Hey,

Well the IYFG results are in. Journey was in three categories, Best Action/Adventure, Best Characterization (Sesshomaru), and Best Serial. It only placed in one, but it missed the other two by one vote. I'm very proud of the results, even if I didn't place in two of the three. To come close to placing in those two categories, especially the characterization one is an honor itself.

I have two stories in the Best of 2007 polls, however, so voting isn't quite done. I have Songs of Faith and Devotion: Shake the Disease in the Best Songfic/Poemfic poll, and the drabble What He Found In Her Eyes in the Best Canon poll. I wish everyone luck with the voting!

Journey has also done well in the Destined Awards. It was in three categories there as well. It was in Best Love Story, Best Characterization (Inuyasha this time), and Best Melodrama. It tied for first in Best Love Story and Best Characterization and placed third in Best Melodrama. I'm very proud that it did this well. For a story that's now over three years old, it's a feat to still get people interested enough to nominate it for and vote for it to win awards. Thank you so much.

I can't wait to see what the banners for both awards will look like!

Until next time,

Far Away Eyes

Hey,

The IYFG polls are up! I only had a couple nominations this quarter, and both made it to the ballot, so thanks! I noticed that Journey is up against a lot of really good stories for both Best Drama and Best Characterization (Sesshomaru) and I wish everyone a lot of luck. Despite the latest good news on being featured, I'm not exactly expecting to win either category, but we shall see!

Anyways, good luck everyone on my f-list on the ballot!

Until next time,

Far Away Eyes

Hey,

As I'll be working all day today, and all morning tomorrow, I thought I'd get my IYFG List of eligible works together. Here it is:

Hey,

I'd like to thank doggieearlover for nominating The Journey to the City of Endless Night for both Best Serial and Best Drama this quarter. I would also like to thank inuhanyounikkie for nominating Patience is NOT one of Inuyasha's Virtues for Best Short-Short and The Day the World Went Away for Best Darkfic/Horror. It means so much to me. I'd like to say thank you to everyone who reads, reviews, nominates, and votes for my stories. If you would like to know what else is eligible, please visit this post.

Until next time,

Hey,

Now that the IYFG Banners are finished, I'd like post those and the ones I've gotten for the drabble contests. Here they are:


All the banners are pretty and I can't say thank you enough to forthrightly and caitriona695 for making them for me!

Don't forget that the next IYFG Quarter will begin on Sunday. You can check my nomination reference list here for more information on what is eligible. Good luck to everyone!

Until next time,

Hey,

Well, I hope everyone's May is going well thus far. I know I haven't journaled in awhile, but I've been busy! I worked a lot in April, so that consumed much of my time. I also spent a lot of time working on the next chapter for Journey. I am happy to announce that it is finished, but now I wait for my beta's response on it. As soon as I get a response (or I get way too impatient and post the "un-betaed"), I'll post it for your enjoyment. I am hoping that you'll like it, despite the point of view we're visiting this go round. Speaking of Journey, it took 1st Place at the Feudal Association for Best Characterization of Inuyasha and 3rd for Best Inu/Kag Romance. I'd like to thank everyone who participated. It means a lot to me.

I have also been writing a few drabbles, and much to my surprise they sometimes even win! Here are the banners I have gotten in the last month:


In other news, I have been watching a lot of Ranma. I have the first Perfect Set, and I must say that it is highly addictive. I tell myself I will watch one, and only one, episode, and end up watching anywhere from 4-7 in  a row. It's hilarious and fun, what can I say? I also have all of my Inuyasha US manga releases, so now I can focus on catching up on Ranma. I have 6 volumes so far. Now I have to decide what I want to buy next, another Inuyasha DVD set, a Ranma DVD set, or manga?

Otherwise, that's pretty much it. I will actually get a chance to work on my resume again on Monday or Tuesday, as I have finally gathered a good chunk of my portfolio again. Hopefully that'll help get the career search going again. I most certainly do NOT want to spend the rest of my life in retail, that's for sure!

Until next time,

Anyways, I better get into my before bed routine and get some sleep. 3 AM comes so very early, after all!
