(I am not currently nominated for anything. Should you wish to change that, I wouldn’t say no.)

The EPPIES were last night.
I didn’t win, but it’s an honor just to be nominated, right? And there’s always next year.

Chiaroscuro is one of the nominees for the Preditors & Editors readers’ poll.
Wow. That’s very cool. If it was one of you all, thank you very much .
(Apparently winners get a GIF that says “best story in the universe.” I LOVE IT.)

I am proud and pleased to announce that Chiaroscuro is finalist for the 2008 Eppies in the GLBT category.
(No, really. This is me excited.)
