Is it just me, or do other people feel really insulted by
all these little "Awards" that are going around right now?
One or two people are picking the fics they like most and
basically saying that everything that everyone else has
written isn't even worth a mention. There are a LOT of
wonderful fanfics out there that you didn't even mention,
and in a lot of genres that were not pursued... such as
Sailormoon fics, BGC fics, other stories.
       I don't know about you guys, but I am NOT writing
my stories to win some award. I am happy just if people
like my story and send me a note every once and a while in
encouragement. I think that we shouldn't be setting people
on pedestals.
       The fact that we have degenerated into needing to
give some kind of an award seems superfluous and just
bizzare. How do other people feel about this? Am I alone ?

Hmm... Mihoshi is not insulted, really, Mihoshi knows her work will never
be in awards of any kind.  Mihoshi doesn't mind. ^_^  Mihoshi writes for
the enjoyment of writing!  And people sending her comments on her work,
good or bad, is award enough.  Mihoshi's only comment on the awards would
be... 'Ne, 1996 isn't over yet, bit early, isn't it?'

Mihoshi agrees though, there are a lot of fics out there that are really
good.  Some always get overlooked in an award thing.  And overlooking them,
well, seems a little unfair at best.
