I Can't Believe It

I... won... I won in a BZP contest...

 

For the first time, in my three years on this little site and hidey-hole on the Net, I finally won a BZP contest.

 

 

OK, it's an honourable mention, but it's better than nothing!

 

I'll be honest that I thought my songfic would get somewhere, but I had not expected a winning position at all!

 

I'm dumbfounded, speechless, well... genuinely surprised. I checked the topic after my 8am test, with my friends around me.

 

Everyone laughed when I squeaked.

 

 

Ahh, I don't know if I should go around screaming that I 'won' an online contest, or should I sit and smile like a maniac and creep the rest of my classmates out.

 

 

I've done it. A win under my belt, and here's to more Bionicle fiction from me!

*toast!*

 

The fic, I Hope You Can Dance, for your reading pleasure

Well, I'm sure if we had more story contests, you'd win a few more. I mean, we're on Epic Contest #5, Short Story Contest #3, while they're on BBC Contest #97... or something like that. :P

 

Anyway, I enjoyed your story, and congrads on your win. My own reaction wasn't too much different from yours. ^_^

 

:music:

:lol: Surely, 'cj? *points to his sig* Look at what's on your belt!

 

Ah well, that means I gotta keep improving. At least I know that I'm somewhere, and not nowhere. :P

 

And, besides, Short Stories aren't as popular as BBCs, unfortunately. If it was the other way, Bionicle would've been totally in text! All books, no sets... imagine that.

I advertise BZPower all the time to customers at my store when they're picking up the Bionicle books. It's a great way for young kids to flex their muscles on the Internet and locate other people who have just as much a love for the toyline as they do -- and to let it grow!

 

I, personally, see nothing wrong with boasting to your buddies that you won a contest here on BZPower. Granted, likely not many people know about it outside those fans of LEGO and Bionicle, but I personally see no harm in telling people about it.

 

In any event, you say people laughed when you squeaked? Hey, you already told people apparently. ;)

 

Congrats, Daydreamer. *thumbs up* :-D

They were watching me and saw it all. I didn't have to say much, except to explain why I squeaked.

 

Heh.

 

I told many teachers about my online writing experience. My English teacher encouraged me to do it seriously.

 

And thanks! ^_^
