Wow...

I am totally blown away...

A little while ago, there was a fic contest over on What Makes the Desert Beautiful, a Nick/Greg CSI archive I have been posting to. I was nominated for several stories, and I recently found out that I actually got some awards!

*faints*

I'm fairly new to that fandom, so being nominated alone was a real honor. To actually win something... I don't even know what to say. I'm still trying to blink. ^_^

...

I received Runner-Up for:

Best Nick Characterization for Sea of Vegas



...

Best Casefile for Twenty-One Breaths



...

Best New Author
(I couldn't grab the banner for this one. [livejournal.com profile] shacky20, do you have any tips? *loves*)

...

And I won (O.o):

Best Angst for Sea of Vegas



...


Thank you so much to [livejournal.com profile] shacky20 for organizing the contest, and congratulations to everyone who won! *cheers*

Oh Ruro, you silly, how could they not award your brilliance??? I've never seen anyone write with the passion and emotion that you do. Something I wish I could emulate, my dear.

You so thoroughly deserve every single one of those awards, well done!!!

And you have just got to be the nicest person ever, love. Honest, your comments always leave me with this huge grin... *can't get rid of it* Thank you so much. ♥

I don't know why you're so surprised, you're a wonderful writer. :) Congratulations!!!

*blush* Thank you...

I love your smiley icon there. Can't help but grin back at her! *laughs*

Hey, congrats! Much deserved, IMHO. :)

And YOU know how much I love you... *adores*

Also -- I feel like a horrid human being for not yet having responded to your email. [livejournal.com profile] merry_smutmas has been eating up a lot of my on-line time (as well as some writing *g*). But just so you know, another writer and I are working on a longish (hopefully) Nick/Greg fic -- and per your request, it will be plotty (case file, whoot!) with one of the boys in danger. And we'll just leave it at that for now -- but I will give you a heads up when we've started or finished or posted. Heh. :)

OMG! FIIIIIIC! *crows* Oh, that sounds wonderful. You know I'm always up for more good fic. ^__^ I can't wait to read it!

And no prob about the email. I've been busy as well.

Very, very hearty congrats to you, m'dear! You're such a naughty bit, you've got me sniffing out Nick/Greg slash! Unfortunately, most of what I find doesn't appeal to me nearly as well as your lovely prose. So I shall sit by, waiting for any scrap you toss my way. :)

[identity profile] rurounihime.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
*cackles* I love to spread the good word. *dangles hawt N/G slash in front of you* Got a Christmas fic coming up...

You are very sweet, love. *hugs* Thank you.

Thank you so much! I've actually read some of geekwriter143's stuff and I'll check out the rest!!! XD

[identity profile] rurounihime.livejournal.com 2007-01-01 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, geekwriter's fic rocks. ^_^ I'm glad you found her!

[identity profile] shacky20.livejournal.com 2006-12-29 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Hi, don't mind me, I'm [livejournal.com profile] shacky20 the owner of What Makes the Desert Beautiful, I know how hard it can be to find "Great" fic when you're used to the best, so I hope I'm not overstepping, but here are some great authors, first off, [livejournal.com profile] geekwriter143 has written some of if not the best Nick/Greg fic out there, and you can find her fic Here, but the all time classic ever is One Good Man, it's like our Nick/Greg Bible, and also the person who orginally founded [livejournal.com profile] carolinecrane, she gave up the site in Fall of 04 and I took it over with the help of my WebGod, [livejournal.com profile] 0creativity, and you can find her stories CC's Fic, hope you find something you enjoy!!!!

Whoops, the link doesn't work, here's the correct one What Makes the Desert Beautiful, and if your into video's at all, we have about 75 there now, that's my thing, I don't write as well as these gifted writers, to I try to do other things...

[identity profile] rurounihime.livejournal.com 2006-12-31 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
...and btw, I heartily recommend the site Shacky linked to below. Good stuff all around. ^_^

Hey wow, good job!! Your writing is fantastic--I'm happy the CSIers get to see it too! ♥

[identity profile] rurounihime.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, babes, how goes it? *looking forward to more of that mahhhhvelous fic you are co-writing right now...*

Thank you, love. ^___^ ♥

[identity profile] dracofiend.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
:D Oh, things are good and busy! Managed to read a few of the fest fics this weekend though! Ah, yeah--the rentboy fic! I've got to get to that!! Maybe I'll try for something lighter first, to switch it up...been doing mostly angsty type stuff lately...

You have any fun plans or time off for the holiday? :)

[identity profile] rurounihime.livejournal.com 2006-12-19 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Take your time. I have three fics I am trying to get ready for Christmas, so I won't have time to do much else. Whenever you feel like writing the rentboy, go for it. ^_^

We are spending the holiday at home, which, frankly, is a relief. All of our family lives in other states (except for my great aunt and and uncle), so visiting them can be hectic. You?

[identity profile] dracofiend.livejournal.com 2006-12-21 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, all of our family lives in other states too--so that's where we'll be going. :) We're leaving on Friday, and you know, I'm kinda tired of this 'working at a job' thing, so it'll be nice. :D

I'm actually working on the rentboy fic right now--managed to write a little during downtime today and yesterday! *is excited*

[identity profile] rurounihime.livejournal.com 2006-12-22 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, working on it already? *cheers* Have fun. I look forward to reading what you have.

Happy holidays!

Ooh, is that a picture from where you is right now???

Hey, you should be a photographer, dear. Honest, those shots are very picturesque. I especially love the angle on the first, and the darkness with the candles on the second. Something so... poignant about it.

[identity profile] piratesmile331.livejournal.com 2006-12-18 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
You deserve every award you get, and more. You are a fantastic writer. I'm so happy for you! Those CSI'ers have probably never read such well-written fics!

[identity profile] rurounihime.livejournal.com 2006-12-19 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, there are a lot of talented writers in that fandom. I have been so enamored of HP that I forgot that other fandoms are just as complex and convoluted... It's so nice to see another community like ours...

Girl, why didn't you email me, I've been such a bad friend lately. Before Christmas I was so busy baking for two weekends, then my husband sent me to the fucking mall of all places, on the Thursday and Friday before Christmas, silly silly man, this is why I shop on-line. Had to get his BIL, Dad, and Mom their gifts, (QVC, Amazom, Best Buy, ebay, Toyrus), anything. Then I finally got that damned video done, anyway, Christmas Eve night after we got back from my parents, we were supposed to go to Birmingham Christmas Day to spend it with my In-laws, since they moved closer our first time, still wasn't looking forward to it, that's a whole other story. So, Jacob's eyes are leaking yellow pussy crap, great, pink eye was going around the school the three days he made it before Christmas, so we didn't have to go. But there are the cutest pics of him Here also the vid in question I worked for a month on, and anyway. Yesterday I take him in even though his eyes look better, but double ear infection, bad, pussing out, that bad, and clogging his sinuses, and get this, coming out his eyes, yuck. That was his 13th ear infection, and WIlliam went to grandma's yesterday for two nights, also my dad's birthday, and Tre's also sick, and my mom calls me today, WIlliam's eyes are red, so go to the doc, again just like the old days when Jacob was a toddler, but just a red throat, but amoxilcil anyway. PHEW! OK, done spewing my life story as of late, and I so love your latest story, you have no idea. So, here's your banner sweetie,
