I'm beyond thrilled. My fanfic She Will Remember Him has been nominated for Round 6 at Spark and Burn Awards

I have to confess that initially I was scared to post it, afraid that people may accuse me of Buffy-bashing, Spike-bashing, Dawn-bashing, etc. I wanted to look at the season 2 with a nostalgic smile and to examine it through the eyes of two snotty kids (Dawn and Andrew), two eccentric vampires (Spike and Dru) and, of course, Buffy herself. I'm happy that people understand my intentions.

Thank you whoever nominated me and big thanks to Amy who maintains the award site!

Wow! My fanfic She Will Remember Him is chosen for the Reader's Choice poll at the Rogue Poet Awards!

I want to thank Kat & Debs, Rogue Poet admins, for selecting my story. It's a honor. Thank you, guys!

It's overwhelming. Besides a very warm reception of the first chapter of my current BtVS story, Black Magic White Lies, today I've got an email with a notification that my previous story, She Will Remember Him? has been nominated in Round 17 at Spuffy Awards as Best Short Story and Best Fluffy Spuffy.

Thank you whoever nominated me!

I tried to figure out why I suddenly started getting nominations and awards, and I think I should blame my beta deird1 for the success of She Will Remember Him? She did wonderful job on this fic and right now she helps me with Black Magic White Lies, making the process of polishing the story an entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable experience. And, in case of BMWL, I'm also incredibly grateful to lusciousxander, who provides me with great insights into characters' inner lives. You rock, guys!

( Her photo leaps out at him from the computer screen like a slap in his face - stubborn mouth, challenging eyes, tousled hair. Xander reluctantly tears his eyes off her mug shot and feverishly scans the words onscreen. )

I can't believe it! My fic She Will Remember Him? won the Best Conventional Pairing prize and is a Runner-Up for Best Episode Re-Write prize at round 17 of Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards!

I'm shocked. I never thought I could win anything, writing in foreign tongue, floundering about in English language, testing the patience of my kindest beta deird1, torturing poor characters with my naughty ideas and my bad grammar.

I'm incredibly grateful to people who voted for my fic. Congratulations to other winners - you rock, guys! And big thanks to LaDy SiN and Elisabeth who maintain the Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards site.

Yay! My fanfic She Will Remember Him, written for current Spuffy Season, was nominated for Round 9 of the Rogue Poet Awards in the Best Lighthearted fic category!

Thanks to the person who nominated me!

I looked around at RPA site - there are awesome nominees I have already read and there are names new to me. Looks like I will have a lot of interesting read in the future!

( So, vampires are regret personified? )

I'm thrilled.

Somebody nominated my new fic She Will Remember Him? at The Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards for Best Author, Best Characterization (Dawn), Best Comedy, Best Episode Re-Write, Best Fluff and Best Conventional Pairing (Buffy/Spike).

Thank you to whoever nominated me!

Writing Dawn in season 2 was the perfect chance to channel my inner 12-years-old, but, frankly, I was squirming, afraid that people would throw rotten tomatos at me for making Dawn too bratty. Writing comedy is hard. I'm glad people weren't offended and enjoyed the story.

Today is my posting day on seasonal_spuffy ficathon. My contribution is the story She Will Remember Him? It's pure comedy, based on the premise that in summer of 2000 monks had rewritten everybody's memories and now all characters remember the events of season 2 differently.

There are countless hells and every one of them has its own Spike.

*evil cackle*
