#fanwork awards

[mirandyevents]

Last Year's Fanwork Awards are officially over!

All works have been bookmarked to the Ao3 collection, and hopefully all available winners have been reblogged on tumblr as well - if your post of a winning work hasn't been reblogged yet, let us know!

We had over two hundred nominated fanfiction in 30 categories with 47 winning works in first place (some having the same amount of votes makes it more than the amount of categories), an additional thirty first-place winners in the art, gif and video categories, and over 70 different winning creatives in the first through third places of all the categories! Congrats, everybody!

All nominated and winning fanfiction can be found in the bookmark section of the Ao3 collection linked below:

You can filter it for winners and nominations, and for the different categories (if you can't find the category you are looking for in the suggested bookmarker's tags, go to 'exclude tag' and exclude the category tags with more works, click filter again and it should suggest you new bookmarker's tags now - be careful to only exclude the category tags like 'AU' and not 'winners' 'nominees' and the first-third places, as that would exclude all fics)

It looks like the fandom's favourite tags are:

The visual works can be found in the web archive of this tumblr under the 'award winner' tag, or on mobile by just searching this blog for 'award winner'.

We hope everyone had fun in this event meant to show appreciation for the fandom's creatives, find new favorites and rediscover old fics, and get some inspiration going! Most events are for creator participants only, we thought it would be great to get everyone involved in nominating and voting for their favourite works. Of course there are other great works as well - the winners just happen to be the favs of the people who voted!

If you want to stay active in the TDWP Femslash fandom, the next event is organized by @sapphicwritingprompts, a valentine's ficathon with different prompts you can sign up for. If you aren't a writer yourself but a reader, check out the new works published for the Mirandy Secret Ice Queen Exchange and maybe show your love by leaving some comments!

And of course, feel free to reblog the winning works on here to keep sharing them around :)

It has been an exciting few months, and we hope you all had fun and perhaps found new favourite artists or inspiration to create!

We thank everyone who helped mod, nominated works and voted in the awards, without you this wouldn't have been possible!

Feel free to go through the winning works and reblog them if you haven't yet (or also if you have, there can never be too many reblogs)! You can filter this blog for art, fic, gifs, moodboards, nsfw, other and the art categories Andy, Nile, Quỳnh, angst, fluff, scenery, clothing and art style.

Congratulations again to the winners, and if you have your works cross-posted to Ao3, feel free to add them to the winner's collection!

The reverse also goes if your fic is in the Ao3 collection and you have it cross-posted or linked on tumblr, just @ us on the post/in a reblog and we will share it here!

Send us an ask if you have any questions or want to join the Femslash Guard Discord Server!

Replies only, reblog additions don't count as notes from several side-blogs could skew with the results!

You can vote for several works per category, just don't vote for every single one as that has the same effect as not voting at all!

You don't need to feel bad for not voting for a work (or for your work not winning), all the nominations are wonderful, now it's just about which ones are your personal favs!

#and the award for my favourite dynamic in hellsing goes toooooooo.... #walter c dornez #alucard #hellsing #my art #fanwork #2023 #i made myself believe walter rolls his sleeves up and after i finished the lineart i looked at refs again and was like oh.

[daisies-on-a-cup]

tiktok authors being like "i work soooo hard, i've been writing this book for like 3-4 months now! authors work hard and you should never ever rate a book less than 3 stars bc we work so hard!!!"

pls go on this webbed site or ao3. some of these people have been writing one (1) work for YEARS. yeah quality can vary, but so can your books... you do not deserve an award just bc you put some effort into whatever it is you're writing, that's the bare minimum for any published piece of work...

#im not equating fanfic with legit published books btw #there are some publishing-ready fanfic works out there but def not a majority of them #books that get professionally published and sell well are often those written by people who have an educational background in literature or #whatever and a professional editor to help them #the ppl writing and publishing fanworks are often just hobbyists who dont have a background in writing #but ppl on booktok believe that just bc they like to write it means that their work is equivalent to those who do have a background in #writing and its just not true. you can literally SEE the difference in their booktok writing and actual award winning novels #living in a terrible age where i am so so happy people are getting more into reading and writing #but hating it too bc its turning into a consumerism thing again #they are trying to social media books and thats not what they are for!!! #booktok

me, constantly tagging my fics "fluff"

readers, constantly tagging my fics with "not really fluff, though," "kinda sad, actually," "incredibly angsty," etc.

guys, I'm sorry I'm such a sad bitch. it really is accidental.

