Is the pregnant woman on the back Maria, Tess or Isabel? I can't tell.

I didn't do manips for those, so it's kind of just whoever you want. Probably Maria and Isabel, since Miley and Garret are the dominant kids in the story.

Thanks, BB, Novy, and Leila! And no, Leila, you don't have to tell me who you love.

And thanks to anyone who nominated me for the Part B categories of our lovely RF awards. I've so graciously been nominated for:

Most Thought-Provoking Feedbacker
Funniest Feedbacker

Favorite Author of a Candy fic
Favorite Author of a Kyle/Tess fic -- (this one is especially cool since 521/522 were my first forays into more in-depth Lamptrimmer storylines)

Funniest Author
Angstiest Author

Honestly, I've been so bad about feedbacking lately that I literally feel guilty for the feedbacker noms. I blame the insanity that is student teaching for distracting me.

Thanks again!

Gosh, you guys beat me!

Well, I have to say, I'm quite shocked by a lot of these. Being up against Crush and Hiding Beneath and the like, I know I don't stand a chance, but it's always nice to be included.

Part C Nominations:

Best All-Around Story - 521

Best Conventional Couple Fanfic - 521

Best Candy Fic - Car Crashes (A TRUE surprise, because I jotted this little diddy down in about two days, if I recall, and didn't expect anyone to even remember it.)

Best Short Story - Car Crashes

Best AU w/o Aliens Fanfic - 521

Most Suspenseful Fanfic - 521

Fic That Left You Bouncing in Your Seat for an Update - 522 ( It's always nice to know my devious cliffhangers are appreciated!)

Funniest Fanfic - 521 (See, there WERE humerous moments!)

Fic That Made You Cry the Hardest - 521 (And a lot of sad moments.)

Best Series - 521/522 (Aw, this nomination probably means the most, as this is the first extensive series I've written and I was very nervous about doing a sequel.)

Fic for which You'd Most Like to See a Sequel - Passion

Most Talked About Fic - 521 (Please just vote for Crush. It deserves it.)

Fanfic Conversion Award (top recommendation) - 521

I'm not sure what happened to me in the Best Musical Use category this year. I remember being nominated, but . . . am I not allowed to be because it's a sequel? Ah, whatever.

Thank you SO MUCH to anyone who nominated my fics, and congrats and god luck to all the nominees! I love RF award season.

-April

Well, wonders never cease! I'm quite surprised by a lot of these noms, but thank you to everyone who put my name in the running!

Part D nominations

Favorite Last Line - Car Crashes

Favorite First Chapter - Passion
Favorite Last Chapter/Epilogue - Passion

Best Villain - Phillip Evans in 522 (I appreciate the abstract thought behind that one.)
Favorite Unconventional/Unique Friendship - Liz and Tess in 522

Fic that Deserves to be Published - 521

Thanks again, you guys! Congrats and good luck to all nominees!

-April

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My trial version of Photoshop expires today, so here is the last of the stuff I came up with this past month, some manips and some other artwork:




(I feel like this is one of the better manips I've done!)






(Blonde Liz!)








(A banner I made for Encounters over at CID - just as a gift to the author)



(I'm not crazy about this one. I felt like it was going to turn out great, and it just didn't.)








(Definitely the sexiest manip I've done. And the first one involving a male! Steffi inspired me.)

Yes, you're always welcome to snag and use whatever you want. Novy with a Tess icon. That would be something!

Thanks, you guys! You beat me to it.
Now I'm off to post my 522 update. It's a doozy!

I mean Congrats!

Strange thing is, I actually wrote happy birthday first without even thinking about it.

You're getting old and senile.

Ah, once again, you guys beat me to it! Thank you, thank you!

Steffi. Yes, let's rip that award in half.

Thank you so much once again!

Oh my gosh, I'm so excited, you guys. I got a JOB today! I'm officially a teacher now!

I only did one official interview, and that was all it took! I'm shocked and thrilled and will soon be teaching 7th grade!
