Fic Talk > Felix Awards

It's almost time!

<< < (2/4) > >>

honey:
Well, seeing as how these awards are taking place at 5pm and It's going to be in the middle of dinner time with a million people over for my mother's birthday, I will most likely be forgoing the PJ's this year. (Though it was a fabulous choice for last year.) So, knowing me, I'll be in some kind of skirt and t-shirt. (I wear skirts pretty-much daily. Pants are so over-rated!)

And if We've got the slip n' slide and the skim boards out for the party then I'll probably be sporting a swimsuit and beach towel. Ohh-la-la!  (Yes I will be blowing off a family party for the awards ceremony, lol, but they'll be here all day. They can watch my kids for a while.)


As far as predictions, it's hard to say. There are a tone of great stories, half of which I haven't read. I'm sure we'll see a couple of the oldies take some of the awards, (I mean how could Mare and Chaos not win one or two?) But there were some great new authors on the list this year, so I'll bet we're in for a couple of surprises! I did prepare my speeches but I'm sure most of them were completely unnecessary. And thanks, you guys for the kind words about Sarah and I. (Since we were slackers and didn't write speeches for the awards we were nominated for together.)

I don't know if I'll be around for the actual ceremony!  But, in the event I am I'll probably be at my boyfriend's house (where I usually am on Saturday evenings) and wearing shorts and a tshirt. 

I did prepare a speech, and it would be really cool if I won, but I'm up against a lot of really awesome authors in my category (best challenge)  My prediction is that the award could go to anyone in that category really, all of the stories are awesome!  I guess I'll go with honey or Chaos, since they seem to be popular authors on the site :)

That being said I'm really excited for this!  I was around for the Felix awards last year, but at that point I was still kind of new to AC and whatnot.  This time around I'll have read a lot more of the stories, and I've gotten to know everyone better so it should be lots of fun!

This will be my first time participating in the Felix Awards and I'm very excited! In actuality I'll probly be wearing shorts and a tank top...then again it depends on the day because the weather here, in Michigan, has been NUTS this year...it's been cold for most of July, so I might be wearing sweats, LOL.

The only category I'm up for in the judged portion is Best Unfinished, which I am betting either Ash or Darby will take. I almost didn't prepare a speech because I'm sure I won't win the category, but ended up doing it, just for fun!

There are a lot of stories, up for awards,  that I haven't read but I'm predicting that Mare, Ash, Julilly, Kelly and Rose will all take at least one award home. I'm also pretty sure that 00Carter will end up with Best Collab. I am rooting for Erika to get something for Sinister Devotion, too, because I think it's an amazing story. I'll be excited to see how everything goes down!  :)

I'm a first timer too...and I will be hostessing with the mostessing by having two of my hubby's brothers over along with their families for a cookout on Saturday night, but I will check in throughout the night!  I will probably have on my normal summer gear...a sundress or some shorts and a top.

I wrote one speech for all of the different judged awards, I have no expectations. It meant a lot for me to be nominated (I know that sounds very Sally Field and cliched but it is true).  I wrote actual speeches for geared toward the readers choice ones that I know I won.

I have no idea who will win any of the awards...I haven't read a lot of the stories nominated but I definitely have a few I plan to read.  And, of the ones that I have read that are nominated it's hard to say because I love them all.  I am excited to see how this all turns out!!!

Another first timer here  :)  I will be in Louisville tomorrow (or Lou-uh-vul for those playing along) for my friend's husband's 30th birthday bash so I'll be all dressed up in a pretty dress with somewhere to go, but I can't wait to get home and find out who won.

I did write a speech but it was generic for all my stories because I'm busy busy with work.  I don't have any great expectations either... I'm just thrilled that someone enjoyed my stories enough for them to make the list -- so thanks everyone!

I don't know who will win, but I do know that anyone who does win will be deserving of their award.  I have read nearly all of the nominated stories in entirety and I'm still working on some and I have not been disappointed by the talent.  So good luck to everyone tomorrow night!
