Incredibly talented sentine made a poster for my fic "She Will Remember Him?", saying that she couldn't resist my Orchid!Dawn. (Click the pic to make it bigger)

Thank you, honey! You know how much I love you fanart. Your posters always rock! I admire your out-of-the-box approach to the art of illustration. I dabble in Photoshop occasionally, but I can never get beyond simple "let's show what they're doing in this or that moment" idea. So, to me, this poster is a great lesson in visual storytelling. Using a fleeting image of my fic to reflect the fractured reality featured in the story is a master-stroke.

To have your poster for my fic is an honor and a pleasure. I post it here, because, to quote Spike, "who am I kidding - I love to brag!"

I'm very flattered. My WIP Black Magic White Lies got a nomination at RWSA in Cookie Dough (WIP) category.

I have to admit that I was afraid to post this story. This is my first attempt at fanfic beyond my comfort zone (funny fluffy Spuffy). I never wrote a Xander-centric story before. I never wrote a story with such complex plot. I knew that Xander fans are very protective of Xander and I regularly asked myself if I go too far, putting him in hard situations. But, so far, people like the story. And they even nominate it!

Thank you whoever nominated me and big thanks to Gege ( fadednegative ) who maintains the award site and keeps the Buffyverse alive!
