Watch Me Do the Arrogant Author Strut

[cornerofmadness]

Well I deserve it. I won NINE, count 'em nine awards from the Spike Threw the Heart Awards which will be open tomorrow for nominations. So THANK YOU to Sara and the judges. I'm jazzed. In no particular order my winning fic's are

Blood Drops on Rose Petals my Dawn/Connor story which I believe has now surpassed Psychedelic Butterfly as my most winning story. It won Master award (for best overall fic), and the Fire (action) award.

blaar_rosir  helped edit this so tell her what a great job she did too.

Thernody, my one true songfic about Buffy writing Giles to tell him about her and Spike (one of my few Spuffy stories for that matter)  won Top Slayer (best Buffy) and runner up for Sing my Heart Out (songfic)

Untamed, my Darla/Angel historical piece won runner up in the Fallen Angel (Angel centric) category

Ceremony of Innocence, my Buffy/Angel crossover (one of my true babies. I loved this thing as dark as it is) won runner up for the Sinister (best dark) awards

Armor, my Cordy post Xander break up won runner up for the Good things come in Small Packages (short fic) award

Salinity, a Fourth of July fic where Connor goes to extreme measures to make sure Gunn & Fred don't find Angel won runner up in the Tis the Season (holiday) category

and last but certainly not least, Dream within a Dream a Post-Chosen/Home crossover fic where Angel has to deal with Dawn's new boyfriend being his bespelled son won runnerup in the Unfinished Symphony (WIP) category

Aren't they lovely? Go tell Sara so.

Haha, smart ass. Just for you I'll write a 500 word short short

50, yep you're nuts. Oh and if you have a non-ficathon wip lying around think about entering it in my new ficathon for finishing those naughty wip's that just won't get done.

:p I dare you to write something in 500 words. ;) (I need reading material, today's Drabble Night but it isn't enough. *pouts*)

50, yep you're nuts.

*nodnodnod* Yes, I am. Yes, I am. *g*

I considered it, but I only have 3 wips. One is Sailor Moon, the other will end in tears and probably bring several death threats to my doorstep and the third is my most loved baby which I'll end when I'm fifty... *sighs* Talk about novel length plots!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Awww what's a little death threat or two? Trust me my latest one is gonna get me those too

[leni-ba.livejournal.com]

Hm, okay, I guess I could promise a chapter or two until that deadline. Besides, that story has a Dawn/Spike potential I didn't consider when I began it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

See, there you go. Sailor Moon would have been okay too only I don't know if we could have found help should you have needed it.

You should hear Sharon whine about my new one

[leni-ba.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but the SM one has a big blank future. I lost the notes I'd written for the next chapters and how it flowed into the final scene and many little details I was supposed to integrate into the parts I'd already written... *sighs* I could never rewrite that. Oh, the help for that comes with the monthly PLZ CONTINUE! review. *g*

But HMWR, that one has an interesting concept. The only problem is that the end smells like tragedy and that I need to read AtS transcripts to get Gunn and Wesley somewhat better.

You DO know that you're making me curious about this WIP of yours, don't you? :-P

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yeah actually the story I volunteered for this had a similar problem. Haven't touched in two years. part of it died with the hard drive. and now I have to reread 125 pages to figure out where the hell I left off and any hand written stuff is a.w.o.l.

Well if you're really curious I could mail you details. It's post AtS finale and it might squickyou out.

[leni-ba.livejournal.com]

Lol. I wish I had 125 pages to read... For HMWR I have a complete page of 'quick notes'. I.e., I can't remember what "D(2) go to theater <-- not like C, the other way. ?. Add roses. Maybe margaritas. ->Giles(1)" meant... Oh well, the joys of deciffering.

Oh, and I am really curious. *G*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yeah now if I only had time to reread 125 pages. Then again that IS better than mere notes.

I'll email you

[leni-ba.livejournal.com]

If I had a scan I'd send the page for you. I'm having fun when I'm not ranting at myself for not being a LITTLE more tidier. I also remembered that one of the 'doodles' at the margin actually meant that the whole scene had to be placed after another scene. When I'm calm I'll track the page for the *other* 'doodle' which indicates where it'd go.

*G*

Time is evil. Saturn is taking revenge for his son betraying him. *nodnodnod*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Doodles? WHy didn't I think of that? Well if I looked in the various boxes and stacks of paper I'd surely find other hand written pages of my story. But at this point I don't even remember where I was going beyond the main points of a) get Giles laid b) kidnap Dawn c) impale Angel because he's not been impale enough.

Sent the evil story to you via email.

Damn it's STILL too hot to sleep...and I'm still feverish nearly a week now.

[leni-ba.livejournal.com]

You know? When you combine a), b) and c) it results in a very interesting story. *smiles innocently* What? I'm just saying...

And the story is SO not evil. In fact, I'd like to see more of it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yes well especially when we consider what Angel's being impaled with. Okay I'll go lie down now.

I will mail it to you. No ewwws from the audience I get enough of that from SJ :-)