#fandom #fic authors #lol #i swear it's not bait #like i am so sorry i really thought i was writing fluff #apparently i do not know what that is #in case you're wondering- yes i do check what people tag my fics in their bookmarks #tbt to that time i wrote what i thought was a fluff fic and someone nominated me for a fanworks awards under “best angst” #-laughs in 'your mental health issues are showing'- #td #personal

A Message from the Hogan’s Heroes Forums on FFN:

It's that time of year again! 2023 will be here in just 35 days. The Papa Bear Awards Committee is getting ready to help this community of readers, writers, artists, and fans to recognize excellence in Hogan's Heroes fanworks completed during 2022. (Fanworks is an umbrella category that includes fanfiction and multimedia, such as art, memes, videos, and podfics.)

The PBAs are an annual, volunteer-led celebration built upon the engagement and participation of writers, readers, and fans. To help things get started:

Finish up those stories and multimedia works you've been plugging away at by December 31, 2022.

Please check over your works to see if everything that IS complete has been MARKED complete.

For fanfiction only: Please use your summary to note if the story is in response to a challenge, should be marked as slash, or is based on an episode.

We will be updating the fandom with reminders and more information as we get closer to the start of the nominating process.

AND NOW A WORD FROM Tuttle-4077:

What does that mean for you fine folks on Tumblr? To take some of the burden off the committee (we’re all volunteers and TBH last year kind of wiped me out a little), we’re asking anyone who is not posting on FFN to send us their own works as opposed to us scouring the internet for them. So, if you have stories that you haven’t posted on FFN, please let me know where to find them and if you would like them to participate in the event. For you artists, meme-makers and GIF(...ers?) if you have works that you’ve completed this year (or are going to complete this year), please send those along to me too. Somehow... I’m still not that familiar with how tumblr works, but I’m sure you are, so I’ll trust you to point them out to me.

If you have questions, feel free to reach out to me here on Tumblr or to the committee on the FFN forums here.

Replaying Dragon Quest XI... Writing a Luminerik fic as I go... Might fuck around and actually post it because I am so, SO happy with it in a way that might let me overcome my residual fear of posting fics

#y'all don't bully people for their fics #it's been like eight years since i stopped posting fics bc people wanted to harass a teenager about having the wrong headcanons #i am a full ass adult who writes for a living and has won awards and sharing my fanwork STILL terrifies me #am writing as i progress in the game #roomie gets first dibs bc they got me into the game years ago #cosplayed these dumbies with me #and are my dq friend #but maybe after 👀

Fancast Spotlight!

Cora Buhlert recently put out a call for interview subjects for her fanwork spotlight series, and I had the privilege of getting a spot to talk about this very show!

Welcome to Corroded Coffin Fest!

This is a fanworks challenge/event that is all about Corroded Coffin. It will take place from July 1st thru July 31st.

Thanks so much for showing interest in this event during this post! If you have friends that you think would like to participate, please considering reblogging this announcement!

The calendar of prompts is located here:

Since there are so many events going on (and we love to see it!) we've decided to set a word count range for this event, so the love can be spread around to more events.

GUIDELINES:

Ideas for works include: fic, art, gifsets, fanvids, moodboards, edits, playlists, or anything else you can think of to celebrate Corroded Coffin!

For fics, there is a word count minimum/maximum of between 300-1000 words per drabble. We'll use wordcounter.net to check the word counts before reblogging, so make sure you stick to that range!

Do one prompt, do them all. Hell, do them all twice! It's totally up to you. You can pick and choose what you're interested in. And we're not going to police how you interpret the prompt. Just use them as a jumping off point to be inspired by the boys of Corroded Coffin, and then share that inspiration with us! (Not everything has to be band related, we encourage you to explore other parts of their lives, too!)

