Checking in on a break from work:
I will be going through the new submissions to the Spring Fling Awards from the last 24 hours that I did not get to and updating the Accepted Entries Page to reflect everything as soon as my work day ends. It looks to be a long one, so please do be patient with me.
There are still many spots open in graphics, general entries for title, character quote, character entrance, and playlist. Short Stories has a plethora of available entries as well, so if you are a writer with works under 7k, consider looking there. Fanfiction writers, there are two categories specifically for you as well; there is a little bit for everyone here, go and give it a glance and share it with others! Entries close the 6th of April!

@E_Walsh I hope everything's still going relatively smoothly for you regarding your contest, my love. <3 I'm still on the fence on whether or not I'm going to put anything forward for consideration. At the moment, my main obstacle is my writer's block, since I'll want to get more chapters of my current works posted before submitting any of 'em, let alone committing to participating in any awards. With all of that said, no matter what happens on my end of things, I look forward to seeing how this project, as well as your other works, unfold, & will, as always, be cheering you on. <33 Stay safe, stay hydrated, & keep that beautiful, tiara-adorned head of yours held high, my darling. <333 ~Forever & always, Lizzie-Love

Spring Fling Awards have been updated.
LOTS of Graphic entries still to fill! If you have an incredible cover, profile theme, an award book or graphic shop you've worked hard on that you would love to show off, please consider entering as I have categories just for you!
To those writers who put music at the forefront and have created playlists to further immerse your readers as they engage with your works? I also have a category just for you!
The gate for entry closes to enter April 6th, plenty of time yet, but please do browse and consider!

Hi, angel. Today's been another quiet, borderline ghost-town day over on my page, so I thought I'd stop by.
Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you & missing you. Wishing you & your mini-Avengers a sweet Monday, with a gorgeous week right around the bend. <3
~All my love, Lizzie
SunsetMercer
@E_Walsh That's amazing news on all counts, &, as always, I'll keep my eyes peeled for your lovely comment waves through the Bifrost!!! <333 I'm so glad you're getting the verbal recognition you deserve, & hope with all my heart that it continues to increase as time ticks forward! <3333 ~Forever yours, Lizzie-Love

@SunsetMercer Hello Love. I'm sorry today has been so quiet. I have just completed my work day a touch earlier than I thought and now that updates to everything surrounding the Spring Fling Awards are done for now, I have time to toddle over and continue on with my reading through of SB. So, you shall have some more lovely comment waves coming! Someone from the contest stumbled upon my Night Manager writing and the comment they left me gave me gooseflesh with their kindness. It was a much needed boost as this is a difficult week for me emotionally. Yet I shall forever be the horror that persists. Adore you as always, hoping to bring some rainbows and sunshine via the Bifrost back your way now, ~ Eve

E_Walsh
@LowkeyHiddleston Exciting! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you as that would be lovely!

Alright, I have managed to make my way through all notifications I can see. If I have missed anything not in relation to the Spring Fling Awards, I truly and deeply apologise!
Speaking of, there are so many openings especially for graphics, short story, fanfiction, and general entries. Please do share the Award, even if you are uninterested in participating, perhaps someone you know may be interested, perhaps a community page you love is looking to garner a bit more attention, someone else who runs beautifully designed awards needs to be boosted. There is still time for those considering it, working on something new, or updating current works. All are welcome and I look forward to seeing, hopefully, more entries come morning.
Good night, friends, have a wonderful rest of your weekend/start to your week!
E_Walsh
I swear I am combing through all of my notifications. It's been a proper Sunday here with errands, mum life, and cleaning. I also had a long rest that was much needed.
I am quick, I just ask everyone to be a touch patient as I try to sort things as there's been a few people who have submitted to literary categories when they should be in graphics, or for short story when they should be in general, etc., and I want to get you slotted correctly so everyone has the best chances and things remain fair. This is very likely my fault for not better labeling things or making it too complicated, so I'm taking it as a learning curve for next time.

@Dandan0_3 Thank you so much, Dani. I am truly trying. I think separating everything for my well organized brain may have been my downfall sadly... Hopefully things slowly adjust and I can figure out a way to assist others in figuring it all out. I'm learning alongside everyone. Your confidence and kind words help oodles however <3

@SunsetMercer Thank you Lizzie Love, I am still so very, very sorry that things took such a terrible turn for you. It breaks my heart for you after how much work went into everything. I do hope you will at least consider entering your graphics as they are beautiful and worthy of accolades in my humble opinion. If not, I respectfully understand. Just your support means the world to me and I will be here to hold your hand in the darkness until the sun shines as bright as your light does, sweetpea. Adore and treasure you always.

Well, after many hours, lots of tea, coffee, and my beloved energy drinks that are quite terrible for my liver, I have done it!
Thanks in great part to the encouragement from @VeraChendra, @MDjarin17, @SunsetMercer, and @Shadow_Empress001, I have created my first award:
The Spring Fling Awards.
It is now live and open for submissions. I hope you will consider entering and sharing it with your friends. This has been a labor of love and I look forward to seeing how this goes.

Happy Friday, Eve. Was just thinking about you, so I figured I'd pop over & check in. <33
I hope your award-crafting process hasn't given you too much grief. I have every confidence that it will turn out beautifully. <3
May your day & weekend be filled with endlessly enchanting writing & reading adventures. <3333
~All of my love, Lizzie
SunsetMercer
@E_Walsh I don't doubt it. Endeavors like contests--or any book, for that matter--can take a *LOT* out of us. I hope you're able to enjoy a good night's rest & a sweet-as-sugar, relaxation-filled end to the weekend tomorrow. <33 Super psyched to hear more from you on SB tomorrow!!! <333 ~Love you 3000, Lizz

@SunsetMercer Hello my darling, It has been a tiresome process yet I have just shared it! I hope it does well. I am nervous, yet chuffed. We shall see how it does. I think today is done mentally, but tomorrow I shall be sending you comment waves and writing creatively while I do laundry and enjoy a day to myself before returning to work Monday.
