Lugnutz Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Well deserved. I applaud you. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 To be even mentioned in the same breath with those other four is indeed an honor. C Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I bow on the ground you pee on. Backup stories, indeed. Link to comment
Guest Dabeagle Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm kind of stunned, pleasantly so. Link to comment
dude Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Congrats, guys! And it's gratifying to know that three of the stories nominated are hosted at AD and five are by AD Authors! Link to comment
TalonRider Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Looking back at the history of this category, Graeme won in 2006 with New Brother, 2007 with Heart of the Tree and 2008 with The Price of Friendship. Jamie won in 2009 and 2010 with The Scrolls of Icaria. The Scrolls was nominated, but didn't receive enough to make the top five. Link to comment
Gee Whillickers Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I don't want to rain on this parade, but why wasn't this thread started outside the Green Room where regular members and readers can see it? It seems we seldom see posts any more from regular members - readers and authors from other sites included - because all the 'action' goes on behind closed doors. Especially when our 'family' is honored... we should spread the word, not hide it! Mike Agreed. This is a high honor to the quality of the writing and authors here at Awesomedude. Let's celebrate and spread the word as far as possible. Link to comment
The Pecman Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 That's great! Congrats, guys. Link to comment
colinian Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Congratulations to all of you guys. I've read most of these stories, and definitely intend to read the rest. Colin Link to comment
Graeme Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 AD and AD authors have always featured strongly in the GA awards. Congratulations to this years nominees and good luck! It just goes to show how strong AweseomeDude is as a site for quality authors in that it's acknowleged by other sites for the ongoing quality of stories that are here. Well done to everyone, but especially to Dude for providing us the place for our stories! Link to comment
Chris James Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Goodness, I wasn't even aware this was happening. It is a great honor to be in the lineup with AD's other fine authors. Hmm, not that I am fine, that didn't come out right. But I have always been inspired by the company I keep. And yes, thank you Dude for sharing a warm seat beside the fire on an otherwise cold internet. To clarify, the Exit Hollywood story is not posted on Awesomedude but on the Iomfats website in what I thought might be relative obscurity, at least to the readers here. (That story is part of a trilogy that runs over a 1000 pages long and I hesitate to put the Dude through formatting anything like that). I suppose my thanks will also be due to Timmy who runs the Iomfats site. But I am heartened to see that readers roam the internet searching out our work no matter where it is hosted. Link to comment
Wildone Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I had made my nominations when I saw someone had nominated 'The Wayward Son' by Dabeagle. I started reading it and after two sleepless nights, I got caught up to Chapter 12. I have to admit that I went back and asked one of my nominations be changed to make sure that this one was included in this years nominees. All of you should take a bow :) I, like others come here often to catch up on my favourite writers that post here. Keep up all the good work! Link to comment
TracyMN Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 because all the 'action' goes on behind closed doors. There's a Green Room?! Define "writer". I've embarrassed myself for less. Tracy Link to comment
Camy Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 There's a Green Room?! Tracy It's only green because there's a huge pile of washing up festering in the sink and he (who shall be nameless) won't do it. Link to comment
Gee Whillickers Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sorry. I'm allergic to slime-mold. Besides, I'm pretty sure it Lugnutz's turn. Link to comment

Guest Dabeagle Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I haven't been on loo patrol in ages. There's the problem right there, he's not taking his turn! Link to comment

Chris James Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Mike Arram and Sequoyah are tied as winners for best non-GA story, but then we already knew what fine winning authors they are. Congrats to you both for all the hard work you put into your stories. Awesomedude should be very proud to host your work. This is a well deserved kudo for you both. Now if there was only cash involved... Link to comment
Guest Dabeagle Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Congratulations to the winners! Link to comment
