In my last post I mentioned how happy I was with getting some awesome comments on my last story. Now I deleted that part and added it back a few times, because what if people thought I was this egotistical big head?

But you know, I am proud and there's nothing wrong with that. So I'm standing here and saying I'm proud of the story, I think I wrote it well.

Now I want you to do the same. No need to dim your shine, it's just me, and I'm asking you to tell me about the story you're most proud of, with links so others can read it too if you're comfortable sharing. A paragraph that you wrote and think is amazing, and hey, copy pasting that here would be awesome. If you're not a writer, tell me about an icon you made that came out well, a graphic or a website you built. Tell me about the kick ass cards you make, that you've painted your walls at home and they look fab. The shelves you made out of breeze blocks and planks.

I want to know. So no hiding your light. Be proud.

I couldn't pick one story to be most proud of, but I do know that all the contenders are stories I wrote for a challenge - SeSa, or the Dragon Challenge, or Sparklyglee, or the Reunion Challenge, possible one or two others. Somehow these challenges really work for me. (I think the number of challenges and sources of inspiration really cemented me into popslash from very early on, and it has been so wonderful to be able to write again. I *hate* not being able to write, and for a long time I had nothing to say.)

Maybe... I'm *most* proud of the Dragon Challenge, not just for my own stories but for the way it has brought a lot of really awesome stories into the fandom. Or, maybe I'm most proud of Camp Sparkle.

We should both definitely be proud of Camp Sparkle, because it's easy to sit around and say, oh, yeah, there should be a popslash gathering, that would be cool, someone should get on to that. But we actually DID it. Twice! We are awesome!

You are awesome! Because once was enough for me. :)

And we're doing it again next year!

Hmm. You know, maybe the word I was looking for wasn't awesome, but 'insane'.

You're both totally awesome!!

In fact, we are! We *are* awesome! Go us!

I so agree with you. The challenges in the fandom are amazing. I love the variety of them, and the fact they produce such awesome stories.

Your dragon challenge always provides such amazing results. So many different stories all based on one prompt, or two the year after. That really is something to be proud of.

Or, maybe I'm most proud of Camp Sparkle.

Camp Sparkle. I hope you and Anna know how much people love Camp Sparkle. I know it must be so much hard work to organise, yet you do it, and do it well. You deserve to be proud.
