I should google myself more often
Apr. 10th, 2013 12:41 amWe know I've been querying Skywatch, and tonight, just out of curiosity, I googled myself to see what an agent would see if they tried it. I have to put in the "K." in the middle because there's a model and a volley ball player named Lauren Moody who come up way more than I do if you just search "Lauren Moody." So, googled "Lauren K. Moody".
Most of it was ordinary and stuff I'd like an agent to see--this blog, reviews for SS25, The Girl She Truly Was on DSF, etc. Then I clicked the second page--I don't actually expect an agent to look at more than one page of Google results, but like I said, curiosity--and found this.
"THE GIRL SHE TRULY WAS" GOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE 2012 TIPTREE AWARD!
I had no idea. I mean, I do fairy tale gender messing with in that story, but I didn't know I'd gotten recommended! Results are in, didn't get nominated, etc, but seriously, I got recommended for an awesome award and didn't even know it. I'm on a website with 76 other works that did interesting things with gender in 2012.
Squee!
