I don't feel like putting A Prelude to War up for nomination until I'm finished with the goddamn thing.

CRayz Starcrossed won't likely be finished until after the awards and I'm still putting it up, the damn thing's over a year old. You should put Prelude up finished or not. If the GSDA's were limited to finished fics the field would be TINY.Crayz9000 wrote:I don't feel like putting A Prelude to War up for nomination until I'm finished with the goddamn thing.

Infinite Fun

Hrm, I don't think this is good. There should be a category "Best use of Denizens" or something, because I just think it's no good to have a denizen fic in this slotSingular Quartet wrote:Best Character Development - Pablo Sanchez: Suicide Squad

I was more considering character reactions in the last chapter, as there were very good ones. It sorta gave that "Catch-22" feel towards how well characters reacted in the end.Pablo Sanchez wrote:Hrm, I don't think this is good.

I've thought about it but I never really envisioned it broken out into books. The Twilight War on the other hand is broken down into books.Admiral_K wrote:Stravo, perhaps you should break down your monster Fic Starcrossed into different "books" so to speak.

The point of the For your consideration thread is for you to nominate yourself. You nominate other fics in the People's Choice thread. This is sort of a self promotion thread, like the DVD screeners sent out by the film studios marked "For your consideration" In effect you are telling people. hey check out my fic.Singular Quartet wrote:*cough*Singular Quartet wrote:That's mine, for now.

Hey, check out my Fic, Suicide Squad. A good proportion of people seemed to like it, even Dalton (tm), and he hates everything. It has some bitching ground combat, amusing black humor, confusing 'plots,' and if you are especially notable you might have appeared in it at some point.

That's the spirit, and if you think you're fic is strong in a particular category feel free to add that to your post.Pablo Sanchez wrote:Okay.Stravo wrote:The point of the For your consideration thread is for you to nominate yourself.

I know that. My problem is just readership; I can't put out chapters fast enough to keep most people's interest strong. So it'd probably be better if I worked on chapters at my own pace, got the book finished, and then released it gradually (leaving me the option of making slight modifications until it's all been posted).Stravo wrote:CRayz Starcrossed won't likely be finished until after the awards and I'm still putting it up, the damn thing's over a year old.

Considering the absolutely monster size of the fic as it is now (damn close to two megs), I've considered slicing it up into separate parts just for the sake of the readers (we wound up doing it with Domination).Stravo wrote:I've thought about it but I never really envisioned it broken out into books.

On the Galactic Emperors.
I would ask that those interested in reading an alternate history of the Vong invasion of the Star Wars galaxy from the perspective of a crossover with Star Trek take a look at the work entitled De Imperatoribus Galacticis, or "On the Galactic Emperors". I do not presume to request any sort of consideration for nomination in regard to rewards but merely to ask for feedback, which I have rarely received on the work, and which is generally the lifeblood of a fanfiction author. A nomination would be flattering but hardly requested.

I couldn't agree more with that statement. I recall writing and posting a peice, and getting none/zero/diddly/squat responses.

As that is probably the most eloquent publicity request I've ever read, I shall add it to the top of my reading list.The Duchess of Zeon wrote:I would ask that those interested in reading an alternate history of the Vong invasion of the Star Wars galaxy from the perspective of a crossover with Star Trek take a look at the work entitled De Imperatoribus Galacticis, or "On the Galactic Emperors".

Thank you kindly. The extant work excepting the current incomplete chapter I am working on (very slowly I confess) is available on the archive under my name.NecronLord wrote:
