I hear I'm expected to make a speech? Dammit, I don't do well with spontaneous talking. But I've never let that stop me before.

Thank you kindly to everybody who voted for me. This is only my second award ever, so allow me a moment to bounce and squeal, okay?

pause

I'm back.

Great big liqueur-chocolate props to Teanna and Christine, without whom the Swing would never have happened. You guys rock the freakin' casbah. Many, many Sloe Comfortable Screws to my ass-kicking betas, Christine and LauraJo, who isn't a slasher and yet did her half of the beta work at warp speed.

Lara also needs a mention, as the chick whose birthday was my inspiration for stepping into Lake Slash for the first time. Solidarity.

I'd also like to thank everybody else that I'm supposed to and forgot about.

takes a bow

And I'm done.
