Question For My Lovelies...

So I noticed the other day that another community did awards, like fanfic awards, and best art awards, and stuff like that. It seemed like a great way to celebrate some of the amazing stuff that's posted on this community. I was just curious if there's something similar here, and if not, was it something people would be interested in?

EDIT: Maybe we could do like an epic bookmark thing instead? Everyone goes through favorite fics till we have like the biggest rec list ever from every category, including art. Then it's not a competition?

A non community category would be good- that way we can get some of the stuff from ff and Ao3 that didn't make its way here.

On the other hand, it could get political and icky, like I've seen some fandoms get (which is why I left fandom until I was lured back by y'all :P). But I'm pretty sure this bar would manage to do well.

That was exactly what I was thinking :) I always look forward to non-community recs, but I am a bit apprehensive about awards due to the reasons you just put forth.

I also think this bar would manage, but I am not really sure we need this :)

It would be a lot of fun if done right, as long as some thought is put into how to structure it (i.e. anonymous voting, only five or so categories so you don't feel bad one of your fics didn't get it, a general community award for being the bet bar... idk).

No doubt, if done right it would be really cool and fun :) So a good structure is key, absolutely agree with you there.

I'm worried about the political aspect too. Like it would be nice to make banners for people nominated, and stress that it'd just be for fun. Our bar is so awesome and there's some awesome stories out there. I'm curious what people think, and maybe some have ideas on how to keep it friendly?

tbh though, I've also seen a lot of fandoms where it does work. The Draco/Ginny fans of the HP fandom have been doing it for years and there was never any trouble and the same goes for the Castle fandom (which has problems elsewhere, mind) and it's always been fun and also sort of exciting and thrilling.

I think we would be cool about it. Everyone really gets along well.

Yup. Plus I don't think we're immature enough to get into catfights like a bunch of 14 year old Beliebers :P

Good point about the other fandoms that do it right. I guess if you model the thing after theirs it would work out alright. Especially considering how we're the best bar :P

I'LL DRINK TO THAT *lifts her pint*

Oh I know what you mean, about the ickiness .. (fandom, you can be a cruel mistress ...) but we are, in general, not a group that is prone to headless screaming matches or disagreements, so I do think it would be alright :)

[identity profile] daxcat79.livejournal.com 2013-01-13 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too, we are an awesome group, and I think it could be fun and exciting for the writers to see their works recognized!

You get the "it is funny but it really shouldn't be" icon for your effort xD

True again! The naughty girl in me is having a giggle ... the responsible adult is giving it a lecture on how to treat strangers and how to not objectify poor celebs xDDDDDDD

Anyways - LAST FUNNY ICON! Gawd, I have way too many intense icons ...
