And at the end of the day it's not 'contemporary v/s fantasy' etc, it's writers v/s the rest of the world :P<br /><br />*Not that we were <i>hating</i> on contemporary before or anything, just that we're starting to acknowledge the importance of them in the writing industry too :)Meghanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-30097810262098513482012-04-16T07:36:15.521-07:002012-04-16T07:36:15.521-07:00I think it was really amazing of you to apologise ...I think it was really amazing of you to apologise like this :) Also, I don't think you realised this, but a lot of people who voted for you in the award would have voted for you anyway -- it's not like you stole fans from other authors for yourself or anything! And a lot of us didn't know about this award, so it's better to vote for someone rather than no one.<br /><br />It shows you're a true role model the way you've apologised :) Anyway, all's well that ends well! I realise that the award hasn't ended, but cancelling out the prizes is better than having won and THEN realising what you've done, right? Don't worry about it, you've done the right thing, it's fine :)Meghanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-15512633599851485512012-04-16T06:38:49.493-07:002012-04-16T06:38:49.493-07:00Great post Zoe, well said.Great post Zoe, well said.Keren Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121027210783177857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-7648037443505721042012-04-16T06:30:00.792-07:002012-04-16T06:30:00.792-07:00Bless you, Zoe.

I don't comment much but I come here regularly, and your posts are always so thoughtful and progressive. <br /><br />I'd already assumed there was nothing but honest enthusiasm behind it all (and an entirely valid response to the narrow-minded sparkly branding of Queen of Teen!) - but thank you so much for writing this. We are all on the same side (readers like lots of different things and that's awesome, hooray!) and it's great to have that all laid out in such an entirely classy fashion. <br /><br />(From one of those contemporary girlybooks-with-pink-covers authors - who thinks swords and ass-kicking are brilliant too :D)Susie Dayhttp://www.susieday.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-47455035131184928512012-04-16T02:08:00.986-07:002012-04-16T02:08:00.986-07:00You have the courage of a fantasy heroine!You have the courage of a fantasy heroine!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186725193473313269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-57895240348382286282012-04-16T01:31:58.816-07:002012-04-16T01:31:58.816-07:00You are forgiven :) and I think it is very brave t...You are forgiven :) and I think it is very brave to write a blog post like this. <br />We have all done things like that and many times we haven't admitted it.
