Announcing the Oscar Nominees!

[kag523.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the fantastic participation yesterday on the nominations for the Fandom Oscars!  It’s clear from the list on nominations that fandom is alive and well.  (Writers... you should be composing your acceptance speeches!)

Today’s DPP again has two activities for you.  First, as official members of the Kara / Lee Academy you are required to cast your ballots for the best fiction from the last year.  You can find the anonymous poll here.  (In this case, you can vote only once for each category.  In the situation of a tie, I'll be calling a tie-breaker vote the morning of October 16th.)

Not sure about who to vote for... Most of the fics in the voting are listed at karaleefic,

 

VOTING CLOSED

Secondly, you’ll be seeing how well you know the current authors in fandom.  In the last month, I’ve lured a number of authors into submitting a brand new snippet of fiction for this activity.  I’ve broken them into categories, and I’m posting them in groups inspired by our Oscar week theme.  Read through these lovelies, and then discuss and argue amongst yourself... Who are these authors? How can you tell?  To use a triad term, what are the “tells” are there that let you identify the authors?  (You wouldn’t believe how I struggled to get rid of my “frakking elipses”... which are MY tell extraordinaire!)

Have fun shippers!

The answers to the Author Challenge will be revealed at 4:00 p.m. MST tonight!

Again, this is an awesome challenge and the manips are AMA-ZING.

*high five*

Next time around, I want a category for x-overs!!! Please include wisteria_ and innibis's Frakked Up Fairytales!
And for other categories I'd like to nominate brynnmck, leda13, rheanna27 (OMG "12" FTMFW!!!), shah_of_blah, bantha_fodder, and mintenergy. These are my favorite BSG fic writers.

SO MUCH FUN, OMG, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.

Damn, I've missed fic.
