RD Slash Awards 2009
Dear everyone,
We haven't done awards in this fandom since 2004. This is a Bad Thing, and is largely my fault due to the fact that I keep looking at the volume of fic each year and going WAH I don't want to try and categorise that.
Do people fancy doing awards? What I can do is collate a list of fics from each year, starting with 2009 and working back, and I can sort them by categories and then put up a shedload of polls. In the past we've only had very broad categories for fics (like, I think the most diverse we got was splitting them into 'short' and 'long' fics), but now that we have a much higher volume of fics than back in the early 2000s, I think some more categories are in order.
My ideas:
* Best Angst
* Best Hurt/Comfort
* Best Fluff
* Best New Author (for an author whose first fic is posted during whatever year we're polling)
* Best Smut
* Best Gestalt (for authors who write in pairs/teams)
What I would like from you lovely people:
* An indication as to whether this is even a good idea
* Category ideas
* Someone to volunteer to do banners, because I used to do them and they were utterly shite
* Any ideas or input you have as to how to best run this, as again, I haven't done this since 2004 and the fandom was much smaller then
Love you guys!
