First of all a huge thanks to the wonderful mods who run the TEAs. I can’t imagine the amount of work that goes into collating all the nominations and the ballots. I’ve never been in a fandom that has so many wonderful events. The Rumbelle fandom truly is fantastic and I’m so grateful that you guys let me join in. Everyone has been so kind and welcoming. Honestly this is just a wonderful community. You guys are great!
This was my first TEA experience and my hope was that maybe I might gain a couple of new readers. To get nominated was mind-blowing and I am so very grateful for that! To win two categories is just … wow, I am overwhelmed. Thank you so much for the compliment, I’m really honored. Truly it means a lot, totally made my month 🙂
Special: Best Drama – Painting Layers of Love
I confess when this got nominated, if I was hoping for a win with any fic it was this one because it means a lot to me personally. I know I’m quite slow at updating, it’s hard to write sometimes because I really want to do it justice if I can. This started life as a quick response to an inspiration aesthetic. It’s amazing how stories can grow. Thank you all so much for supporting this fic!
Events: Monthly Rumbelling (Non-Smut) – Transposing Digits
This fic is like the ‘little fic that could’. It started off as a oneshot, which then gained four more chapters thanks to prompts, and has since spawned an entire verse. I didn’t think to ask for consideration in this category, so the nomination was a complete surprise and I’m humbled by the win. I do love the Monthly Rumbelling event. The only problem is it spawns more plot bunnies than I can keep up with 🙂
Seriously thank you all so much! I feel like I should do something to say thank you/celebrate, but I suppose the best thing I could probably do is crack on with the next chapter of Painting Layers of Love yeah? So I’ll do that 🙂 Honestly, thank you all again, I really am truly honored.
theoneandonlylittlebird reblogged your post and added: “TEA Thank You”
I’m so happy for you! I whooped when I heard your name/stories announced! Well deserved!
And hey, if picking up a TEA or two inspires you to give me more of what I love, this is a win for me (and everyone else!).
Thank you *hugs you* heh I was inspired before honest! Painting Layers of Love is due another chapter. I’m averaging about once a month at the moment, and it was last updated January 15th so I’m running late as it is. I didn’t need a TEA win to make me write it. I would do it anyway I swear.
My writing discipline has been MIA for a couple of months so I’m quite behind on everything, but it will happen! I’m not going to make any promises as to when, probably next week given the current progress level 🙂
