2007 Fandom Awards
I guess it's about time for the old fandom awards group to go active again. This is the time of year we hash out who wants to volunteer for what, modify any rules or procedures, and discuss other related topics before nominations start in January (hopefully). Please see/monitor the Awards Group on Yahoo for more info and future updates. Thanks. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TCfandomawards/ P.S. For lack of a general tcats discussion forum (or I'm blind and didn't see it lol), I put this here. Feel free to trout slap me and move this if need be, azmom ;)

LOL, no need for trout slapping hun, and count me in on helping again this year. We should be completely moved in by the time it all starts.

*bump* Dropped in to let you all know that we're going to start the nomination period next weekend (Feb 9-10) starting with the Fan Fiction division. Azmom has turned in her eligibility list, so if you wanna head to the group early ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TCfandomawards/ ) and check it out, please do. I remind you that just because something is not on that list, doesn't mean it can't be nominated. Just make sure that something not listed is A ) eligible according to the rules (look them up - they're at the group) and B ) you leave us a link so that we can varify its eligibility. Otherwise, the nom will be disqualified. Or let us know ahead of time something was left off the list, and we'll amend the list. Works either way. There are lots of documents and posts that should help you figure out what's going on at the group. I will also be posting a quick reminder about the nomination process and etiquette closer to the weekend at the group. If you have any questions, please post them at the group, not here. Thanks. Nominations for fic will last about a week. From that past, that seems like adequate time for everyone who wants to participate to have their say. Too long, and the awards seem to drag and people lose interest along with the fact that we get nomination overload if it goes too long, defeating the purpose of narrowing the field - not to mention we're a bit behind schedule already ;) Fan Art and Fan Site divisions will be up for nominations in the near future, so as they say in this bizz, 'stay tuned' ;) Good luck to everyone with eligible work. And to those that have fan favorites, hope you show up to support the work you've enjoyed all year! Most of all, everyone - have fun! --Purrsia

Sounds good Purrsia. I'll keep bumping this thread so it doesn't stay in the background.

Ok ladies and gents, the fan fic nomination phase has just kicked in so it's time to make your voices heard! Just go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TCfandomawards/ and click on Database. There you can nominate your favorite old writer, new writer, fav story, or parody. It only takes a few minutes if you already know who you want to nominate. If you aren't sure which author you want to nominate or what story you like best, then you can check out the canidate list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TCfandomawards/files/. If none of these choices are to your liking and you want to nominate someone or something else, no problem! Just find the one you want, put up their name or story and include a link so that others can check it out. Make sure that it follows the guidelines though. Azmom and Purrsia will have the final say as to whether your choice meets this year's requirements. Also, the nomination phase ends Saturday Feburary 16th, 2008 at Midnight EST so get those nominations in!!! Good luck to all you nominees out there. :D

*Bump* Last day to make your nominations everyone!!! As it stands now in the Fan Fiction area looks like the Best Show Parody will be dropped because of nil nominations. It also looks like Most Improved Story and Most Improved Series will be dropped as well unless we can come up with one more nomination in each category. If you can, look around and see if you can find a story or series that can be entered there. I also have to say great job on all the nominations so far!
