"Three Letters from the Queen of Elfland" won the 2003 Gaylactic Spectrum Award for Short Fiction.

Having nothing coherent at this moment to say, I shall simply repeat: !!!!!

And many many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] matociquala, who gave my speech for me.

The cool part is, (well, NOW I think it was cool, but at the time I was chewing my nails), is that instead of just announcing the awards they tell you all about the reasoning behind their decisions. They read off the finalists, then say something like, "then we narrowed it down to these four," and explain some more, then "we narrowed it down to these two," and read them out, and the SECOND one is yours, so I'm all nervous even though it's not mine. Reflected glory and all that. Then they go on for a while and it almost sounds like it's the other one they picked, until they go on and talk about yours. And you win!

I wasn't sure if matociquala had told you all that.

Anyway, now I know I will be a nervous wreck at the Hugos tomorrow night. It is SO much easier to handle one's own glory than it is to feel for someone else.

No, she didn't have time to give me the play-by-play, what with the slavering hordes milling about the internet cafe. So thanks!

I'm actually a little, in a disappointed way, glad I wasn't there. I probably would have made a total fool out of myself.

Or maybe you would have just been frozen in your chair, with a fixed smile...

Oh, got to meet matociquala at the Tor party last night, briefly.

Eeee! And I didn't actually realize you were you, because I don't know your real name *g*! But I bet that was you wooohoooing when they called truepenny's name at the ceremony *g*.

Truepenny, I believe your award will be shipped: They only had one at the convention, so it was a communal Spectrum Award.

That was indeed my woohoo.

I just wanted to rather belatedly add my congratulations as well. I haven't checked LJ for few days due to the wedding, so I'm only just catching up. An award, wooooo! And for your first published story! I'm sure that bodes well for future success.

I was so bad--

I actually ditched the end of the ceremony to come email you.

Congrats! *g* I see you already got the blow by blow, which spares my typing fingers. But yay!
