Fanfiction of the year?
 
I know you do fanfiction of the month.

I thought maybe you can do a yearly award.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Gummy December 2nd, 2007 12:11 PM

The mods can barely keep up with choosing one fic a month. I doubt they would make a FF of the year.

Dogar The Brave December 2nd, 2007 12:12 PM

There isn't really a point - I mean, the ffotm are all in their own little section... Your idea is pointless.

Her idea is not pointless, your reply is.

We'd like to evaluate the activity within these sections before considering a FFotY, but it's still not a bad idea. The concept of a greater award given to yearly excellence is tasty.

Haruka of Hoenn December 2nd, 2007 12:26 PM

I think that would be a pretty good idea! Near the end of the year, all the members could cast a vote or something, and the fanfiction with the most votes will win.

Dogar The Brave December 2nd, 2007 12:27 PM

Oh, as in: just to be recognised and known, not to have their own little section for eleven months?

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

Astinus December 2nd, 2007 12:27 PM

Tasty, Oni?

Since activity has been boosted in this section, it's not a bad idea to keep this in the back of the mind to work out the kinks. I'm guessing that the fic would be chosen out of the FFotM from the entire year. And this might work since there are more fics to chose from for FFotM, which means more fics for FFotY.

But yeah, it takes some time for the mods to chose a FFotM even, so it's tough to chose a FFotY. But it could be done.

We don't even vote for FFotM (btw, how are those chosen anyway?). Also, people might just vote for their friends or the ever popular, "I'll vote for you if you vote for me".

Dogar The Brave December 2nd, 2007 12:30 PM

Well, yeah... That could very easily happy glajummy...

Just another obstacle...

TurtleKing December 2nd, 2007 12:33 PM

We don't vote for Fic of the month?

No, the moderator chooses.

Anyway, I don't know... I'm so-so on this idea. It would be great to have a fan fic of the year, yeah, but like Glajummy pointed out, there's the voting problems where people only vote for friend's fics or things like that. :P

Dogar The Brave December 2nd, 2007 12:35 PM

No...

There's a conspiracy that it's run by the government... (jk)

Hey! I just got an idea!

Let us vote for fic of the month!

But people would just vote for their friends. Or make multiple accounts to vote.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ December 2nd, 2007 12:40 PM

I'm sorry, but if it's anything like Sppf's FanFiction awards, it devolves into a popularity contest where whoever has the biggest fanbase gets the award. It should be up to the mods, or at most, a select panel of trusted, unbiased members.

Dogar The Brave December 2nd, 2007 12:40 PM

no... They wouldn't...

I hope...

No, we have too many friends here, and there could be a rule you can only vote for one.

Multiple accounts.

People would be desperate enough. Heh.

Haruka of Hoenn December 2nd, 2007 12:47 PM

Here's an idea: The members PM the mods in charge a list of the fanfictions they think deserve to win. Then, the mods can check out the nominated fic(s) and decide wether they qualify to win or not. That could be a good substitute for voing, and the mods still have the power to make the decision!

Dogar The Brave December 2nd, 2007 12:49 PM

No - there would be a bombard of PMs...

You create a thread:

FFotM

and let them cast one vote... If random new membres come from nowhere, I think we'll no that it's a fake account.

TurtleKing December 2nd, 2007 12:49 PM

Or we could just leave the system as it is and NOT have a FFOTY.

Eruption December 2nd, 2007 12:52 PM

Alot of replies here.

Taking all that into consideration, you could pick FFoty by comparing the FFotms.

Btw, Oni I'm male not female.

Maybe! That would narrow down the choices by a LOT too...

Never thought of that. Oh, we're all idiots lol.

FFoTM are all the best fics, not noob fics. So it would be much easier.

FFotM is chosen by the moderator of the section that feels that the fic in question stands out from the rest of the crowd.

I'm iffy on the voting as well. Seeing the drama that arises on other forums where voting is involved, I don't want to agree so whole-heartedly on something that has a bad track record.

Since I'm heading off to work, I'll have six hours to think about all this and talk it over with my trusted advisers. So I should have a more secure answer later tonight.

Dogar The Brave December 2nd, 2007 12:54 PM

Skii, not female? Get out!

Seriously though...

I say both ideas are brilliant, just bombard Hanako and Oni with PMs, eventually they'll have to give in, or else they face; davy jones locker!

Yup.

Also maybe if a fanfic wins in more than one month [If they can] they will automatically beat others.

Seriously, you lot think I'm female?
