All of these categories would be excellent additions to the 2nd Quarter Awards. The fanarts in the Others category don't get any recognition concerning the Awards.

mah! this is because we didn't know how to re-write the awards before hand, BUT, with some probing and trying out, we've got it down. So hopefully we'll see a few more art categories! maybe even some for fiction, or something else.

I'd like to see these are well as the one's up there ^^

Best Reviewer (my reasoning behind this one is not only to promote reviews but also b/c you all as authors KNOW that some of your reviewers not only make you think but make you exceedingly happy. I suppose a way for the author/artist to give back. This wouldn't be for the first review poster you have but the one that touches your heart repeatedly through the 3 months you have before the next vote.)
Best Dark Art
Best Romance Art

@_@ yeah thats all i'm getting right now to add to this thought.

Re:Awards New Categories 11 Years, 1 Month ago Karma: 16
Yes I am reviving a dead thread, sorry!


A new category for future awards: Best Supporting Character
The reason I suggest this, there are so many wonderful fanfics out there with a supporting character who just makes that story so much better; for example Hisoka from Unspoiled. The supporting character could also be a canon character; it wouldn't have to be just original character.

I agree 100% Kneaz is right about supporting characters making some stories, especially if the story is complex with a lot of depth, run smoother or add little spices of humor and the like. I sometime's find myself falling in love with those characters as much as I fall in love Sess/Kag all over again! Great stories come from great authors; and sometimes that supporting character is OC, and that comes from the mind of said great author. I think if I were to win, I would be greatly honored if my OC won Best Supporting Character. Of course wining in and of itself would be an honor, but I think it would be exciting and make the 'Voting' more fun if such a category were to be an option

Re:Awards New Categories 11 Years ago Karma: 17
Hmm... the ideas already stated are good. I love those ideas and hope they could be incorporated into future award seasons. I got a few of my own though.

1. Best Incomplete Fanfiction

Alright, so my basis for this is the simple fact that I believe winning this award or even being nominated for it could really inspire a person to write that next chapter. I know people say they write only to please themselves and for some of us, that's true. For a lot of us, that's only partly true. We normally crave the feedback we get from what we post and in turn, that makes us want for more of it. The way to get more? Write more. I know what's kept me going for almost a year now is the feedback and support I've gotten. Reviews are wonderfully motivating and so are just views (favorites and follows on FFN too) but getting nominated and even winning best incomplete would make me so happy I'd just want to write more, please more people, and in return, be pleased again which would start the loop all over.

2. Best Challenge/Contest Fanfiction

I know the prospect of winning at contest is always fun but there are sometimes I've felt that the best ones are ignored in favor of a specific person. Why do I feel this? Because on certain contest sites (these may or may not be the ones but I use them as examples: iyfic, the late dokuga-contest, iyissekia(sp?)) the same 3 or 4 people win week after week even though IMO, there are better ones. Kind of like giving the ones who weren't a part of the clique their proper rewards. This also may inspire more people to take up challenges as well. The chance that they can win an award just for writing in a challenge? I sure as heck would take up more of 'em.

I might get more ideas later on but for now, here you go.

What about an award for Betas?
Like best beta writer or something?
There are a ton of stories that just would NOT be the same without the awesome betas that help the authors.
I know it might be hard to tell if you don't see the before and after, but if you've read the author's work from different stories where they had a different beta or had no beta then you can usually see the difference.

The Betas certainly deserve the recognition for the input that they provide. And let's face it, I think that we've all come across the 'betaed' story that still has tons of spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. The betas should get an award for doing a good job.

Just my thought.
