| Yet another awards site is up and running - the TwiFic Awards. This one seems more...legit than some. I hope no one takes that the wrong way. From their website: - Quote :
- We live for Twilight fanfiction, and it's time we thanked the incredible authors who keep us entertained, addicted, and madly in love with fictional characters.
We know there are a lot of other awards out there, but frankly we weren't impressed with most of them. So we decided to do it the way we think it should be done: a site run by adults, simple yet all-emcompassing categories, a double voting round to give all nominated fics a chance, and a twice a year schedule to avoid overkill.
TwiFic awards will be handed out to only the most deserving fics in the fandom, and we hope you'll join us in our efforts. I personally am excited about it being run by adults and having broad categories. Speaking of, the categories are: - Quote :
- * Best Romance - If you don't know what this means, we can't help you.
* Best Suspense - Fic that keep you on the edge of your seat. * Best Comedy - Fic that you can't stop laughing about. * Best Angst - Fic that rips your heart out, 'cause we're masochists that way. * Best Alternate Ending - Fic that took the Twilight Saga down a different path. * Best All-Human - Ummm...no mythical creatures, okay? * Most Original Plot - Because we all wish we had ideas like this. * Best Use of Secondary Characters - Because it's not always about Bella. * Best Non-Canon Pairing - Jasper/Rose, Emmett/Bella, Mike/Embry, etc...wait...what? * Best One-Shot - Yeah, you already know what this means. * Best Kiss - Rated T/PG-13 or under. * Best Lemon - If you're under 18, a lemon is a fruit, got it? If you're over 18, though... * Best Slash - Male/Male or Female/Female pairings as the main theme. * Best Edward - Because you want him. * Best Bella - And you want to be her. * Best Jacob- And you want him, too ( Don't worry - We won't tell!) * Best Collaboration - Great minds think alike, and we love 'em for it! * Best Sequel - For the story that never ends. * Best Outtake/Companion Fic - The little extra we can't do without. * Best Challenge Fic - Fic written in response to a challenge. As well as four categories where the winners will be selected by the judges: - Quote :
- * Best Author
* Best Completed Fic * Best WIP * Best Undiscovered Talent Nominations are open until September 30, and I like how they're doing this - there will be two rounds. All nominations go up for voting in the first round. Then the top five in each category are selected, and a second round of voting determines the winner. Right now, JOotG is up for Best All-Human (?!) and Best Edward (aww...I <3 PW). More of the Guys is up for Best Outtake (blush), and Marked is up for Best One-Shot. I'm beside myself! I have not nominated yet...there are several categories with MoW names written aaaaaaall over them. | |

| Oh thanks, Kimber Yeah, I really like the feel of these...some of the others have seemed kind of squicky to me. Still deciding if I'm going to ask to be removed from the Moonlight ones... | |
