SV Awards

[roxy]

So, I went over to vote in the SV awards, and I didn't vote for myself because...I don't know. So I voted for my fav authors and artists and boy, it was really hard. There are so many people whose work I *love*. I have to say that I think it's fair that more new people were chosen. It's tough competing against folks who aren't in the fandom, and haven't
been for a while. True, they wrote incredible amazing stories, and they're hard to top, but I wonder what winning an award would mean to them?

Sometimes, I get annoyed with endless reccing of long out of fandom writers, but I guess if I'm completely honest, (and i try) it's more jealousy on my part, of a level of writing I know I'll never achieve in this lifetime. Or several of them. Okay, yes, whining but ya'll know it's my second biggest hobby. Anyhoo, go vote! Let your favorite writer know that you appreciate the work that goes into entertaining you!

I've been trying to ignore the awards. I think they were gone about the wrong way, and really -- how the hell am I supposed to win against the person I'm up against? I agree. I think stories written in at *most* the last three years should have been the only ones allowed. It's just going to upset the active authors when the old ones win. *sniffle*

Well, definitely the awards came from a desire to show respect and love to everybody, so I'm cool with the intention--but SV is a hard fandom to put in one category.

The active authors are going to be upset--it would have been cool to create a separate category--like 'Classic Story' or something along that line. I am kind of thrilled to even be nominated, couldn't have imagined that in 2004! It's nice to see that people know I wrote something else besides Firebird. ;) But you know what? I was really hurt not to be nominated in the humor category, LOL! See what these things do to you? They make you crazy!
