I imported my journal and set up cross-posting, but "memories" from lj did not import to dreamwidth. Is there a way of doing this>

I was so happy when I cast my vote his morning for the first woman President of the United Staes.

Now, I am overwhelmed with anxiety.

Any positive words would be appreciated.

Note: A few weeks ago, I wrote a ficlet for the prompt "Silver Lining" at slashthedrabble. Only when I went to post it, I realized the prompt was not, in fact, "Silver Lining" -- I had mistaken the title of someone's posted drabble for the prompt. Anyway, here it is. 300 words.

I posted a ficlet at slashthedrabble. It's here.

Edited to add: and it won this!

Fatal crane collapse directly in front of my office this morning. We have been evacuated. Everyone I know is (luckily) fine.

Nice article, here.

I just learned that Remembered, If Outlived was nominated at the Wicked Awards (in the categories Guise Will Be Guise and Showtime). This particular story being nominated makes me especially happy. I wrote it in the early days of my Spander love affair, and I was just consumed by Spander. I had never written any fiction before, but I was simply overwhelmed by the compulsion to write this story, and it was probably the most exciting and satisfying writing experience I've ever had. I don't know if it's my best story -- when I look at it now, I see lots of things I'd love to tweak -- but it's definitely the closest to my heart. So a huge thank you to the lovely person who nominated me, and to the mods of course!

I'm traveling, and Internet connections have been spotty, so I just saw that the Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Award winners were announced. My ficlet Adjustments won Best Romance, and was voted runner-up in the categories of Best Slash, Best Fluff, Best Unconventional Pairing, and Best Quickie Fic. Also, my story Upon A Stick was voted runner-up for Best Male Characterization (Spike). Thanks to all nominators and voters -- I couldn't be more pleased!

Additional thanks to dragonydreams for running the show, and a special shout-out to sparrow2000, who won for Red Frame, White Light, which you should read right now if you haven't already.

Really happy that a couple of my stories were nominated at The Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards. Upon A Stick was nominated in the category of Best Characterization, Male (Spike), and Adjustments was nominated as Best Fluff, Best Pairing, Unconventional, Best Quickie Fic, Best Romance, and Best Slash.

Thanks to the person who was kind enough to nominate these stories, and congratulations to all the nominees!
