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.
You know, I don't participate in most of the fandom stuff except to post my writings, do my "thing" in my workshops, and VERY occasionally lurk in forums. But this... this is not only unbelievable, but highly insulting. How dare she make me an instrument of her abuse!!
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.
Bingo.
FWIW, I really enjoyed "Ships That Pass In The Night". I recommend it highly. Those interested can find it here.
As a matter of fact, here are ALL the stories I nominated. I hope this will mean some additional reviews for the authors, who deserve them:
