Golden Stardestroyer Fanfic Awards

Chris O'Farrell just reminded me about the GSDAs.
The ASVS crowd will be familiar with this. For the rest of you, I will explain.
I will begin the nomination process in mid-November.
This is an incentive for all you authors to put out as many chapters as possible, and fast!
There will also be new rules regarding eligibility. For instance, any winners from the previous two years will probably be ineligible.
Stravo, I expect you to win a few awards
The Golden Stardestroyer Fanfic Awards are, well, awards for fanfics. Because of the close relationship between ASVS and SD.net, fanfics posted here will be included in the nomination process. There are a number of categories.
More info here:

Get those fics out! Win fame, glory and the adoration of your peers! Have sex with beautiful women!
Winners get nice shiny pictures. Good luck! Expect nominations to begin in November; I will post an announcement when they begin.

The thought of lots of sex with beautiful women has swayed me into hurrying up my fic

OK, based on lengthy deliberations with Chuck (GSDA Assistant on ASVS), we have decided that only fanfics that have had new chapters posted since January 1st will be eligible for nomination. And this is only real additions to the story; we will not accept crap chapters churned out just to make a story eligible.
Consider this incentive to finish old stories!
I will begin accepting nominations November 17th.

What do you wish to submit? If a nomination, wait until the relevant date and I will announce information. If a fanfic, email me.

Is it only SW vs ST fanfics that get in or is it any fanfic that involves SW or ST in someway? Or any fanfic at all?

Crossovers only for all categories, save one I've been considering. More info as it develops.

I LOVE this Golden Stardestroyer award thing...Dalton is so awesome for even having a thing like the archives...I actually got my first fan email (not directly linked to SD Net) thanks to those archives. It's a good feeling knowing that you're entertaining people with ideas from your own head....Thanks Dalton for giving a rookie a shot.

Only too happy to help, Stravo! I'm glad your fanfic has such wide appeal, as it certainly deserves it. I'm off to read the latest chapter, in fact.

DUDE! Rock on!!
BTW, FWIW, someone mentioned that Kern didn't know anymore that Worf was his brother. However, Worf and Martok know that he is, so I don't see that big of a continuity error.

Why? IIC, the only awards to that category would be Best Use of ST/SW.

No, I meant a new category like "best original story" or "best OT story"

No. I meant why consider ONLY crossovers?

It's the alt.startrek.vs.starwars fanfic archive, silly.
[EDIT] Though for the Best Use of SW/ST categories I will probably allow "pure" fics.

Can you do something for best song? Why limit yourself to fanfiction?
Chuck and Myself have the most songs in the archive, so it'd be 50-50.

What kind of fics will be considered? SW vs ST? Sw vs. Other? or what?
And when do the nominations start each year? I won't be able to make it this time round, though.

Most of the categories will be SW vs ST. That is, after all, the point of the awards. Nomination start date is mentioned earlier in this thread.
