Is it just me, or do other people feel really insulted by 
all these little "Awards" that are going around right now? 
One or two people are picking the fics they like most and 
basically saying that everything that everyone else has 
written isn't even worth a mention. There are a LOT of 
wonderful fanfics out there that you didn't even mention, 
and in a lot of genres that were not pursued... such as 
Sailormoon fics, BGC fics, other stories. 
	I don't know about you guys, but I am NOT writing 
my stories to win some award. I am happy just if people 
like my story and send me a note every once and a while in 
encouragement. I think that we shouldn't be setting people 
on pedestals.
	The fact that we have degenerated into needing to 
give some kind of an award seems superfluous and just 
bizzare. How do other people feel about this? Am I alone ?

maybe it's just PMS
