lol y'all are too funny. I think that chick was nominated in every category except one or two and I think she's like the owner or a moderator of the site.




That definitely screams "rigged" to me. Reminds me of another awards season we discussed back on Ethereality. lmao

Thanks Mare!

And I think it was Tess. I mean, c'mon! Someone can't win 17 awards!!! Three or four maybe [I've ended up having that happen & didn't even know I'd won until months after it'd ended-lol], but NOT 17!!!!!!!! Like I said, I was totally shocked I even won one. I guess people enjoy my Frick 'n' Frack are no more stories - lol. And instead of making her 17 freakin' awards, make my ONE first!!!!!!! It's easier that way! And drives me less bonkers! Lol.

Oh, & those Awards HAVE to be rigged!!!! She beat out Mare & Honey!!!!!!!!!!! [least, I'm pretty sure she did in some of the categories]  >:(

Who is Tess anyway?  What stories does she write?  I know of a Tess, but I don't know if she writes fanfic, so not sure if it could be the same one...

In any case, no one should be winning 17 awards anywhere, no matter how good they are.  That's just ridiculous.  But then, it was the Mature Fan awards, right?  Someone nominated a story of mine there once, and it won, except it was linked to my friend Bianca's site and listed under her name... so I'm not even really sure how it could have been judged, since they didn't have a correct link to the story LOL.  Kinda backs up the theory that they might be rigged, right?  I don't know anyone associated with those awards, so I don't think it was any friend of mine being biased, but maybe they just randomly assign winners?

I mean I only won 16 of the 14 Felix categories, so obviously that's not fixed, but C'MON... no one is that good that they win everything -- were these awards judged or voted on by readers?

And excuse me if Kelly and I lost, it HAS to be rigged, I mean...hello?

LMAO

i'll be cautiously optimistic and just say maybe they just really really REALLY like this Tess person.

Are we talking about MBSBFC because I lost those, too. Not that I cared that much lol

It IS weird that Tess was nominated and won so many times, but I'm sure that could've happened in the Felix Awards, too. Say Mary Sue was a writer that everyone on Absolute Chaos was in love with, and she wrote a vast variety of stories that were super awesome. Maybe she was nominated for just about every single thing, and she was super great, so she won almost all of them...It's possible.

Not likely, but not completely out of the realm of possibilities either.

*shrugs*

I'd be more worried if something like that happened with the Felix Awards lol Maybe Tess is amazing, who knows? I'm certainly not bitter about losing lol Rigged...tee-hee...I'll be optimistic (or is naive?) enough to think the judges voted honestly and not just because Tess is their OMG BFF fo LYFE YO!
