I understand that completely. For the longest time, I really wanted to
win a DSTA. At the beginning, I knew I wasn't ready. But after a while,
I wrote a story (a oneshot) I really liked, and it was well received. I
thought, "This is it!"
Alas, as Albus would say, :-) that same month Cel (or cwarbeck) released
a oneshot too and she won. I was a bit bummed, but at least I had the
satisfaction of knowing that her winning story was much better than mine
(and she's a really nice person too), so I didn't feel all that bad. Had
it been some other story that didn't seem as good to me, I definitely
would have been depressed for a few days.
But hey, I managed to have inspiration and later got a DSTA, so my goal
has been accomplished. :-)
Hang in there Kezza and keep writing!

Nope. There have been several that couldn't fit into canon at all (or
would have been very hard pressed to have fit), and were definitely A/U
in nature. Of course, that may depend on how you interpret parts of
canon. :-)

Agreed.

Erm ... yeah ... that's um, my vote ...
You make that sound like a privilege. I like the way you think!
