What Is This Sorcery?

September is a glorious month for us Klaroline fans! Why? Because first, it's the month before October (Ha!) and as we all know, our favorite vampires, werewolves, hybrids, witches and humans (Hey Matt! Hi Jer!) will be returning on October 3. Yes fellow fangirls! The wait is almost over! And second, the 2013 Klaroline Awards is happening this month!

In line with this event, I am super happy to share that this story, The Bargaining has been nominated in… Wait for it… Not only one but two categories in this year's Klaroline Awards! Wow. The Bargaining is nominated for Best Debut Fiction and Best Romance Oneshot. Again, wow. So with all due respect… And love and rainbows and cupcakes and unicorns and candy sprinkles, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SORCERY?

Just the fact that people, Klaroline shippers like me, read this story is a huge thing for me already. Hell, when I received reviews the feeling is already out of this world. And of course, to be recognized by the Klaroline fandom is an absolute honor. But you guys, two categories? This is crazy! In a good way!

Whoever nominated this story, thank you. It means a lot to me that you appreciate this fan fiction so much – enough to nominate it. That's really sweet of you and I don't think I can thank you enough.

And I know I've written this months ago and I've sent the reviewers my thanks already but allow me to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to read my first (and hopefully not the last) story here in FFN. I value those follows, favorites and reviews as a writer. Your love and support means a lot to me.

Also, some of you are requesting for another chapter but as of this moment I really have no plans to continue. But, I'm not closing any doors for a continuation! It's just that my muse fled to New Orleans to make sure that although Klaus and Caroline are apart, She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Dignified-With-A-Surname is keeping her claws to herself, far from our precious Niklaus, and any other Original for that matter (cough… Elijah… cough). Although, I have my mind set on another oneshot. Haha! Yep. Without spoiling the story, the night of the season finale isn't the last time Klaus and Caroline saw each other… And nope. It's neither in Mystic Falls nor in New Orleans. The good news is I already have a title! The not-so-good news is, I don't know if I can put it in paper before October 3… I don't know when my muse will return but yes I already have a title. Haha! Is that progress already? It will be called The Fear You Won't Fall, inspired by Joshua Radin's song with the same title. I highly recommend that you guys listen to it. I can already see Klaus and Caroline dancing to that song.

Anyway, I won't be encouraging you to vote for this story because number one, it's against the rules and number two, I voted for the other stories too. What? I nominated those stories! Haha! But I am encouraging you to join the fun and vote for your favorites at klarolineawardsDOTtumblrDOTcom and be a part of this awesome experience. No worries Tumblr-less people like me, we're allowed to enter their fangtastic world. And please send those amazing people behind this some love. They deserve all the love in the world for giving us Klaroline feels and keeping us united, despite the hiatus and our OTP's status right now. I mean, you don't know what hardcore shipping truly means until ½ of your OTP gets shipped to another show, right? I feel you PLL fans. Is it the year of spin-offs or what?

If you have any questions or anything to tell me, you'll probably reach me faster on Twitter at JustMeJoycey. Shameless, I know. I think I'm a little red in the cheeks right now. But I have a valid reason! Although my FFN account is connected to my email, I rarely open it… I know, I know it's 2013. Exhibit A, I just read the Klaroline Awards message today. Exhibit B, it's lounging in my inbox since last Monday. And I just realized, exhibit C, I still haven't replied to that PM yet! But anyway, Twitter is a fun place to fangirl too. Shameless… Shameless…

Lastly, I apologize to you guys. You probably thought this is an update. So sorry but I can't resist the urge to share this happy news. Again, thank you everyone. Hopefully we'll be in touch again in another story. Will you guys wait for my next story? However long it takes? See what I did there? Sorry I just had to include that lovely line. Have an amazing month everyone!

Maraming Salamat! :))
