80's retro weekend & awards

[cornerofmadness]

I just love 80's retro weekends. I don't want to live in the past musically all the time but little escapisms are nice. Now it just needs to STOP raining so I can spray paint the bar codes off boxes so I can start packing!!

And I won some awards The Potential Awards, which is a nice award site since it's open to all characters and ships (which I know a few of us were bemoaning all the ship specific ones and a lack of good general award sites) and there's been changes to the site. This is straight  from Ragna's LJ <i> The Potential Awards has opened up a new category for non Buffyverse fics. Right now, there are six categories in which I will accept fic: Veronica Mars, Harry Potter, CSI/CSI: Miami, Law & Order (all shows), Anime (any anime) and Other (which is a bunch of shows I didn't feel like giving their own subcategory). It doesn't matter the size but they can't be slash </i>

I won a couple RU's and a couple first places. A Boy and his Dog, a drabble set about Connor in Quor-Toth and his pet demon, won  in the drabble category.

Finding Faith, a story of Faith's time at the Cleveland Hellmouth when Spike, Angel and Connor come to visit (I'm working on a sequel) won in the action category.  

 

Silent Night, a Spike/Dawn romance set at Christmas back in my old stomping grounds, won in the holiday category  

And last but not least, Mother of Sorrows, a Dru centric piece written for the kill baby Connor challenge (Yes, there was a time I hated Connor, go imagine that)  

Aren't they pretty?

Congratulations.

Oh, and I hated baby Connor too. And I REALLY wanted to hate adult Connor too. It wasn't until he pointed that weapon at Angel and sneered "Hi Dad" that I was won over (yes, it took me that long-- a whole two seconds). And I've grown to appreciate baby Connor, now that I know what he becomes.

It's funny. Watching Angel turn into a moron with the baby made me quit watching the show. A friend saw adult Connor, knew I'd love him and she wasn't wrong

Well, I watched "Dad" and was like... "What the hell happened to Angel?". I then stopped watching for a couple of eps, then I heard Connor was taken to a hell dimension and he would be coming back as a teenager. I was like, "What the HELL?" And then I saw a picture of Vincent Kartheiser (I think it was from "Alaska") and said, "Oh GOD. Angel's getting it's own Dawn!". But for some reason, I turned in for "The Price", not knowing Connor was going to be in the end.

Then when I saw it, I jumped to my feet. And then when Connor raised that weapon and said, "Hi Dad", I sat back down and said. "I withdraw my complaints.". The rest is obsessive history (though I didn't actually start to think Connor was one sexy little twerp until the fourth season when he grew his hair out. Man, he looked GOOD)

I kinda liked him with the shorter hair and hey leather.

The look has grown on me since. I was a bit slow on the uptake. When I watched "Deep Down", I was like, "Holy fuck! Why didn't I notice Connor was so hot?"

Then when I went back and watched ANW, Benediction and Tomorrow, I was kind of shaking my head going, "Dammit. I must be blind!"

And yes... Leather. Leather is... Well, leather.

It took a while for his looks to grow on me too even though I like skinny guys with big noses (which I never noticed until my roommate pointed it out and it's like DAMN)
