"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.

You're very welcome, Sheryll -- it all turned out fine in the end, and I think the added element of nervousness probably made my presentation a bit better than it might otherwise have been. :)

I know that the individual presentations weren't taped, but was Steve's speech from the banquet recorded, by any chance? If not, you might want to keep that in mind if you have him another time -- I bet those tapes would sell like hotcakes. :)

Also, I see that webbapettigrew has posted her CA essay on the web -- would I be free to post mine now, as well? Or would that cause problems for you and Phyllis in some way? In any case, I won't do anything until I hear from you...

I wish we had thought to record Steve's speech. Aside from the fact that they would sell like hotcakes, we could have sent a copy to everyone who had attended.

I'd say go ahead and post yours as well. I know there are a lot of people wanting to read it. I don't think it will cause any problems. :)

Yay! Thank you!
