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!

honestly, if i see the numbers of *new* authors, and old ones, I think, the awards turned out fairly awesome :)

sure, there are people like seperis, Pru, and a few long left authors, that I rec regularly (or irregularly, because I guess, I am one of the 5% of readers, who havenet been enchanted by Pru's Kon-el series, which i cannot even remember the name..), but then, it wasnt me, who nominated them. trust me, I nominated a hell lot *new* folks *g* .......for example, like you *g*.

otherwise, when i look through the list, i just see *new* folks.

also, i think, you are just underestimating yourself. as someone, who has recced your fics as often as the classics, i feel hurt by you saying, your level of writing is not up to par with any of those "long out of fandom" writers. you are insulting my taste as a reader. even if i know, you dont mean it, it still hurts.

Oh geez--I don't want to insult your taste...of course, I never thought of it like that...besides, I don't think I stink, it's just I know where I lack. I read tons and tons of stuff, used to read so many(genre) books I couldn't begin to estimate how many--and I know that I'm much better (yes true) than some writers who get paid for it, and much much worse than a lot. It's life. I also think that if I wanted to, and studied, and really worked hard, I could write on a professional level. I think I have talent. It's just not polished. mind you, I would never just throw something on the page for my friends. I do the very best I can--but I don't push myself past the limit very often. I tend to stay in a comfort zone, and that's what keeps this a hobby to me.

als, it makes me happy as an insanely happy person to see you here! *HUGHUGHUG*
