TONFA's First Annual Best in Category Competition
Heyo! Everyone! It is my pleasure to announce TONFA's first annual Best in Category competition, open August 1st!
The Rules are Here, as well as tips on how to get noticed! Thanks to your cooperation to get the archives back in fine form I'll be opening our first in house competition, asking you to nominate your favourite fanfictions from the General, Het, Yaoi, Yuri, OC and AU categories!
Not only will winners get the recognition of their peers, they will get a special category only winners can submit to, a graphic award for your summary so the public will recognise you and, my favourite of all, an art prize from the magnificent artist above, thei11! For each category first prize will win a special soft shaded art piece of your choice whilst runner up will recieve a line art commission!
I also want to get out the news that three art prizes will also be given out to three reviewers who do their best to encourage and enlighten TONFA! I will be looking for honesty, attention to detail, following up chapters, backing up your advice.... All the things you crave in a review! The best thing about this is all nominations for the fanfictions awards, must be members before 01/08/08, where as Top Reviewer everyone is eligible up until September 1st when I announce the winner to be chosen by myself.
And trust me guys, Thei11's art is worth it! So my suggestion to you is get the word out everywhere you can! The more members we have, the more nominations your story may get, and the more reviews!
This is the first time I've ever organised a competition, and all the prizes are coming out of my wallet so please, I'd love feedback.

I've been looking at a variety of methods, so far when the times come I'll post a link to a guestbook that allows me to see IP addresses.

WOOT this is so kool! if we nominate a story does it have to be finished? i wish i woucl win.... but my stories sadly sux.... XD
MidnightWolf @ 13/07/08 - 04:12 pm
No, it doesn't have to be finished, just nominated by an author of TONFA.
To my idiocy I didn't post a link to the rules.

A note to all American Authors, Bushtucka, like myself, is Australian, and we have a different dating format. You have until the first of August to join up and submit a story.

*cries* Boo-hoo my mad-fics!
Nah just kidding, the fact that your putting that competion later gives me the chance to make mine the best..
Noleta @ 16/07/08 - 09:51 pm
I have a question.
If you make a really great fic and you have people who read it, but no one will review, does that count for anything?
Will you be participating in this competition?
Koyuki @ 18/07/08 - 12:36 pm
For those worrying about the Madfic category, your competition will be soon and you're right! Nows the time to refine and rerwrite!
To Koyuki- On your first question, unfortunetly it is Readers Choice, readers votes. I've put some notes on the competition's Rules page about how to draw more attention to your fic.
As for your second question- No, I can't nominate or vote, and that's a real sacrifice as there's a couple of fics I'd love to nominate.

LOL~ I love copetition!
But sadly, as i am strictly a madfic writer, that leaves me out of the running. (just until the madfic competition that is)

Awwww, I could so win this with my book if it was new users included. I want the art. ^^
