obnoxious happiness

(hint: this is a bit tongue-in-cheek)

*bounce*Bounce*Bounce*explode*
*cue music*
*trip on floor length dress walking up the steps to the stage*
*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? ;)

*hugs and snuggles* Well deserved. An after party is a wonderful idea...where and when? I'll bring champagne and lube for the orgy pit...and probably my laptop.

Speaking of parties...did you get to the convention?

Whoo! Champagne, lube, and laptops all around! The prefect slashy writers' party!

And I guess not, since I don't know what convention you're talking about. :) Unless you mean the big pagan thingy (http://www.livejournal.com/users/salixbabylon/104467.html) a few weeks ago...?

I've got about 10 of us set for a slash writers retreat outside of Atlanta this summer - wanna come?

I did mean the big pagan thingy...I must have missed the post while I was sick. *skips off to read*

Looks like July. I have a friend who owns a retreat center in the N. GA mountains just outside of Atlanta where I hold a lot of my retreats. He is giving me a discounted rate and I'm being really flexible as to when.

I promise we will keep you really safe. You might lose some sleep...

I'm actually interested. :) This is noteworthy because I rarely travel anywhere more than a 3 hours drive from my house. Keep me on the list of people to let know what's going on, please!
