Once upon a time, there was a really cool new community called Kink-bingo. A friend talked me into signing up, and I worked so hard. I came in first that inaugural round even though it meant that I had to write a lot of kinks and a lot of fandoms I'd never tried before. After the standings came out, I waited... and waited... and waited. The joy of winning really dulled, until finally I made an award for myself and for those friends on my flist that had won. They were pretty awards, but they weren't real, and I never escaped the feeling that I had crept into someone else's party and taken a prize they didn't want me to have, and that feeling stayed with me when the real awards appeared eight months later.

Writing is hard. Writing is harder when you don't get recognized. I understand that.

So, mods, I'm probably stepping all over toes, and I'm sorry, but the lack of tracking isn't taming muses, it's abusing the muses, and we all have too much trouble getting those stubborn ladies to stay around already.

So, without permission from the mods or any particular authority, here is the current standing and awards of all authors active since prompt #213. Mods, I have been very careful about getting this right, but I am relying on tags, so authors who didn't tag their entries may have more stories that they can point to.

Runs include prompt 254 (From Whence) but not 255 (Jackhammer). I've left out a couple of randomly scattered stories that weren't included in runs or awards.

I'm so sorry that someone dropped the ball and didn't track those. If it happens again with the plagiarism, leave the post up that points to the story in your journal and lock it down. When I have original material that I can't afford to have plagiarized, I will often put the post pointing to my journal in here for anyone to see, but only friends can click the link.

When I started, I was actually posting the story on TtM, so I had no choice, but to take them down. Now I've started with the links back to my LJ, so that shouldn't happen again. I didn't realize that someone could (or even would) steal my stuff. I didn't think it was worth stealing, but apparently someone did.

That's horrible that someone would steal. I think some plagiarists look for talented people who are new enough to a fandom that their work won't be recognized. I'm just sick that you lost all that work.