Submissions can absolutely be connected to other prompts from the event, or even past works, but should still be able to stand alone each day.

Every morning a new prompt card will go up, reminding everyone of what that day's prompt will be.

All submissions should include any pairings featured, content rating and any content warnings (CW) or tags that you think are appropriate. Please put the prompt you are fulfilling as well, just to keep things straightforward. A sample could look something like this:

Prompt Day 9: The Hideout, Word Count: 666, Rating: M, Pairing: None, CW: Underage Drinking, Recreational Drug Use, Tags: Corroded Coffin, First Gig, Partying, Eddie, Gareth, Jeff, Freak, The Hideout

Also, please consider putting any explicit material under a read more cut, because anything rated E that's not hidden under a cut will not be reblogged.

For the artists! Your art submission must be posted on the same day as the current prompt in order to be reblogged by this blog. Your piece of art (or other creation) must be Corroded Coffin focused, using any combination of the guys, together or solo. Of course, other characters can be included, too! But you need to have at least one of the CC band members in it for it to count for this event. Thank you!

All ships are welcome, as long as they include at least one member of Corroded Coffin: Eddie, Jeff, Gareth & Freak. (Who I look forward to learning the name of from you all, time and time again!)

Please tag us here @corrodedcoffinfest when you post your work for the day so we can reblog it!

Be respectful of your fellow participants and readers. We're all here to have fun and share the love of all parts of Corroded Coffin.

Definitely feel free to ask me anything if the rules weren't clear in places, or if I straight up forgot something (or if you just have anything else you'd like to ask). You can send an ask/message to this blog or reach out to @thisapplepielife.

Please submit your post by 11:59 PM EDT on the day of the prompt in order to not be missed for reblogging.

 If posting on AO3, please feel free to use the collection associated with this event: Corroded Coffin Fest AO3 Collection after your submission has been reblogged by this account.

Most importantly, have fun! We can't wait to see what Corroded Coffin fanworks come out of this new event!

As the World Wizard Entertainment tournament finalists attempt to fireball their way to victory, I think it is not too early to announce the winner of a special award. The title of Archmage of Congeniality is given to the wizard who has most made this competition enjoyable.

Given that these wizards are fictional characters who are not literally participating in a tournament and interacting with one another, this title actually recognizes a contingent of fans who have dedicated themselves to enthusiastic fannish participation, passionate fandom fun, and positive engagement in the course of campaigning for their chosen wizard.

With maverick strategy that highlighted her prodigious bust size, called on the legacy of Exandria's greatest mage slayer, leveraged the relationship with her opponent and arcane mentor, and created many delightful new fanworks, the supporters of this wizard exemplified the spirit of campaigning for one's fave to win meaningless polls in a way that was constructive and uplifting and that brightened our dashboards with whimsy and passion.

In recognition of the spell of joy and delight that this wizard's supporters cast on this small corner of the fanspace during this silly series of polls, I bestow on Veth Brenatto the title of Archmage of Congeniality of the World Wizard Entertainment tournament.

Congratulations to Archmage Brenatto and especially (with all the loving sincerity in the world) to her fans and supporters who made this competition surreal, unexpected, and more enjoyable than it had any right to be.

One level in wizard goes a very, very long way. Live, Love, Veth.

To break character, though I have done quite a bit already in this post, and at the risk of repeating a lot of a post I made earlier today: I am full of genuine love for all of you who contributed to #VethSweep posting and made this tournament incredibly entertaining. I am also so excited for the Veth fans amidst this outpouring of support and shenanigans in her name—I hope some of this energy sticks around and adds to your ranks. All that I've said in this grandiose speech is all so very sincere, and my heart is full of joy and delight this evening.

Veth is not the grand final winner of the tournament, but she is absolutely and thoroughly the winner of our hearts.

#Critical Role things #World Wizard Entertainment #VethSweep #Yes I had this photoshopped and written in advance. #YES i am posting this BEFORE the final is called bc the Veth campaigning has been a DELIGHT

Award Nominations

About the fanwork awards

You can nominate fics, artworks, manips, videos and comments in different more specific categories! The nomination has to be exact, nominations without the category can't be used.

