Loves Bitch Awards

[curiouswombat]

A long time ago - well more than eighteen years ago, I remember finding out I was pregnant. The husband was really happy about it (well if not he gave a good impression!), but I was a bit apprehensive about telling my sister, and I was relieved when my mother offered to let her know for me. Why? Because although younger than me, she had been married for over five years, and trying for a baby for two or three of them, whereas we'd been married just over a year, and this pregnancy was unplanned, we had meant to wait until we'd finalised the sale of my old flat, sold the one we were living in and bought somewhere more suitable for a baby, but D-d didn't want to wait and lo and behold, here I was pregnant.

My Mother must have rung my sister quickly, because sister rang me within a few minutes, really happy to hear the news - and full of her own news, because she had only told Mum an hour or less before that she was pregnant herself! Suddenly I could be really excited, because my sister wouldn't feel that I had somehow beaten her to something without even trying!

Why has this come to my mind tonight? Because I won a pretty for Ten Years After!!

And can you imagine how awful I would have felt, if S2C hadn't just won at the RDAs? If I had won for my one story, without really trying, when he had been writing for so long? Although it was even more like sister and I - S2C also won at the Loves Bitch Awards -so I can Snoopy Dance, and go Squeeeeee as much as I like! And I am truly chuffed. Stunned as well, to have won something, and must say a big thank you to whoever nominated me, and to the Awards organisers. To look at my pretties (Yay MY pretties!!)









And congrats to bogwitch who got THREE pretties!! And to sockmonkeyhere who got a pretty for Canis Familiar, and myfeetshowit who I noticed there under her other name, and to all the other winners - go check out at

Well done!

I feel somewhat... odd about mine.

Very pretty indeed - and giving a fine view of Spike's cheekbones.

Congratulations!

Congratulations - even though I haven't read the whole thing, the bits I have sneaked a peek at were really good. I know it's not a squicky Spawn, so I just have to let go of my Spuffy prejudice for a while and let myself read. From all the comments to the story (and now the awards) I know it will be worth my while.

So happy for both of you!!!

Woo! First chance to use my new icon! No idea why this post wasn't showing up on my friends page last night or this morning until I hit refresh otherwise I'd have commented sooner.

Congratulations, sweetie!

I'm not a big fan-fic-er, so that may be why, but I have a question...

What is/was the deal with Buffy and the Immortal? Who is/was The Immortal? Is that cannon and I'm just dumb and forgot? Can someone give me a summery and/or point me to the original cannon/fanfic?

thanks.

Congratulations! Sometimes I wonder about the award sites when I see who won and who didn't, but this time they got the awards JUST right.

Thank you for my congratulations as well. It was nice to come home to - this was actually a nomination left over from the last round because there hadn't been enough noms before. I'd almost (almost) forgotten about it!

Congratulations - you certainly deserve an award - it's a great story.
