A friend of mine is holding nominations over on LiveJournal for the International Fan Fiction Awards Society
You do need to have a LiveJournal account to nominate, but those are easy enough to get. I know we have a TON of writers on this blog and I’d love to see some of us nominated for this. Not the greatest prestige, I know, but here’s a chance to widen the fandom. (The lady who started this is mostly Torchwood oriented but she’s happy to see any and all fandoms and I think she can be easily convinced to watch the show.)
************************************************************************** Here’s her post:
If you’ve read a fanfiction recently, of any fandom, that you totally fell in love with, then why not nominate the writer for an award?
This is the first round of awards. In order to get winners, we need nominees. The winners will receive a banner/graphic declaring them an IFFAS winner which they can put onto their fanfiction post to show their readers.
All you have to do to nominate your favourite fanfic for an award is the following:
1) Reply to this post with the writer’s user name
2) The title of the fanfiction.
3) The fandom it belongs to.
4) The genre of the story, I.E) Angst, Fluff, Crack, Humour, Drabble, Hurt/Comfort, etc…
5) The link to the fanfiction.
6) The rating of the fanfiction, I.E) U, PG, PG13, ETC…
7) Pairing (If applicable), Gen?
Once we have the nominations in, polls for different catergories will be set up so people can vote fairly. A time limit will be set and the writer with the most votes at the end will be declared the winner.
This community is just starting out so we need all of you to do what you can to make this site amazing. A community relies on it’s members. We are currently ‘testing the water’ to see what works best and how many people like this idea. If you have any suggestions on how to improve this community then we’d love to hear from you.
So, all that said, what are you waiting for? Get nominating and show the writer’s that provide you with fanfiction, just how much you love their work. You can nominate as many pieces of fanfiction as you like. The more the merrier!
