So a story I wrote was nominated for some fic awards, which was very nice. Thing is, it was nominated in several categories, in some of which it's likely to be up against some fairly stiff competition. I have the option to remove it from a category I don't think it qualifies for. Should I do so, and just keep it in the one I think it has the best shot at?
Or is that too much "gaming" of the system?

good. I don't know why I haven't made this in so long.
It's snowing! It's snowing! Yay! It's so pretty. Also I went out and did errands in the snow (it's not coming down very hard) so I feel all proud of myself and stuff.

Well, when it happened to me I left it in the one I felt it was most appropriate for, even though the competition there was stiffer. I don't think it's Evil to shuffle it around if that's what you want to do, though.
I played it fair. Someone had nominated Bellum Interruptum for future fic and comedy, in addition to drama, action/adventure, and AU. I told them to take it out of drama, future fic, and comedy.
As it is, it's unlikely to win anything, but it was nice of whomever it was to nominate me. And then someone went back and nominated Thumbnail for some award that looks at old stories that got missed when they were first posted. Which was very kind.
Snow! Ew! Stay away from here. It's cold enough. I had to dig out an extra blanket last night as it is.
Hmm. I forgot to walk the dog this morning. I should go do that.
Back anon!
Yeah, they're forecasting 3-6 inches--so not that much, but there's supposed to be a quarter-inch of ice on top of it by tomorrow morning. So I'm thinking maybe I'll be staying in tomorrow.

I'm so glad I don't have to walk my cat.

Mmmm. That sounds good. My potato soup that I just got started doesn't sound quite so exciting.