The easiest way to nominate works is by doing so in the Google Doc as instructed there, but if you can't access it for whatever reason, you can send nominations in an ask to the categories below the cut!

Fanfiction

Always nominate author - title - url (ao3 if available) to the fic categories:

Mirandy fanfiction:

all G/T rated Mirandy fics

all M/E rated Mirandy fics

getting together/first meeting

slow-burn

coming out/sexual awakening

Other fanfiction

all works that aren't mainly about Mirandy

all TDWP fanfiction

drabble

Nominations to this category must either be ‘normal’ drabbles of exactly 100 words, or other fics of 1000 words or under with a specific and planned wordcount such as 200, 123, 250, 420, 666 etc.

<10k / 10-100k / Epic (100+k)

Also add the wordcount of the fic to the nomination of the past three categories!

angst / hurt/comfort / fluff / humor

if the fic isn’t tagged ‘angst'/'hurt/comfort’/'fluff', whether or not it fits into the category will be decided by mods. please make sure that only correct fics get nominated to make the work easier! e.g., angst fic can have happy or unhappy endings but the main theme should be angst.

canon-compliant

AU: canon-divergence/modern/historical/fantasy/sci-fi

crossover

debut fic (Only first TDWP works by fanfic authors here!)

song fic

lesser known fics (<1k hits at the time of nomination, must be at at least 1 month old)

characterization of Andy / Miranda / the twins

the nominations in the abovr category don’t have to have the named character as a main character, it is just about the characterization of them. If the character isn’t a main character and the fic is longer than 1 chapter and/or 5k, please add where in the fic the character is written about, so nominate author - title - url (- chapter/specific url/search phrase)

best-break-up scene

nominate author - title - url - chapter/specific url/scene text

best erotica scene

nominate author - title - url - chapter/specific url/scene text

best love confessions

nominate author - title - url - quote

traditional art

digital art

comics

photo manip: kiss/other

gif edit/manip/gifset

video

Other nominations

Comments

nominate commenter - work url/if possible comment url - comment text

nice comments

constructive criticism

For this category, we ask that only the authors of the fanfiction/creators of other fanworks that have been commented on nominate comments, as advice that is helpful to some is hurtful to others, and we would not want to nominate a comment that the author didn’t appreciate.

meta/analysis/other

any written content that isn’t fanfiction

nominate creator (- title if it has one) - url (tumblr or ao3 if available

~

For example, a nomination could look like 'in the category drabble for the dwp fics, I nominate this double drabble by [author]: [title] [url]'.

[svsss-fanon-exposed]

Welcome!

This is your official-unofficial source for all things SVSSS fanon-debunking! As a veteran reader of MXTX's least popular novel and someone with a PhD in SVSSS literature, I have taken on the arduous task of separating fact from fiction... or well, specifically, canon from fanon.

《 Disclaimer: The purpose of this blog is textual analysis, not to tell people what fanon or canon material to use or not to use in their fanworks, or to make moral judgments on the way people interpret the text. Please see my faq and psa tags for more about my views on the matter. 》

There is a significant affliction within this fandom, where fanon ideas are assumed to be canonical facts-- to the point where sometimes fanon will even end up on the official SVSSS wiki 😱😱😱!!!

I've met quite a lot of people who are surprised to find out that something they think is canon is actually fanon, and even a few that are the other way around, so I've decided to start this blog to help people sort it out!

My credentials and qualifications are as follows:

PhD in SVSSS literature (awarded to me by a disgruntled SJ apologist).

A good minimum of 50-75% of available brain-space devoted to SVSSS at all times

Consummate knowledge of minute lore details

Near-memorization of a good portion of the novel, with the added ability to find any quote within 10 minutes of searching (in both EN and CN)

Author of a fic that is currently over 300k words long and counting, which was originally written out of spite for fanon portrayals of certain characters and themes

The ability to write 5k+ rants about any given topic in the space of an afternoon

--------------------

How this blog works:

You, dear reader, send in a suspected fanon topic to my askbox. Or perhaps it's something you suspect to be canon, but would like confirmation on.

