"Good Night. Good Luck. Win Awards." a.k.a. A Brief CA & FOF Update

[rj_anderson]

The 2004 Alias Festival of Fic results are in, and wow! I'm astonished and thrilled. What You Never Knew You Wanted won awards for Outstanding Weiss Characterization (1st Place), Outstanding Syd/Weiss Romance (also 1st), and Outstanding Long Story (3rd)! I really did not expect this at all! Thanks so much to everyone who voted for me. And congratulations to all the other winners!

As for last weekend's trip to Convention Alley, I will soon have more -- lots more -- to report. Stay tuned to learn about the Worst Traffic Jam Ever, hear some shiny new HP theories and find out how my Snape presentation went. Also, find out why the new hot LJ interest is stalking* Steve Vander Ark (though if you were at CA, you'll know the answer to that already).
--
* By which I mean "stalking" in the nicest, purely virtual (and most legal) kind of way. Naturally. And I haven't actually got around to doing any of it yet. So it's more a sort of vague, theoretical stalking. But you get the idea.

Congratulations on all those awards! (I don't know Alias fandom at all, but oh well).

Re Convention Alley, it was a hoot to meet you finally after having read your Snape stories and wibbled occasionally at you in LJ!

Speaking of Snape stories, that Holmesian Snape I mentioned is here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sinick/6490.html)

Oooh, Holmesian Snape! *bounces* I will definitely look at it as soon as time permits.

It was neat to meet you, too! I'm so glad you wore your LJ icon as a pin and wrote your LJ name on your namecard, because I know I met tons of people last weekend that I ought to have recognized but didn't know were at CA until it was too late...

That Pettigrew costume was amazing BTW. Especially the hand.

*nodnods* I know that practically none of my fandom friends knows me by sight - that's the inevitable side-effect of net.fandom. I was certain if I didn't go by my LJ handle nobody would've known me at all, and damned if I was going to let that happen.

And I figured it'd be well worth making myself an LJ icon badge, just to make sure I'd pinged everyone with visual as well as verbal memories. :)
