limona and i have removed lolashoes' story "my yes, my no" from the bellies award for "missing moment/canon".
why?
she asked us to.
because so many people emailed us complaining that it technically isn't canon.
we were unaware before the announcements were made. what can i say?
to be perfectly honest, the manner in which we were informed of this by several parties (including threads in other forums and twitter as well as emails) made me want to tell everyone where they could leave their complaints, exactly, on my person, but lolashoes went the classy way and gracefully pulled out. she wants to thank everyone for nominating her in the first place, but she does not want me and limona to have to deal with all of the people criticizing the integrity of the awards.
and i'd like to point out that it's not just me and limona... the validators spent hours and hours looking over these stories. i feel like someone has shit on the people that i relied on to make this whole process go smoothly for me, and that's the real reason that i'm smarting today. it's like inviting someone into your home and having someone else criticize the way they've helped you prepare the brisket for a dinner party.
so, i appreciate lolashoes right now more than i can say. truly, i do. just when i was getting fed up with people questioning us (leading off with how much something sucks is not the way to bring about change, just a little tip before you click "submit!"), even if it had merit, lola goes and makes me smile and brings up the boreanaz, not even knowing of my love for him so that's always a bonus.
anyway, i ain't fishing for "oh, you guys work so hard and thanks". no. i'm simply saying "thank you, lolashoes. i appreciate you for maintaining the high ground in this shitstorm of a situation."
for lolashoes; you fluffypinksweaterwillow, me doppelgangerwickedwillow:
let's use this psa of a thread to appreciate people. i wanna see a positive lovefest in here.
for example... i appreciate tor for making me snort like a stuck pig last night.