I will then write a post on this topic (on no set schedule, I go as the wind takes me~), first applying a rating (more details below), then adding further information as needed. Topics with either support or rebuttal in canon will have quoted evidence presented, those without either of those things will simply have a brief explanation.

I will also add some analysis or potential interpretations and readings but I will do my best not to add my pure opinions to these posts-- this blog is about textual evidence! So, do not reblog my posts to argue with me based on your headcanons! If you want to argue against one of my posts, provide a quoted source from the novel!

Otherwise, I will most likely block you :>

Any hateful content or attempts to start fandom wank on my posts or in my inbox will get deleted and blocked. Anyone who provides textual evidence that changes my rating or analysis will be very much appreciated and receive the Golden Cucumber Award.

At the end of the day, this blog is entirely about canonical textual analysis and has no bearing whatsoever on what people want to headcanon or use in their fics. It's fandom. Do Whatever You Want Forever. Who am I to say you can't use a certain headcanon?

Just please treat headcanons as headcanons. No matter how deeply-entrenched into fanon they may be, they're still not canon and shouldn't be treated as such.

If you're of the mind that you'll still do whatever you want without regards for canon, then you're probably not the intended audience for this blog. If you're someone who wants to clarify whether a popular idea has a basis in canon or not, then read on to learn more about the rating system and see already-discussed topics!

--------------------

Rating System

WHAT DO I CONSIDER CANON? (please read before commenting)

Each exposed fanon or canon will receive a rating and analysis. The ratings are interpreted as follows:

CANON - This fact is directly or indirectly supported by the text! If you want to stay true to canon, this should be treated as fact.

FANON - SUPPORTED - Though the text doesn't directly state this is true, it is a very likely interpretation based on various factors including historical precedent and cultural norms, genre tropes, and the occam's razor principle.

FANON - NEUTRAL - The text neither confirms or denies this. It may be true or it may be false, and the matter is entirely up for interpretation. Many fanon will likely fall into this category, and whether you adopt it or not won't affect how true to canon your interpretations are.

FANON - UNSUPPORTED - While the text may not be directly against this headcanon, it is still an unlikely interpretation based on various factors including historical precedent and cultural norms, genre tropes, and the occam's razor principle.

FANON - CONFLICTING - The text goes directly against this interpretation, and there are quotes that prove it to be incorrect. If you wish to stay true to canon, it's best not to include this idea.

--------------------

Awards:

I will give out three awards on this blog for those who assist me in keeping fanon and canon separate!

The Bronze Cucumber Award will be given to anyone who reblogs my post and adds significant additional context in support of/explaining my analysis. This may be textual context or "support" context (cultural norms/historical precedence/genre tropes/etc.). Since this fandom likes to analyze, I will only be giving out this award to those who specifically add details and ideas that are not rooted in my original analysis (such as, a quote from a completely different part of the book, or a linguistic explanation that provides context), rather than those who simply expand on what I already wrote.

The Silver Cucumber Award will be given to those who reblog one of my analysis posts with a source telling the origin of a particular fanon idea. This is wonderful for archival purposes-- just as it's good to see where canon ideas come from, it can also be helpful to know where a fanon idea originated, in order to have proper context. Only the first responder to provide a fanon origin will receive the award (so that this blog doesn't get too clogged up).

The Golden Cucumber Award will be given to those who reblog one of my posts with a debunking of my analysis-- as long as they provide directly-quoted evidence that disproves my points. This evidence should be based on the text of the novel itself, and I should be able to look it up in my own copy. I will be more selective with giving out golden cucumbers to reblogs that debunk on the basis of "support" elements (cultural norms/historical precedence/genre tropes, etc.) because many of those topics can be somewhat subjective.

NOMINATIONS FOR THE AWARDS

Hello all!! As previously noted, this is going to be an awards poll/ceremony for the dwampyverse fandom!

All types of creators and interesting people will be spotlighted here, and I've decided that everyone submitted and ok with being included will get an award of some kind!

