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!

The "new" authors are rocking so hard. I don't know how new some of them are because I haven't even been in fandom a year yet, but people like you and danceswithgary and supercaptain182, and more people have sucked me in. It's good that SV is still turning out good writers (especially Clex writers, seeing as how it is non-existent in canon nowadays) because the fandom itself is what makes watching shows exciting. Makes us feel like part of the process and the fans are what keep fandoms alive. Even "dead" fandoms like Buffy, Angel, etc. are still churning out fics, and the great thing about SV is that even when the show ends, the fandom won't because there are still the memories of the show as well as the comics that won't end to draw from...hence my Future!Clex icon

I think it has the potential to keep on going long after the show-hell, most of us are firmly AU anyway. It's just such a great timeless story, the mythology lends itself to any setting, and the boys are so beautiful that who could not want to write about them? *G*
