Thanks for many things

[geoviki]

I want to thank the folks who nominated my stories for various things going on at the moment. It's so flattering to be nominated - the rest is gravy as far as I'm concerned. Delicate Sound of Thunder was nominated for hposcars (which I keep reading as "HPO Scars") for "Best Conventional Slash Pairing" and also "Best FanFiction of 2005". There are lots of categories in this one, and it's fun to see the variety. I'm still pondering my choices to add by Sunday's deadline. Also, for another round of The Multifaceted Awards, A Thousand Beautiful Things was nominated for Best Original Character - I'm guessing for Sully?

Since the HP Oscars are limited to fics of 2005, it made me curious about what I'd written last year. Not a very lengthy list, I'm afraid:

Delicate Sound of Thunder - the surprise sequel to A Thousand Beautiful Things. At least, it was a surprise to me that I even wrote one. This puppy took up nearly all my writing time from September 2004 until May 2005.

Never Mind the Bollocks, It's Draco/Harry (Shake Your Groove Thing). Which is possibly the strangest imaginable follow-up to DSOT, which I'd just finished before writing this insanity.

The Law of Falling and Catching Up. I scrambled to finish this for the deadline of the first wave of the_eros_affair.

Practicing the Same Religion. Geoviki does mpreg! For merry_smutmas and coffeejunkii.

Okay, so I managed to come up with all H/D this year. And I think I've demonstrated that I'm not particularly prolific. It's this damn day job.

Totally unrelated - I took your advice, dear friends, and ordered a mojito on Sat. night. I loved it! But could someone tell me how to surreptitiously get the bits of mint leaves out of one's teeth while drinking it?

i'm terrible about leaving feedback, but i'd forgotten entirely about the law of falling and catching up, and i loved it when i read it the first time and loved it again just now when i read it again. it's wonderfully wistful and melancholy and you make draco's need to immerse himself in a dream world so plausible. and still, at the end, you give us hope for a more "real" happy ending. just lovely.

Thanks. I appreciate any feedback at any time! I just knew the minute I read that charm (which JKR tossed out without much thought) that it would be addictive as hell. And who has the most to gain from losing himself in another world than Draco?

Couldn't resist the happy ending, though. The alternate ending, which I also know, is much darker. But it'll never see the light of day.
