In which I get Nominated for an Award!

[dolorous_ett]

OMG Sherlock Holmes and the Ravenclaw Codex has been nominated for a Quibbler Award!

I know I'm not going to win, because I have very few readers, keep my head down and don't ship - but all the same... I've never been up for an award, and it's really exciting. I came over quite Gwynneth Paltrow for a few moments back there.

In the meantime, in case you think fame is going to my head, here's a link about a brave householder who thwarted a burglar, dressed as the Norse god Thor.

Congratulations! Very well deserved.

*blushes and simpers* Thank you very much!

That's fantastic. How do we make you win? Can we vote?

I saw the Thor story - brilliant (esp. the bit about him making the armour out of tinfoil).

[dolorous-ett.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Anyone can vote - though apparently voting doesn't open until the 10th. I can - hem hem - mention this fact on my journal again when voting's actually open, if you like. And if it's cricket to go around canvassing votes - I'm not sure what the rules are.

I love the idea of tinfoil armour too - can you imagine how much time that took?

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

This is fandom. I'm sure a moderate canvassing of votes is quite acceptable.

In case you have not seen it: cute snowy owl story.

That is a lovely owl - thank you very much! (and I hadn't seen it)

How fantastic! And completely well deserved -- that's a story I'm constantly recommending to people. :)

Yay! A very well deserved nomination - it's a great story.

[dolorous-ett.livejournal.com]

Thank you - I'm glad you like the story. It's the fic I'm most proud of, so I'm well chuffed.

Why shouldn't you win? You'd deserve it.

[dolorous-ett.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I'd love to win, but a lot of the nominations are much higher profile, and more readers naturally means that more people will think it's their favourite... I'm proud enough to just have been nominated.

CONGRATS!! I'm voting for you :D
