There is no record of a complaint - meaning someone 'complained' privately to a friend or someone who knew she would scratch her back. And I have a suspicious feeling WHO that was. this also reeks of favoritism. Just what you want in an awards group, eh? Afraid of the competition? NO problem.

This information set me off MORE than the fact that I was booted.
Thing is, I know people who KNEW what happened - one entered HER ROhirrim fics who were very similar to what I wrote and hers were accepted, honorable mentions, etc. We were all perplexed.

Wow, what a perfect example of whited sepulchers; all white and clean on the surface and a mass of seething corruption underneath.
I know she has a following, but I find writing like that to be rather milk toast and I find that boring. There is no joy of life, no passion, no love. There is no up and down in moods. It's all one level, one tone.
I don't know what placed this year save for a few stories I nominated and voted, but I know exactly what you mean by milk toast.
