Hehe, that's where I'm a bit short. The closest thing i have to it are the revelations about Supreme Potentate Zxavor in my fic The Wormhole War. (As well as A.C. Söderberg turning paranoid from an encounter with a Nightgaunt in The Midnight Abomination)
Best Ending
Well, when The Wormhole War is finished I promise that its ending will be quite a surprise but I'm afraid it'll take months, if not years, before it's finished...
Best Space Battle
I nominate the 6th and 7th chapters of TWW, which cover the First Battle Over Avarnam.
Most Original Story
Again, I nominate my own TWW.


BTW - what about a category for "Best Cthulhu Mythos Fic"??? That way, I can also get a GSDA for The Midnight Abomination.

Update- a new chapter of the fabulously brilliant Deceiver is available.

Please read it, and keep it in mind for any one of these (or other) categories.

Best Character Development - Lotor (just what the fuck is he up to)
Best Ending (upcoming)
Best Space Battle - Any one of them
Most Creative Tactic - Ambush on the ISD
Best Use of Star Wars - Its a pure SW fic with meticulous attention to detail
Most Original Character - They aren't cardboard cut-out Imperial Officers
Most Original Story - Hopefully you think it is.
Most Spectacular Death - The "ensign" or a rather special upcoming one.
Overall Best Fanfic - Pleeeeease?

There have, IIRC, been only two or three Lovecraft stories posted to this board... Yours, and I think Shep posted "The Ship"

Write a new chapter for this year's contest, and I'll consider it.

Fanfic considered, and rejected for the positions of Best Character Development, Best Duel, Best Romance, Goriest Fanfic, Highest Body Count, Most Spectacular Death, and Overall Best Fanfic

EDIT:

Almost forgot, I would like to recommend the, now dead, Original O-fic (mk 3) for Best Title, namely Major Diaherria's (from SBC) own suggestion "Elephants in the Jungle"

This may or may not be serious. I'm not sure.

You mean the WH40K vs ST fic? I left that on my PC back home, but i could get it emailed up if people want me to do that one instead. I pretty much stopped that because i knew where i wanted to go it was just getting there that was the problem. I also saw (IMO) more potential in HPaTMFCO.

In HPaTMFCO i've just hit a bit where i know where i want to go and what to happen, it's just putting it down in words that's troubling me right now.

Ladies and Gentlemen, for your consideration I draw your attention to the following works of which I am proud of:

Starcrossed. This work has won many of the awards last year thus making it inelligable to win again however there are two categories that it did not win last year which I feel this story is strong in:

Best Title
Best Romance

The Twilight War: Book One: Wardrums. Please consider this work in all categories and read about the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker, the Fall of the Republic, the Rise of the Empire, the United Federation of Planets torn apart by a temporal Civil War where history will never be the same again as legends from the past make war on legends from the future. Watch the Jedi order as it slowly realizes the awful trap in which they have fallen and a war that will bring an age of twilight to two galaxies.


Animatrix: Cain and Abel - Everything that has a beginning has an end. Watch the end of the Matrix as machines make war on machines and a mystery from the distant past of the Matrix slowly awakens as a Murderous AI god invades the artifical reality that has trapped humanity. Can Neo save Zion? Can the One defeat a God? Will the last hope of humanity be born in fire or die in darkness?

Transfomers: Judgement of Steel - An alternate history on the events leading up to the Great War that tears Cybertron apart and brings the transforming sentient machines to the brink of extinction.

Split Infinity - A Comic fanfic dealing with the union of two universes and the greater threat on the horizon that will require the greatest heroes of two universes to defeat.


Thank you and good luck to all the wonderful authors who derive their joy from entertaining others.
Wherever you go, there you are.

I'll take the opportunity to note that a small project of mine called Domination has been updated by a couple of chapters now. Seeing as it's won 4 GSDAs before, I suppose I should nominate it for...

Best Ending - even though it's not finished yet.
Best Ground Combat - there's only been one ground combat scene.
Best Space Battle - Yeah, loads of them.
Best Duel - If by best you mean 'most fucked up' then yeah, definately.
Best Romance - Almost beat Chuck for this one year. Need I say more?
Most Creative Tactic - Errrr, f knows
Best use of Technobabble - Damn straight, I use it to superb comic effect
Best Torture - 50 chapters of torturing Timmy. Need I say more?
Funniest Death - There are so many...
Highest Body Count - It literally ranges towards the infinite
Most Humorous Fanfic - Well... Yeah.

Did I ever mentioned I love you guys?

I also have the power to kill your families if you don't vote for me.

Most humbly, I call your attension to The Rise of the Empire written about six months ago and around page 4 of the fanfic forum. It will give the reader a preview of the last battle of Episode III.

In the story, you will see the best space battle and the best ground battle ever. :wink:
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
