Question of the Day Part 5
FrickingKaos:
It is the BEST feeling in the entire world. I was so excited when you were reading too, because I look up to you guys. I look up to so many people here that I can't list them but having that happen while being a newbie....I got so much confidence from that.
My confidence in my writing has gotten tons better in the past year and I have all you girls to thank for that.
RokofAges75:
Aww, thanks, and you're welcome! It never stops being awesome to hear that other people like your work, whether they're writers you've admired for years or readers who are brand new to the site. And it's also flattering to find out that someone looks up to you the way that you've looked up to others.

I really enjoy the Felix Awards, it's a great feeling to just get nominated for anything and also to see some of my favourite author win awards.
Another good memory is discovering this place and the all the amazing stories posted here. Before finding AC, I'd only read romance with the author as the female lead.
Having my favourite writers read my stories and review them.
Purpura Lipstick:
One of my earliest favorite writing memories was sitting at the computer listening to music writing More Than That while chatting with the other Lipsticks to get ready for an update to the site and making smart ass comments to the show I was listening to, Murasaki was watching, in the background. I don't know why that has stuck with me but it has.
Being surprised by the reaction some of my stories have gotten/get. I love my own stories but to get reviews or comments from people saying how much they enjoy reading them is just a really nice feeling. I have been especially surprised lately because I've had two people recently read and OLD story of mine and enjoy it. It was so long ago, I have grown as a writer so I didn't think the way it was written was as good but it was nice to get comments from people who just read it and like it.
Being nominated and winning the award this past year at the Felix Awards. When I saw who I was up against I didn't think I had a chance of actually winning. I'm still in shock that I won.
The 00Carter chats are definitely entertaining and it's awesome how the ideas just blurt out from everyone. And I have to give props to Rose for making sense of some of our random spew and forming the outlines as we go.

Sorry for the morbid question, it was all Julie's fault lol
As far as favorite writing memory. I have a few but not all of them have to do with writing. lol
The very first time I got feedback for Mizpah was pretty amazing because up until that point, I had never experienced that before. And just as Tracy mentioned me and I thank you so much for that, Tracy! To think i'm one of your favorite fanfic memories is incredible to me! Along those lines I can clearly remember the first time I ever got an email from Jenna, Swenglish and of course Chaos. I squeed as if the boys themselves had sent me feedback lol It means a lot when someone you look up to awknoledges your writing.
Writing Phantasm was a highlight for me because it's how I got really close to a lot of the fanfic writers I admire so much. Just emailing people back and forth and Iming others, this is really when Mersey and I became super close. The actual story wasn't all that great but the experience is something i'll never forget lol
Opening this forum! This was a big deal that both Julilly and I really pushed for and when we finally got to do it, I was hoping it would be a place where we could all go and talk about fanfic. I am so glad it ended up being just that and also it makes me smile knowing some real friendships were born because of this forum!
The featured author/story thread - I am so proud to have kept this going for as long as I have. We are now on our 67th story being featured. I just feel like so many other sites have tried to take this idea and run with it but they have all failed and we are still going strong. I take great pride in that and am really excited to see some of you mention that as an answer to your question.
Also thanks for all the Felix mentions. I really feel like Felix is Julilly's baby but it is a lot of work and we're glad you guys really enjoy it!
