Past Due Thanks
30 Sep 2013 07:25 pmI’m sorry that I let my small victories at round 10 of the Running with Scissors Awards slip past without note. I understand that the one success I had in recognition of my fiction was entirely due to my readership. I do appreciate your support. It’s very sweet of you. Thank you to all who were involved.
This is the award I received for my art — a rare anomaly indeed.

The other pretty is forthcoming.

Running with Scissors Round 10
25 Aug 2013 11:36 pmOnly a few days remain to vote at Running with Scissors where my story In the Time of Wolves is up for consideration.
So go on. Vote if you haven’t.
I don’t even particularly care that you vote for me. I’ll be pleased if lots and lots of people turn out. Showing interest in the fandom is good. Supporting the people who spend their spare time trying to entertain you is better. And as a side benefit, you can make lovely people like darkgoddessgege believe that their time has been well spent organizing and hosting the event.
ツ
It's a win all around. Seriously, go make someone’s day. ♥
Summary: A break in the wake of the schism.
Rating: FRT: Contains Some Mature Themes: Parental Supervision Suggested.
Word Count: 2,580.
Commas Brought to You By: Howard Russell.
