Awards!

[identity profile] indybaggins.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] wl_fanfiction

Originally, this was an idea by [livejournal.com profile] clayangel, [livejournal.com profile] kalimyre and myself. We got as far as picking the categories, but nothing ever came from it. Now however, [livejournal.com profile] makingamochrie poked me in to doing this, so, with much glee and pride we present:

The Whose Line Fanfiction Awards!


A couple rules:

-The nominating will be limited to fics that were at one time posted in this community. I realize there are many wonderful fics over at Clay's archive, the old archive, the Yahoo group and people's personal journals, but please stick to this community.
-Works-in-progress, never finished fics, drabbles, songfics, fics where the author is no longer active... If it was posted here somewhere between the start of this community and this post, you can nominate it.
-You can nominate a fic for multiple awards, but only one fic per award. You don't have to fill out the entire form, but I would encourage you to because if we don't get enough nominations that particular award will be lost.
-To keep this all fair, you are not allowed to nominate or vote for your own work. The voting will be through a poll, so everyone can see the results.

[livejournal.com profile] anesthesiagirl will be making lists of the fics to help you guys choose, so I'm extending the nominating period until the 5th. Please nominate!



-Fill out this form below and send it to me (Indy) at strawberry_white@hotmail.com before 2007(an easy deadline this time lol).
-I'll reply to tell you I received it
-On the evening of the 1st, I will post a poll with the nominations. We can all vote.
-On the 5th the voting closes and the official winners will be announced.

One question: For the AU category, does no wives count as an AU?

I can't believe I'm asking this question ;)

Do we need someone to make graphics for this?

I would love to do it, yes. ^_^ Would that be okay? If other people wanted to do it, I wouldn't mind backing off, but I love making banners and things.

Cool. ^_^ Do you want me to give them to you when I'm done so you can post them along with the winners? And do you have a specifc size you think I should make them, or should I just use my own judgement?

This is interesting, I love the names of the categories!
Yay! An excuse to read fic!
This looks like fun, despite me being horribly indecisive, I think I'll do this..^-^

Um...I didn't exactly poke you, Indy. I just did you the courtesy of asking you first since it was your idea, and saying that if you didn't have the time or desire to do it, I would. Hardly a poke, I don't think. *g*

I'm glad to see it.

Not either, really. I didn't know that you had already talked about it. It had popped independently in my mind and I asked Clay what she thought about it. She was the one who told me it had been discussed already and that you'd put in alot of work into the categories, so I asked you as a courtesy since it was your idea first. I don't like stealing other people's ideas, even inadvertently. I think it's a really good idea, however, no matter who thought of it, and I'm looking forward to the nominations, voting and awards.

so....

so i'm thinking (and maybe volunteering since i'm on vacation) that it'd be awfully convenient for someone to make a list of the fics that are eligible in each catagory. it sounds like a big project, but hopefully reading summaries would be enough to make it possible. would this help people?

am i insane?

my plan is to go through and make a spread sheet with title, author, pairing, summary, type (one-shot, series,etc), and date posted. that way anyone who wants to go back and look something up can find the actual date on the calendar function. i've been slightly twarted by my parent's refusal to join the remainder of the planet and use microsoft office, but i'm determined to make this work.

might need to extend the voting period slightly though......

Ooooh, I LOVE this! I can't wait to start working on my list of nominees. What a great idea!

And anesthesiagirl, if you're volunteering, I think that would be a great idea and VERY helpful.

list of fics

alright, if i'm gonna do this (uh, i've already started) i have to make a cut off. i am not adding any fics that were added AFTER i started the list (i think that means one or two secret santa fics are on the list). it is everyone's responsibility to read those themselves.

this is one hell of a task.....so i'll get it done as quickly as i can, but i still want to enjoy my vacation as well!

Thank you for taking this on!!! It will be an enormous help. ***hugs anesthesiagirl*** And enjoy your vacation!

OK, here's a question. Is there a way to search for a particular fic in the community archives? There's one that immediately popped into my head as deserving of a nomination, but I realized I don't know if it was ever posted here... I originally read it in Clay's archive. I haven't been through the whole archives here, but I don't think I've seen it while going through the stories day by day, which I started doing a while back. I've only gotten through about the first year though. Anyway I can search on the story title and find out if it's here?
