Yes, something else I've been toying with doing...

[whiskyinmind]

There are so many fantastic Faith-centric fics out there that I don't see getting all that much recognition so...

[Poll #1417588]

A reassurance - I already run two awards sites, I already have the coding, it reeally isn't that much extra work for me. Also? I kinda thrive on what little stress in involved.

eta dammit! I knew there was a question I missed on the poll and you can't edit LJ polls so in comments please:

Should it be judged or public vote?

replying to my own post may seem strange, but on the other hand, this is me we're talking about here!

My preference would be to have it popular choice, although there is slightly more... credence? if it were to be judged.

I'd say perhaps the option of judged and popular opinion? Two classes of awards? (Like BOTB at AVA)

I have no experience of judging fic so I wouldn't know how feasable that would be.

Plus ticky box my favourite Faith quote 'Just like riding a Biker!!' (Private gag that you may appreciate)

I'm just dipping my toes into Faith fanfiction - so I'll be happy with any option as long as it gives me a chance to find interesting fics to read.

Not being a Faith person, I'm really not qualified to opine, though I do think it's probably a fine idea.

Judged is always better than public votes, but that's just my own opinion, sweetie.

Could there be two rounds to it- everyone nominates, public vote for top 5, judges choose from that shortlist?

I agree that it should be some sort of combo of judging and pop vote, because they're both nice to have. There's Snowy's AoL method, where everything gets judged and voted on, there's Snowy's KGA method of mostly judging and then voting on one's that got multiple noms for a Voter's Choice category, there's the method of voting and then judging the top ones, or judging and then voting amongst the winners...

Personally, I'd go for a method that involves more judging than voting, because so much of the time with voting it's just scanning the list and seeing what names you recognize, and then voting for your favorite authors without reading the rest of the fics. But pop vote is good to have so there's input.

Also? If you do have judging, I'm a whore for judging, so like PM me or something if that happens.
