ecstaticThe Pegasus Awards were created to recognize excellence in filking. Awards are given for individual songs -- two floating categories every year, as well as Best Filk Song and Best Classic Filk Song (a song more than ten years in age). Awards are also given for the Best Performer and Best Writer/Composer. In 2007, I won the Best Performer category in a tie vote with Dr. Mary Crowell (the nice lady in whose kitchen I am typing this entry). This year, I was up for Best Writer/Composer, and my song 'The Black Death' was up for Best Song of Tragedy.
I won Best Writer/Composer. According to those around me, it was one of those rare moments in which I could be seen struck speechless.
Ahem: SQUEE!
Other winners for this year include 'Black Davy's Ride' for Best Song of Tragedy, 'Close Your Eyes' for Best Song of Comedy, 'Archetype Cafe' for Best Classic Song, and 'Uplift' for Best Song. Truly awesome winners all. Best Performer was won by Vixy and Tony, which was neat, since they were sitting at my table. (To be honest, I find most anything good which happens to Vixy neat. I like it when good things happen to Vixy.)
But yes. I won. And I am...really quite over the moon about it.
Glee.
