To Nieriel Raina, Jael, and Thranduil Oropherion Redux, my deepest and most sincere apologies. I thought I was doing you folks a favor and giving your stories another chance to shine, and I ended up enabling an abuser to continue her campaign of abuse through me.

Thank you. I appreciate it -- probably more than winning one of the awards and being included in the archive. I could have warned you that would happen. Two stories by Aislynn and me that Spiced Wine recommended on Wendwriters Great Darkfic Writers Thread had their posts deleted too.

Here's a little tip -- if you want credibility for your archive and your awards, then hidden subjective rules based on your own personal prejudices are not the way to go about it.

I hope that doesn't put you off nominating other people. I get along fine with everyone else.

LOL, until they cross you.
