Huh

Three of my Buffy the Vampire Slayer fics from 2001 - Safe Sex, the Hungry series, and Beloved - have been nominated for Round 25 of the Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards.

Better late than never, I guess.

Genius sometimes takes years to be recognised :)

Ten years later?

Wow.

That's very odd, and ... pretty cool.

LOL. I guess I should be glad that at least I'm still alive to witness this belated appreciation!

Yeah, I have no idea why they picked this round to nominate a batch of my fics. I don't recognize any of the other authors, so it's probably not because they're doing a 10 year anniversary retrospective or something...

The stories are still remembered ten years later? They're classics! Congratulations!

Thanks! Although I sure would like to know who nominated me.

How strange and how wonderful to be nominated ten years later. Congratulations!

Congradulations! (Ten years later...That's pretty awesome!)

Thanks! Definitely strange and some kind of wonderful.

Thanks! I have no idea why they're being nominated now...

LOL, better late than never is right. Good for you!

Thanks! I'll take what I can get. ;)

Congratulations!! And how wonderfully bizarre. But as someone above said, sometimes it takes time for true genius to be recognized.

LOL, I can guarantee with complete confidence that "Safe Sex" was not a product of genius. But I admit that I have a soft spot for the "Hungry" series, which for a while I thought I'd never manage to finish (two years, baby).

That's just all sorts of awesome - they're almost classics by this stage! Congrats:)

Hee - I'm not old, I'm *classic*.

Like a good wine or something, I'd say. Definitely positive. I'd be more than flattered if someone still remembered my stuff after ten years.

*smile* That would be flattering, but I doubt that they really remembered my stuff after ten years. I think it's more likely that they found it when I reposted it to Archive of Our Own this past year. I could be wrong, though, since I don't actually know who nominated me...
