It's an honor just to be nominated

So I wrote a fanfic a while ago. I'm not proud of it, but there you have it. And now it's up for an award. Not one of those crappy "here, let me give you a random stamp of my approval complete with a little blinking graphic even though you've never heard of me before" type awards, an actual award with actual judges! And voting! Oh, the pressure!

I can't decide whether I should be happy for the critical acclaim (does it count as critical acclaim if it's just a nomination?) or creeped out by the extra attention people will be paying to my sordid fan-girl past (does it count as the past if it's just a year ago?). Plus, the story's a teensy bit smutty. Scandalous!
