I just stumbled across the latest part of 'I Had No Idea I Had Been Traveling' last night and ended up staying up till 4 in the morning reading it all the way through, because you and RM have me thoroughly hooked.

I'd have settled for being nominated, but since my output's been rather megre, twas not to be. Congratulation on the Runner-Up awards, though. If it makes you feel better, I voted for you as Winner in the second category, since I've never read SoI (I've already got a dozen multi-chapter stories I'm following, and I've sworn I'm not going to take on any more till at least one-possibly two-of them are finished).

*grins* Thank you so much! We're delighted to have 'hooked' you.

re: awards, it's always a lovely thrill to be recognized, naturally. But as I say upthread, I find the whole fandom awards thing to be a bit odd. Loads of really awesome fic gets missed; categories end up comparing stories that are doing very different things and measuring them against each other, which is not really fair to either, and I find the idea of giving quality awards based on majority vote to be puzzling (though I suppose there's no real good alternative...)

But thank you so much for voting and even more for reading. That's what it's about, for us, in the end really.

If it makes you feel any better... IHNIIBT will be done pretty soon! Only one more chunk to go... That'll clear up a new slot for you ;-)

Yes, but I don't WANT it to be done! It's fascinating and unlike anything I've ever read in Torchwood fandom, and I've grown quit fond of it, like I have 'The Oncoming Storm' and Teach's 'Un' series (though we're between stories right now there).

I envy people who can write long, multi-chaptered stories, because I'm lucky if I can come up with anything more than 2-3 pages long. I don't have the patience to write them myself, but I do so love reading them.
