Since
January 2011 the Fangreaders have been chatting about and sharing their favourite SVM/TB fanfiction stories.
What started with a few enthusiasts has grown into a community of over 200
fanfic readers and writers, stretching over several time-zones – and we just
keep getting bigger and bigger! New members are signing up every week to take
part in our online discussions in the Fangreaders chat room, the Fangreaders
Chatroom Central blog site, Fang_Readers Community on
LiveJournal, and the Caffe
Trieste forum.
You
may have heard of a previous Fangreader organised event – The Lemon Tart Awards.
This event celebrated the sassy and sexy side of fanfiction. But this time we
want to go all the way - Oscars Style!
In celebration of 12 wonderful months of meeting new people and making
new friends – the community is bringing you ‘The
Fangreader Awards’. On January the 8th, Fangreaders submitted
their nominations for their most loved fanfics in ten different categories.
Comedy, Romance, All Human, Angst, One-shots, series and more will be included
in this event to celebrate excellence in writing and honour those who have
captivated us with their plots, amused us with their banter and made our hearts
flutter with excitement when they provide us with an update.
Although
the Fangreaders nominated the stories for these awards –
voting
is open to the entire SVM/TB fandom.
That’s
right – you don’t need to be a Fangreader for your voice to be heard!
The
public vote opened on Sunday 15th January 2012 and the ballot will close on 19th
February 2012 11.59pm GMT. That leaves you plenty of time to catch up and
read any of the stories nominated that you might have missed. Remember – you
can only vote ONCE – and the goal of the Fangies is to award excellence in
writing and not just be another popularity contest.

An
award ceremony will be held at 9pm GMT (4pm EST) on Saturday 25th February 2012
on http://fangreaders-hall-of-fame.blogspot.com/
and the best part is that the winners will be announced by your favourite
SVM/TB characters!
