SunnyD Round 17 -WINNERS IN!!

Postby masterjendu » Tue Apr 15, 2008 10:08 pm

It would seem that there are still a few Buffy fanfic awards sites up and running, however it would also seem that they have become the domain of the Spuffy peeps! I believe it is time for The Kittens to represent! I also believe that many of our Kittens deserve recognition; the fiction on Pens generally far outstrips that of other fanfic sites. So if you find an awards site, please nominate a few kitties and then let us know.

There are currently 4 kittens nominated for Round 14 of the Sunnydale Memorial Awards, so get on over and vote!
You'll find the kittens in the following categories:
Best Author
Best New Author
Best AU
Best Characterisation
Best Comedy
Best Drama
Best Fluff
Best Plot
Best Unfinished
Voting runs until May 13. Winners announced on May 23.

Thanks, eh!
Jen

Oh, I agree with Rachel that this is an excellent idea !

Unfortunately, I find that I cannot vote unless I manage to read some of the stories concerned. There are quite a few I have missed.Even then, all the best for the Kittens who got nominated. The fan fictions over here are indeed of a high standard.

Thanks Rach and Nimloth for supporting this idea. Nimloth, you need to get your white blossomed self reading away!

And jeepers; if all 130 people who have viewed this have also voted, Spuffy down, I say! Spuffy down!!!



non-vague disclaimer (everybody's friend): this is in no way a campaign against the Spuffers, I'm just a-playin!

Now, I've always been a little fuzzy about the Sunnydale Memorial Awards, namely how often we can vote(once a round, ok, but when do the rounds start?). Do the awards only happen once a year? Etc;

I've already sent my cache of votes in, but keep 'em coming! let's swing this vote

Re: NEW Fanfic Awards-you can NOMINATE your faves

Postby masterjendu » Sun May 18, 2008 12:12 pm

Okey dokey, with the SunnyD awards behind us (winners should be announced next Friday, May 23), I draw your attention to a new fanfic competition: the Shades of Grey Awards.

The wicked thing is that they are still in the nomination stage so you can be a part of the action and nominate whichever kittens you want until June 16.

These guys seem like they are pretty sticky with their rules and you're gonna need the e-mail address of the Kitten you are nominating. In addition to fanfic categories, there is one for fan art, so be sure to check out Magic in Two and pick your favourite artist.

Now, get over there and do some nominating!

Thanks,
Jen

As complicated as it is presented on the website...I think that this is a really good idea and seems much more ethically based. Thank you for notifying us masterjendu. On with the nominations!

Yessa! I was super flippin' proud of our fellow writers, who, quite honestly, feel like some lovely little extended family to me. And their stories, which are way fantastical, take me to far away places, or, in taraslove case, gosh... the land down under. Congrats to you fine ladies!

And a very humble thanks for my nominations and wins. I seriously can not express to you what it means that enough people thought my Willowisms were straight on. She comes from the heart, so... This is the best thing since my geek-factor-set-to-high Science award in 9th grade. :) "You like me! You really, really..."

Re: Last days to nominate at Shades of Grey

Postby masterjendu » Fri Jun 13, 2008 10:14 am

Hiya peeps!

Just a quick reminder that June 15 is your last day to nominate at the Shades of Grey Awards.

For some reason, the site doesn't seem to be updating the nominations (at least not that I can see), but don't let that deter you!

Voting begins June 16.

Thanks again,
Jen

There's nothing going on over there. Clicking on vote just brings up a page saying voting begins 16th June, but there's nothing or no-one to vote for.

Shame, I was hoping for another bucketful of awards for the kittens, cos in previous rounds fic's about our favourite girls are few and far between.

Maybe we scared them off

I think it is very possible that we've scared them off!

I sent an e-mail to the site admin, but have yet to hear a reply.

I was thinking about getting everyone to send me their nominations and we could vote in-house, but I'm not sure if or how that would fly...

Funny, I was thinking along the same lines in terms of an in-house scheme.

Why don't you start a poll to see if there is interest/opposition to an in-house kitten fanfic award type thingy, but with a better name than that obviously :)

You could also use the polls threads for the various catagories once you have the nominations.

The only drawback there would be people voting more than once though, so pm is probably the best option.

I think it's definately worth considering if the mods have no objections, and if you need a co-pilot give me a shout.

Please send me your Shades of Grey nominations!!!

Postby masterjendu » Sun Jul 27, 2008 11:57 am

Greetings and salutations again, folks.

I have no interest in introducing a competitive edge to the KB cuz I enjoy the love fest we've got going on. However, I was hoping to make public the nominations everyone spent time sending in to the Shades of Grey Awards (which really do seem to be defunct). This is basically because I thought it would be nice for those nominated to know that they have been.

I thought about two options:
1. everyone posts willy nilly
2. PM them to me and I will give them some semblance of organisation

Organsation is cool, so I'm going with option 2!
1. Please send me a PM containing which creative work/kitten you nominated and for which category(ies).
2. Please do so by Sunday, Aug 24 (whenever that is in whichever time zone you happen to be).
3. I suppose that since there is no way of knowing for certain what was nominated, if you really meant to nominate and never got around to it, now is your chance to make up for it! But please stick to the categories included in Shades of Grey (and don't forget about the lovely fanart categories).
4. Remember that no winners will be chosen, this is just so nominees can be made known (as they would have been on SoG). I have contacted the mods and ensured them that this will not become a vote.

Thank you again.
Jen

P.S. If anyone has any objection to any of this, feel free to PM me.


___
P.P.S. I case anyone was wondering, this didn't really take off. : )

'Tis time for Round Sixteen of the SunnyD Fanfic Awards. So get on over and nominate your favourite Kitten until November 15. A few Kittens have already been nominated, but there is always room for more.