There will be three categories of awards: General(Favorite Writer or Funniest Fic), Fandom Specific(Most Milo Murphy's Law Art or Most Phineas and Ferb Trivia), and Specific Ones That Don't Fit Anywhere Else For Specific People Because This Isn't Just For Big Names In The Fandom(Will be simplified to just One-Off)(Most Interesting Self-Made Merch or Silliest Impression)

In addition, those categories will be split into two sections: People(talented or underrated people in the fandom) and Works(fanworks on their own, separate from the creator, and hopefully a lot of classics or big projects)

These are all examples, with the only currently set awards basically being the big ones: Favorite Writer, Favorite Artist, and Most Influential Work. There will be a number of smaller ones, along w the more specific ones for individuals! Please feel free to suggest any awards you would like to see/get, as the low number is simply because we don't know how many people will sign up/be submitted.

Keep in mind that while you can nominate anyone, there are inevitably people in this fandom that have my main blocked, and unless they specifically ask to be entered, they will not be nominated out of respect for their boundaries. In addition, as stated multiple times, if anyone who has themselves/their works submitted does not want to be in these polls, they can drop out at any time!

Submissions end in 30 days, on Feburary 25th, or 2/25/24! If we get a massive amount of submissions, this might end early.

I will stay unbiased on my own blog and this one, even if I myself am submitted, dw.

Tags for reach, pls tell me if u dont wanna be tagged n ill remove it @danvillecheese @adhdoofenshmirtz @ferbracket

Do you think ao3 is going to have a problem in the future?

hot damn isn't that an open-ended question.

...er. yes. Yes, I think AO3 will have "a problem" at some point in "the future."

Which problem is up for debate.

I don't think AO3 is going to be taken down or even substantially hurt by lawsuits from media companies or authors who hate fanfic. I think the time for that was over 10 years ago; if Disney hated fanfic and thought it was illegal, they would've gone after AO3 before it was internationally famous with more than 5 million users. Before it had won a Hugo Award.

Doesn't mean I think a lawsuit isn't possible, and the current SCOTUS in the US is run by a pack of corporate shills, but... it's a hard stretch to get a copyright-creativity case to go that far, and even with such a court, the outcome wouldn't be guaranteed. And no media company wants to be the test case for a lawsuit that decides "actually yknow what? Fanfic is pretty much legal."

I think there will be more regions that block AO3, in one way or another. Not many places have China's control over the internet, but there are other blocks, like pestering Google and demanding they filter search results.

I think antis are going to continue to scream about AO3 allowing content they don't like, even if the term "anti' changes and they wind up calling themselves something else. I think this may create some kinds of problems, including with payment processors, depending on where and how they yell. I don't think any of that will shut down AO3 or change its policies.

The thing to keep in mind is: AO3 does not need to grow. AO3 is not a venture-capital company. It does not have ROR. It does not generate profits. It is not accountable to anyone but itself for its policies and activities. It was designed by a small pack of fans who decided "we're damn tired of being pushed off our fic archive websites, and even more tired of VC-backed things showing up and trying to fleece us for profits while simultaneously insisting to their mainstream stockholders that they don't approve of smut, that they dislike slash, that they think fanfic is copyright infringement. We need to own the servers and set our own policies."

AO3's going to face plenty of problems in the future. A lot of people do not like smut, or do not like some kinds of smut, and think it should be illegal. Or they think it should be restricted. Or at the very least, the people who host it, write it, and read it, should be ashamed, and if they're not, they need to be Taught A Lesson.

Repeat with: slash fanfic, RPF, fanworks based on children's shows, and fanfic in general.

A lot of people think AO3 is Doing Fandom Wrong, and some of those people are going to cause problems. Some of those people are probably government officials, so the problems are going to be big.

But I don't think any of them are going to succeed in shutting down AO3 (although accessing it may get more difficult from some parts of the world), and they're definitely not going to change the core policies.

AO3 was started by people who'd been watching the legal and cultural landscape around fanfic for decades. It's run today by people with the same kinds of experience, the same kinds of beliefs about fandom culture.

I am not worried about the future of AO3.
