I won. Go figure

To quote the official e-mail:

Emissary of the Mark received Second Place in Genres: Adventure: Incomplete

The Young Knights received First Place in Races: Men: Gondor

That was... unexpected. So I'd like to thank Raksha the Demon, phyloxena, StefaniaB, makamu, Bodkin, crowdaughter (my dear mad scientist), agape4gondor, obsidianj, Denise, Dreamflower and Elena Tiriel who voted for my stores and gifted wonderful reviews upon me. :)

I'm really more than a little surprised.

Congratulations!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thanks. What about you? I saw very appreciative reviews concerning your stuff, too.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

All my stories did well, with first places for Journey's End and The Turn of the Tide.

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

And many congratulations to you too!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Congrats. But I knew you'd do well. :)

[crowdaughter.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! *festivities* And to think that I at first felt bad my review was not longer... :)

Ich freue mich sehr fuer Dich!

Danke! Es hat mir sehr viel bedeutet daß Du Dir die Zeit genommen hast um überhaupt ein Review zu schreiben. :))

So viele Leute sind einfach zu faul dazu.

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

The MEFAs? Ooh, pretty shiny things. Congratulations!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thanks.:)

[makamu]

Well done *claps*

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Nun ja, Du hast doch dabei geholfen, nicht wahr? ;))

[makamu]

Aber nur ein ganz kleines bisschen :)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Aber immerhin! Ich glaube ich werde nächstes Jahr versuchen jemanden zu überreden "The Prisoner of Dol Guldur" zu nominieren. Das ist eins meiner besten Geschichten, die schrieb sich fast alleine... sie könnte eine Chance haben.

[makamu]

*Notiz kritzel* Wird erledigt! :)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

*gegrinsel*
Ich werde Dich daran erinnern...

Es ist eine gute Sache daß man auch ältere Geschichten nominieren kann, nicht so wie bei den Mithrils. Manche alten Dinger von mir sind nicht schlecht, und so kann ich vielleicht neue Leute dazu bringen, sie zu lesen.

Congratulations! *satisfied dance*

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your help. :)

Nice icon, by the way.

WISEHEART SCORES BIG AT MEFA

Köszönöm, tesókám!

(translation: thanks, sib!)

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

Oh, congratulations! Well done!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I really didn't expect that, given the competition and the number of really Big Name Authors who were nominated.

[mistry89.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

I was surprised, honestly. "The Younk Knights" was moderately successful when first posted, but considering how many much more popular authors were nominated, I never thought I'd have a snowball's chance in Hell.

[edge-of-ruin.livejournal.com]

Well done you!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I really didn't expect it, considering how many wildly popular authors were nominated and knowing how very few people are actually interested in my stuff. But at least those proved very faithful, eh? ;)

[ithilwen.livejournal.com]

Surprised? You shouldn't be!

Oh, and congratulations!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)
Yeah, surprised, considering how little interest my stuff usually draws.

[jen-rock.livejournal.com]

Congrats! See, sometimes it is worthwhile to write fanfic:)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thank you.:)

Sometimes it is, indeed. But to be perfectly honest, I don't write to win the occasional award (not that it wouldn't be a great thing, because it is). I write for people to read and enjoy... and, admittedly, to get some feedback on why they did enjoy..

But, I guess, you can't have everything, right?
