*bounce*Bounce*Bounce*explode*
*cue music*

*huge grin*
"I'd like to thank the Academy for making this possible. And all of you out there who nominated and then voted for this fic, demonstrating that there is a desire and need for realistic, consensual kink. I would like to think this fic has opened doors everywhere, making kink safe for everyone."
*actress lip wobble*
*sniffle*
"And my husband cindy_dutra for supporting me in all my wacky plans.
But most of all this award is for lostiawen, for everything."
*hold up award, tears streaming down face*
"You encouraged me to try out something non-fluffy and different, and to not be afraid of writing kink. This is for you, sweetie!"
*bursts into tears*
"Your support means so much to me."
*sniffling and tears and snot running down my face*
*they cue the go-away music*
"No wait! I want to thank my publicist, and my lawyers, and the producers, and the studio, and work for not noticing that I write smut there, and the caterers, and my hairdresser who always believes color should be fun, and my stylist who seems to have abandoned me for someone thinner and with better taste, and my chef, and my dog, and my next-door neighbor when I was 11 years old, and and and oh yes! AND THE FANS! I couldn't do it without you!"
*they drag me off stage*
*resisting and waving the statuette (picturing Viggo and Orlando wrapped around each other like something from Rodin's "Gates of Hell" - yum!)*
"I LVOE YOU ALL!!!!"

Really, though, "Suffering"'s first draft was really rough, and

lostiawen truly helped me so very much with it, and is wholly responsible for it -having- an ending, since I couldn't think of how to finish it off. Honestly, she wins this one by proxy, and should feel like it's her award as much as it is mine. *smooch*

And sincere thanks to everyone who nominated and voted for "Suffering".

Also, MAJOR congrats to all the other winners, since almost everything I voted for won. :) All of the nominees are all so very talented and I'm honored to be among them.

*hugs* and *squeeing* all around.

So... Where's the after-party? ;)
