Wow, thanks Clay - the banners are gorgeous! *applauds along with draconica_nova*
And thanks everyone for the votes :) I'd be writing this stuff even if no one read it, but it's nice to know that people do. Congrats to all the nominees and winners and keep on writing!
Congratulation to everyone in this amazing comm! Such amazing stories this year, and so many deserved to win it was the hardest voting we’ve ever done. For reading, for writing, for commenting, for voting, and for just all around being a-friggen-mazing. Words fail <3
Wow... Thank you and the other wondermous mods soooo much for putting this whole thing together, we know we’ve gushed already but it’s been a blast! So many good stories, and the awards are more luscious than ever, they are so beautiful, thank you!
Thank you Captanonymus, you don’t take enough credit where it’s due for writing with us and keeping us from murdering someone with a spork. You are talented and a gem and we fuckin’ love you!
oh hush, honestly, the joy for me came from writing with you. You are wonderful and I was honoured :-)
You have no idea how happy I am that "private I vamp" did so well. I told you it was gold! :-) Mon congrats, sweet pea. You deserve to have your name in lights :-)
Technically, it's a manipulation of a photo. I've seen it posted on flicker, as well, as a photo, but there was originally a fan in the middle there that I took out.
Who posted it on Flickr? That kind of irks me, as Flickr is more for representing your own photographs (versus like photobucket, where everyone just uploads anything).
And yes, there was originally a fan in the middle. There were two other shots too, but they weren't as classic / funny as that one.
I don't remember. I was googling the guys in an effort to find more pictures for the awards, and I found this version of the picture up on flikr somewhere. It just amused me because obviously it wasn't the original taker of the picture (didn't know it was you; great shot, btw) nor was it me, who made the manip. I took it as a compliment, though, that apparently people don't notice the manipulated part of it.
Aaaah *nodnod*. And BTW, before anyone gets in a huff at me, I wasn't saying not to use the photo or take it down or anything, merely that I am amused because I see it being used a lot of places (and like you, I don't think anyone realizes I took the pic). I take it as a compliment too though, that everyone really liked the shot. :) And I agree, it's a great manip. If you didn't know there wasn't originally a fan in the middle, you prob. never could have guessed.
*snort* Yeah, it wasn't. Tucson, Arizona. One of the most memorable shows I've been to, too. Was a really fun night; the guys were all in really great moods that night.
Thank you Clay for all your hard work! The banners are made of win and I love them. Trough the awards, I managed to catch up with some of the fabulous writing I completely missed after having gone awol from the com, so thank you! And thank you to all the people who voted for "Between the devil and the deep blue sea", PD is quite wrong in her comment though :-) I would take credit if it were mine to take but she is just fantastically talented and Glyph, wow....I owe you for all your hard work too. I don't know if you ever really got a mention but you deserve a medal for not trying to bleach your eyes after having seen some of the stuff I gave you....:-) mea culpa!
Clay, there's a small error in the banner for best Group/friendship fic! I didn't write 'My Salad Days'! Hey, I won something! WAHOO! Congratlations to x_carnivale_X especially cuz in the beginning we were really neck to neck for Best New Author! Absolutely beautiful banners!
I have no idea if this is a place a semi-newbie should post for the first time, but I was excited to see the winners and all of the beautiful banners here. *inhale* I have lurked in this community for sometime now. I recently re-found it and decided to speak up and introduce myself so I can comment on all of the stories I love. In addition to seeing some of my favorites get awards, there are several up there that I cannot find. Is there a link or an archive I can search in?
This post may be moved to the appropriate place if needed. I do not mind. I will try to be more interactive in this com in the future. Awaiting updates of several fics right now. =) My LJ page is completely bare, but if anyone wants to know more about me, let me know where I can post/interact. Thank you! Molly
Hello there. ^_^ You can feel free to make an intro post (as opposed to commenting on an already existing post) if you like. More people would see it that way.
If you're looking to find any of the above stories, they're all on this list: http://claydevil.net/temp/2009storylist.html And there are links to the stories as well. But if you go to the community's main page (not the profile, but the actual journal) there's a whole list of authors and pairings and whatnot along the lefthand side that you can use to navigate as well.
Wow!!! I got 2 awards!! Thank you so much guys! This really is an honour! And well done to all the other wonners. All well deserved. Here's to 2010 being another great year for fiction! =D xxxx
