The July 2001 Silver Clitorides Awards Presentation:
"Explain to me again why you cut off the votes for July at noon
and let the January Awards run until midnight?"
What could I do besides sigh? I'd told my Muse my reasoning at
least a dozen times (okay, three) and she still didn't see the
point.
"I want to 'cast a streaming video of the awards presentation," I
patiently explained, "and I want each presentation to be unique
and special for the winners."
She looked at me strangely. "And you think a streaming video of
you holding a little statuette of a naked silver woman and
certificate varnished onto a grey piece of wood is going to make
a lasting impression, or increase the thrill of victory?"
"It's called 'sharing the joy.' It was, like, Delta's last
request. And shared joy is multiplied." Maybe I was spending
too much time lurking at Alt.Callahans.
"Have you advertised this event on ASSD?"
Oops. "No, but the whole of ASSD is waiting eagerly for the
awards presentation, and they'll see the post and the link and
want to see the presentation." I heard a touch of defensiveness
in my own voice.
"You just couldn't think of another place to hold the
presentation as nice as the Conch Train," she accused. And whose
fault was that, anyway. She is my Muse, after all.
"I heard that! I suggested the top of the 'Eiffel Tower' at
King's Dominion."
I tend to forget that Muses read minds. So she'll also get that
I'm thinking that freezing temperatures in a closed (for the
season) amusement park don't make for a "rewarding" experience,
either.
"It's a July award. I would have made the temperatures
appropriate and the park open."
"You could do that?" She could do that. Muses are magical. She
just smiled in response. Why hadn't I asked sooner?
She answered that one. "You were preoccupied with Fred," she
said. I glanced at the carcass of my old computer. "You usually
start writing these awards presentations, at least the
background, as soon as you announce the finalists."
"You really don't like the idea of the streaming video?"
"No. And you're already way behind - you're not even dressed."
"So I should just announce the winner, apologise, and move on?"
She rolled her eyes. "You don't apologise. Your presentation
isn't what makes the Silver Clitorides Award special to the
recipient - it's the fact that their fans and other writers cared
enough to vote for their stories. The Author shared the story,
then the readers shared the story - and that's the joy."
"You mean I could just sit here in my bathrobe at the keyboard
and type, 'The winner of the Silver Clitorides Award for July,
2001 is Why The Bride Was Late by Oosh' and she'd enjoy the award
just as much as if I had gathered a crowd at the top of a 1/3
scale Eiffel Tower?"
"Well," she smiled tolerantly, "you might have left out the
bathrobe and included a link to let people know where to find it.
And you might consider adding your congratulations."
"No streaming video?"
"No streaming video."
"Can I at least make jokes about how difficult it must be to walk
with all those silver and gold clitties?"
"No."
"But..."
"NO." Fine!
So, here I am sitting without my bathrobe at the keyboard,
typing:
It is my pleasure to announce that
the winner of the Silver Clitorides Award
for the Best Story of the month of July, 2001 is
"Why The Bride Was Late" by Oosh.
Congratulations and Well Done!
