Uh, do we have any guidelines yet? As I recall, Dalton was trying to work out a fair way to apply the GSDAs...

"You will vote for Sheppard and his Unnamed Porno Fanfic or else"

WARNING: SHAMELESS PLUG AHEAD!!

In case nobody have noticed, I've now posted the 11th chapter of "The Wormhole War." However, I don't expect any nominations since the story probably won't be complete in this year.

Nope, but you know what? We can just sorta wing this thing...

A possible suggestion, however, would be for all authors to step forward and put down all the stories that have been updated this year, and then just choose from that... but I'm not sure if that'll work or not...

Actually that's not a bad idea. I can create a thread in Fanfics entitled "FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION" and the author can suggest certain categories that they believe their work is strongest in and the people will have an idea of whats out there, when the time for the nominations come, Dalton has only that thread to visit at least here in SD.Net land, to cull out the nominees.

Any thoughts?

SO do these new suggestions mean i can't nominte myself, thus preventing me from achieving what i did last year and get two nominations for one chapter? Damn!

Why? You simply post the title of your tale and where it can be found in FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION and thats that. The AUTHOR self promotes in that thread to draw attention to his work. You would not be limited in any way

hmmmm ... i'm going to have to finish of the second chapter quick if i want to stand a chance with nominations then.

*note to myself: stop being so damn lazy and write!*

Meh, I suppose I should post a few more chapters of something in order to maybe get some nominations... but otherwise... no.

*note to myself: stop being so damn lazy and write!*

Pretty much...

Are only fanfics being dealt with? How about original fic?

Also, I think Mike's use of characterizations of real people (ie, people on the board) in Reign of Terror is pretty good. Is there a category for that?

No, don't think there is...

Also, I'd like to submit a new catagory:

"The "WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION?!" award for most fucked-up fic."

And then I'd like to nominate myself with any of the following:

Infinite Fun
Craziness
or, the just posted Love

BTW - is it possible to nominate incomplete fics?

Starcrosed is incomplete and it was nominated and won.

Considering that its almost November, what do you guys think about starting a "For your Consideration" thread for fanfics that authors nominate, and if there are some categories that the author feels particualrly strong about they can put it there.

I can also create "The People's Choice" thread where fans nominate and suggest categories for different stories.

Then Dalton only has to look at those two threads when the time comes to choose the noiminees or however the process works.

Thoughts?

Yes Herr Sheppard!

I would suggest guaranteeing victory by getting those ideas we spoke about yesterday into place.

What about Deceiver for something?

Speaking of which *begins slaving away on a new chapter*...

3 Chapters left until it all ends!

If so, I nominate A Horrifying Tale Of Lt. Hit-Man On Vacation for "Goriest Fic" and "Most Spectacular Death".

As "Most Original Story", I nominate CaptainChewbacca's Scattered Earth: First Emperor.

However, the "Best Torture" nomination from me goes to "Whispers In The Fire" by Shinova.

BTW - even though I'd like to get some awards myself I'm not nominating any of my own fics. Firstly - I think that might be bad form, secondly - I'm not sure whether it's allowed, thirdly - I already rely on shameless plugs to make people read The Wormhole War, fourthly - I'm not sure whether my fics really are that good.

Crazedwraith · Post by **Crazedwraith** » 2003-10-25 06:58am

I nominate Simon H Johanson's The Wormhole War for most original story.

Simon, go over to the For your COnsideration thread and you can do all the self promotion you want, I created that thread for authors to brag about their works.
