~There's A Place That I Know :: It's Not Pretty There and Few Have Ever Gone...~

And they are really a sight to behold. rizny, you have outdone yourself. Enjoy the graphics hiatus. You have SO earned it.

( Gorgeous Pretties Behind The Cut )

*is still getting over the shock* That...didn't turn out quite the way we expected.

Really.

I'm still trying to get over the huge honor that you guys have given us. Really. We've never experienced an awards where we were quite so decorated. I felt like I was holding my breath to just get a few this year. And then you gifted us with so many. I have to pinch myself to believe it. We both feel a little like Cinderella and we love you all SO DAMN MUCH for it.

On the other hand, those we were competing against were the best authors in the fandom this time around. Are there others that surpass us in writing ability? I know so. Hell, the fans wouldn't have nommed them if they weren't. We were extremely lucky to have squeaked in with just the right amount. I want to give highest props to all the authors and the fans that took the time to make all of us feel extraordinarily lucky to be so loved. Every one of you is utterly amazing and we're so blessed to have you in fandom.

LONG LIVE THE SUPERMAN FANDOM, IN ALL ITS INCARNATIONS!

That said, I shall now list our trove (banners to come once rizny stops working herself to death; seriously, folks, her workload would kill a normal person)

Also, for those that wanted the Zod bumper stickers, they should be available at week's end. ;)

THANK YOU ALL SO VERY, VERY MUCH!

And yes, the chapter will be out on time! :D

and I'm so tied up about how I feel, I think I'll wait until morning to actually comment on it.

I will say, to all those that nommed and voted for our work, this was a HUGE surprise and I love every single one of you. I'm just so blown away by the final tabs.

Easiest way to do this quick little update is in bullet points. I really need to go pass out again...

• First and foremost, due to how crazy our schedule was on this trip, we're going to have to delay a chapter yet again. With all of the drive-time and timing-upsets, we got more planning than actual writing done. The rest of Heirs has been decided down until the final scenes and we plan to make it all as worthwhile as we possibly can. I feel bad, but this is necessary to assure you guys get the best chapter possible. However, there may just be a little oneshot on the way. And it's comedy. :D Hey, Big Sister, you think they'll like The Donkey? *snicker*
• We got to see bistyboo1974  on the way up and there was no way better to brighten what was going to be a VERY long day. Thanks so much, Big Sister, for coming out to see us. Especially since we were not quite awake and VERY cracky. Thanks also for the reactions to some of the spoilers, It really helped. ;)
• We have a TON of ideas for oneshots and are looking forward to the reactions.
• We have film of our mountain adventures and we think you guys will get a kick out of them. We'll start posting stuff tomorrow,
• PICTURES. ZOMG THE PICTURES! It'll take several days to show you guys all the pictures.
• Sleep. I got a ton of it, even when we were getting up early. I feel pretty damn rested up.
• Adventures. We had plenty, although I'll let Anissa tell the stories, as she's better at it. Expect links.
• No internet access for most of the trip. No WiFi in the cabin or most anywhere else. I have a ton of checking up on and can't wait to see how the results for the Awards turn out. I've been kept away from the site on purpose, methinks. *bites nails*

More on events later, once we've had a little more sleep. Is it bad that I can't wait for October? :D BUT I MISSED YOU GUYS SOOOOO MUCH! *tacklesnuggles her F-List*

As tomorrow is the last day to add your thoughts, if you haven't cast your votes, PLEASE do so. I want to make sure that everyone has their choices counted!

I know I've been remiss in reminding everyone of the on-going voting, despite the fact that I've posted my banners! *headdesk* Even if the votes are not for me, PLEASE add your voices to the others and tell us all what your favorites of the last year have been. The final ballot is here. Voting ends the 17th.

Also, there are several fans who don't sign up for accounts, but read a lot of fic and provide reviews. Anonymous users of LiveJournal and fanfiction.net may use the name with which they sign their reviews and the site on which they review or comment. As long as we know who you are and that your vote is valid, everyone will be happy.

Charles, Lauré, this means you. If you feel the urge, I'd love you forever. ♥ But no pressure. I don't want anyone to feel torn and forced to say anything. *blows kiss*

What are you waiting for? Go! Go! :D

Seems like the last run-off ballot didn't run off quite enough. Can we get one more vote from you guys? The final ballot should be up late tomorrow evening, once the last tallies are taken on these last. :D
