Would "Победу одержала Я!" be a good translation for "Victory is mine!"?

(All these questions are for a creative writing assignment in Russian. I hate creative writing assignments in any language, but I am a bit of a perfectionist.)

Лучше "Победа за мной".

[platonicus.livejournal.com]

Я победила! (for female, of course)

[joliecanard.livejournal.com]

But that doesn't carry as much emphasis, it seems.

and WOW what fast responses!

[platonicus.livejournal.com]

Well, you may add 'Ура!', if you need more emphasis
Or write smth like "ПОБЕДААА!"

[platonicus.livejournal.com]

I mean, your translation is correct but "not Russian".
"Победа за мной" is better, but still too artificial

I would say "Моя взяла!"

[platonicus.livejournal.com]

Bravo!

"Я победила!" is much better.
"Победу одержала Я" is common for "it was hard but Победу одержала Я",
"she was first but Победу одержала Я", etc.

by the way, "я" in Russian is not capitalized.

[rqrmarine.livejournal.com]

sounds strange.
"Я одержала победу" would be better

[trepang.livejournal.com]

it would fit if you mean to emphasize 'mine', like Победу одержала я, а не ты.

If you mean the phrase by Stewie from “Family Guy” then definitely “Победа за мной!”
