Question of the day part 6
kevmylove:
How do you feel about fanfic awards?
I think they are fun and a really good idea.
Have you ever been nominated for one?
Yes, I have been nominated for a few in the Felix Awards. Also for Rose and Karah's awards too.
Do you prefer awards voted on or judged?
I forgot what year it was, on AC for the Felix Awards that some judges flaked out. Made it harder on the rest of the judges...lucki ly they were able to work things out. I like either way. But when the time comes I think to myself what if the person judging your story doesn't like the genre of your story. Will they judge it fairly as opposed to the voting and knowing that whoever votes on your story probably already read it and enjoyed it. (did that even make sense?)
How important would it be for you to win an award?
I would say it's not important. It's just really awesome when you do win an award.
What award would you most like to win & which story of yours do you feel deserves an award?
Hmmm I would probably say Best AU, although I was runner up last year. So close! The story I would like to see win would be Fight Me...it's my baby at the time. lol.

Yeah, I think that's a really valid point about who is judging what. I think that's why the use of a rubric for judging is so important because it kind of forces you to be fair and impartial when you have to justify the things you are saying and doing. Otherwise it really does just come down to a matter of personal taste. It's much harder to let your own taste get in the way when everyone uses the same criteria for judging.

Here's another question:
Would you ever consider submitting one of your stories to a site for review? If yes which one would you choose & what would you hope to find out?

That is what I had to emphasize on my review site on every page in bold with several asteriks around it... everything on the site was based off of my subjective opinion (minus grammar/spelling/structure)

Well since I'm working on rewriting I would submit Chronos Project. And I would hope for the kind of feedback I am getting/got from Rose, Amanda and (hopefully) my brother. They are asking questions about the plot or bringing to light something I might not have noticed that a character did that wasn't exactly in character. If I have glaring grammar issues without I'd like to know also. All through school my papers came back with "watch the tense changes" so I'd hope if I did that I would be told so I can watch out for it.
I am not sure I'd submit anything else for review since most of my stories won't change if there are those errors.
