Most Mischievous Imp Winner

I stand back and admire the last few finishing touches on the cake I just finished decorating. Ahhh, perfect.

In real life, I’m not great at cake decorating, or any kind of visual art really. But here in the InterFictionVerse, I am brilliant at it. The imps are going to love it. And besides, who cares if they didn’t get the most votes when there’s amazing cake for everyone that is both delicious AND beautiful?

Let the 2024 Silmaril Awards Voting Commence!

Y’all…

stumbles out of the house looking about wildly and panting

Oh, hello. I’m sorry, I didn’t see you standing there. It has been a WEEK, my friends!

We have to have somewhere in the ballpark of 200 dragons out there!

Silmaril Awards 2023: Time to Vote!

What a whirlwind of a week it’s been!

Y’all sent 45 dragons descending on my house. Forty-five. Even with British sci-fi technology helping out, it’s been a bit of a tight squeeze. Some of these dragons bring a rather enormous amount of ego along with them, which doesn’t help it feel any less cramped. They also have very particular needs and demands… er… requests. Several of them have started hoards in various corners, and there are… rather a lot of little bonfires that have been started in various places. I’m really hoping that the fireproofing that came with the whole package I ordered to make the basement spacious enough is actually working, or my husband is NOT gonna be happy when he gets back from his business trip!

Oh, excuse me a moment…
