SSHG news and an author's confession

stgulikMy GS100 drabble, "A Revelation Beyond Words," has been nominated in the SSHG Fan Fic Awards in the "Best Drama" category. I want to say I'm really touched that someone liked it enough to remember it when it came time to have fanfics stand and be counted.
Technically, it's a drabble ficlet, yet it's been nominated in the same category as more fully-formed stories. I pointed this out to the mods, but they say they are aware of this.
I didn't mention this when I posted the drabble, but I wrote this drabble after watching "My Fair Lady," because I always wanted the musical to end the way I ended my story. Henry Higgins realizes he is about to lose Eliza to a marriage of convenience, and he jumps up and rushes, nearly too late, to confess how much he really needs her. Instead, we end the movie with a self-satisfied Higgins who has gotten everything he wants, at no cost to himself and at great cost to others. He never has to verbalize his feelings or give the girl any validation. Can you imagine? No, you probably can't; I am probably the only one who wanted to knock Henry Higgins on the head with one of his own books. Anyway, the drabble was my version of a more stgulik-approved ending to "My Fair Lady." Let the record show. :-)
