Being Flabbergasted
I've just been informed that one of my stories from last year's lgbtfest , Being Liquid, was nominated for the Hourglass Awards in the Best Gen Fic category.  I'm not too familiar with these awards, or award sites in general, but I'm completely flattered nonetheless.  And after glancing at some of the other amazing authors and fics that have been nominated, I think I've actually gone past flattered to flabbergasted.  Haha.

At first I was a little confused as to why it was nominated in the Gen category since the story features a prominent, central relationship.  But looking at the other options, I suppose it doesn't quite fall into het or slash, does it?  I'm guessing that was the logic behind labeling it gen.  Hey, works for me.

I don't really expect anything to come of this, which is totally fine.  Being nominated is pretty damn exciting in itself.  This is the first writing award I've been up for, and at the moment it's making me all warm and fuzzy inside, ha.  Thank you so much to whoever took the time to put my name in!
