I honestly don't know what just happened guys. I just finished my first week of internship at my new job and I came home exhausted, ready to fall into a deeply needed nap when I decided to check my AFF account. There, I saw that I had a message. At first, I thought it was another request and I opened it with a smile but my smile turned into an unstoppable grin when I realized what the actual message was. 

Guys, I got nominated. 

Okay, I never really put any emphasis on those contest before because I am against self-nominations and I never considered myself good enough anyway but apparently there is someone, somewhere, that thought I worth rooting for. I don't know the identity of that person but, whoever you are, thank you. 

So I got nominated for the first time in my life and, not only that, I got nominated in the category ' Favorite Author'. I must say that I am in such a blissful state right now. I don't even know how to react actually. 

I've decided something. Since the award is for Exo fanfics and that I took the decision to fully work on BTS from now on, I thought this contest might be my chance of an ultimate and proper salute for now. Not that I won't ever write about Exo again, but this contest gives me the chance to make maybe one last oneshot about the guys for a long time. 

The votes are supposed to start on December 2nd and the winners will be announced on December 21st (which is like 5 days before my birthday) I don't want to put pressure to win anything because I know so many love-worthy authors will be nominated as well, but if I get the chance to win, I plan on making one last oneshot about Exo as many of you requested. My own way to thank you guys for everything. 

To those who will vote for me ( if ever there is any xD ) I thank you from the bottom of my heart. This might not seem like a big deal but, to me, it really is. Of course, if your ultimate favorite author is in nomination as well, go vote for them, but if ever you want to help the votes and don't know who to choose in that category, I hope you'll have a little thought for a certain girl for which writing became the main source of expression and stress-relief. 

From the very bottom of my heart - and I mean it guys- thank you. Not only for the nomination but for the love and support I've received since day one. You are making it possible for me to follow a long time hidden dream and I certainly don't plan on failing you guys anytime soon. Your happiness is mine. 

I'll continue to work as hard as always.

Sincerely yours, guys,
