The Avon FanLit Fan's Choice Awards

Santa Cleopatra!

I won an award. Don't remember the last time I won something, and I'm not entirely sure I've won anything for writing since I was in high school...

In any case, "Good Godwin!", my AFL submission from round 3, has been awarded "The Comeuppance: Best portrayal of someone getting what they deserved" in the Avon FanLit Fan's Choice Awards.

I must say I'm rather pleased, particularly as it was agony to write. When I submitted it I disliked it intensely, finding flaws in every passage.

Now, with the passage of time, I've come to be slightly less critical of it. Still, might have to get back in there and tweak it a bit...

Please have a look at the other winners -- the stories are fantastic. There were several I missed the first go-round so I have some catching up to do!

Once you've had a gander, by all means head over to Fanlit Forever where many of the winning authors -- and a slew of other equally talented ones -- are continuing to post their work as part of the ongoing challenges set there.

Congratulations to all my fellow winners -- all the more reason to persevere, wouldn't you say?
