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!

Writing in this fandom has always been pretty intimidating for me just because there has always been such amazing writers in it. I've always been over in my little corner of the web just writing my stories, mostly for myself.

It still shocks the heck out of me that any one else likes or reads them. I'm still afraid, in my heart of hearts, that they just aren't good enough. I know that's my own insecurities talking but, what can you do?

That's how I feel! I always think of the folks who read my stuff as our little club, sitting around eating s'mores and telling stories. Okay, so, mostly I'm the gross-out member of the group, (there's always one...)

I love your stories, they're so full of heart, they reach right into me and yes, your insecurities are showing, they're always wonderful, just like your art!
