LMFA's. Let the kissing, the smooching, the tears and shameless gushing commence.

I just sat down with a massive G&T to find the awards up... 

I'm astonished by the generosity of those who voted for my stuff. I never expected to win anything. I was stunned, thrilled, bothered and bewildered to be nominated amidst so many brilliant names.

TS is a fandom so rich in talent; all the writers, the visual artists and everyone involved in keeping websites and archives, communities and lists running, not least of all the poor souls who land themselves with the job of  running the awards each year - Thanks to you all and the heartiest congratulations to all those who won or were nominated.

God bless us, every one.

Now back to The Boosh and the gin...

ETA: Can I offer special congratulations to Sheffield for (co)winning best short gen story with Shoes - I've loved this story for a long time; I think it's a masterpiece. I nommed it and voted for it and I'm thrilled to see it win

Congratulations, Gilly! ::hugs tightly:: Very well done, and well deserved.

Enjoy the gin and Boosh - which sounds like a drink, pretty much guaranteed to get you drunk within one glassful!

LOL, a gin and Boosh - wonder what that would be? Gin and Baileys maybe, which is kinda... nauseating. *G*

Thanks for the congrats - I am truly stunned, I really never expected to win at all against such competition. It's a nice way to end a hideous year.

I hope you're having a good New year's (and congrats yourself on the potentiality of new heating - always a very good thing)

Gilly, I was so thrilled to see your awards. VERY deserving! One of these days I need to write you lots of gushing feedback.

Or maybe deliver it in person in October? *g*

Have a lovely new year, sweetheart! Hope 2008 is much better to you.

::smooching you shamelessly (and in public, too)::
Thanks so much, honey. I'm just stunned - it never occurred to me for a second that anyone would vote for my stories - TBH, I've never thought of my stuff as that popular, certainly not in the same league as some of the other winners. I'm still in shock.

Happy New Year to you, too. I've heard so many people say 2007 was a bad one - maybe 2008 will be happier for us all. ♥

Well Earned!

I enjoyed Rainbows and Wind Whispering very much - they were two of the stories I read soon after getting into LJ. It's good to see that so many others thought highly of them as well. Happy New Year!

I'm glad you liked them - I like your stuff too ::mutual smooch::

Very well done on your win, hon; totally deserved. ♥

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

Wheeeeee! Congratulations honey - that's a nice end to a poopy year.

::happy new year hugs:: Hope 2008 is a helluva lot better for you babe.

[mairead027.livejournal.com]

Super Congrats to YOU! :-)

[snycock.livejournal.com]

::smooches you and gushes shamelessly::

Congratulations, hon! You definitely deserve it!

Enjoy the G&T, and I hope you have a very happy New Year (and a much better 2008...)

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

'Enjoy the G&T'
Heh heh. I'm just starting my third. ::Throws arm around Jen and tells her she's m'bes' friend evah!::

MASSIVE congratulations for Every Purpose Under Heaven, hon; never was an award so richly deserved!

::smooches you and gushes shamelessly::
::Gets over-emotional; Burbles tearfully like Sally Field. Audience looks away in embarrassment::

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, I'm still recovering from the shock.

Returns to gin; smooches gin (for it is my friend) *g*

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Coulda knocked me ober with a slice of lightly toasted Nimble when I glanced through the list. Unbe - bloody - lievable!

Thaks for the good wishes - have a gorgeous NY yourself, babycakes. I hope 2008 is better for us all. ♥

[mairead027.livejournal.com]

(Gin brings out the Britney Spears in me - that's why I don't drink it in public)

[jessriley.livejournal.com]

I am so THRILLED for you. You most richly deserve the awards you won and I'm sure there will be many, many more to come. You need to give yourself a huge pat on the back because you did brilliantly.

Have a fantastic New Year!

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

CONGRATULATIONS !! for Wind Whispering and Chasing Rainbows.

I adore both of those stories! ::pours gin and tonic over your head and down your throat::

[kaelana.livejournal.com]

A very happy new year to you, and a well deserved congratulations! Have a G&T for me ;)

:::big hugs:::

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

::Tries to pat self on back, fails miserably, twists something vital::

So glad to see you there as usual, hon. You are one of the greats and deserve each and every accolade the world can throw at you.

And oh man, every time I see that icon I giggle like a loon...

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

::simpers like a big gurl::

Heck... Well thank you kindly! Especially for the gin. Free gin can never be a bad thing, no matter how it's administered.

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much but I think I've had enough gin; more than enough, actually... *g*

::Big hugs from me too::

[maybeatdawn.livejournal.com]

I'm very glad you had such a success ,congratulations, inserting virtual champagne!

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Ooh wow, virtual champagne! ::gets virtually giggly::

Thanks for the good wishes, they are much appreciated.

[t-verano.livejournal.com]

I so faltered in my LJ time for over a WEEK -- just nada, and I'm so sorry I didn't get back here much much sooner to lavish you with champagne and hugs and confetti and big beaming smiles. It was just perfect to see your awards; I know I'll be seeing tons more awards next year for your fics -- and the next year and the next and for as long as you keep writing TS (which you don't ever get to stop doing, BTW :-)) And sheesh -- sharing the New Gen Author with you and also with Snycock -- just... holy heck. Saying that I feel honored to be in your company is beyond an understatement. You were one of my TS guiding lights and greatest joys from the time I first found your fic and I just fizz with delight (and yes, disbelief, despite what you've said to me -- but it's a good kind of disbelief, okay?) to be sharing an award with Panik.

Sending you infinite and utterly deserved squee (my posting of it is -- awfully! -- belated, but I've been squeeing steadily for you for a week and a half now, despite not being here on LJ to do it right) and infinite bubbles, of the finest kind. And infinite squeezy (and squee-zy) hugs.

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm only just catching up myself.

Sending a fine, fat portion of squee back at you; I'm deeply honoured to be sharing that award with you and thrilled you did so well yourself. I adore your writing. Well done, honey bun - but so totally deserved.
