Fan Works Revival Committee

[Captain Tammo]

I mention that here:

Right now, the Fanfiction Committee and I are working hard discussing the details to make this THE event of the Summer on the forum. In the meantime, keep your eyes open. The event is scheduled to begin taking your submissions soon!

We need to get everything set up before submissions can be taken.

Right now, the team has to gather a few volunteers to be judges. Judges are allowed to submit entries into the contest, but they may not vote for their own entry. If you're interested in being a judge, take a look at what the responsibilities will be (see my first big post about the competition on this thread), then let me know

Thanks, Tammo!
Commercial break:

The Plague, Captain Tammo's stand alone-entry in his renowned fanfiction saga, is now on the forum! Become a part of the revolution to end the terrible reign of King Damien the Damned, an evil greatrat who has centered his rule from the Great Land of Agrinaut's beloved Cathedral, now his palace of darkness! Your secret weapon: a mere mouse, half-mad and nearly ancient. Click [http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=7408.0] for more!

((honestly, I posted that here just so I could promote this. It's a little obvious, but go with it.

Also on the topic of the Fanfic Awards, I'm in the process of getting a PM out to a couple mods to see if we can get the forum to sponsor the show. In addition, we're still looking for a couple of people willing to judge the entries! If you're interested and want to know more details about the responsibilities of the judges, please shoot me a PM or just post below

Sorry for the double post, but this is an update.

I just heard back from the mods! Once things are ready to go, anything that requires magical mod powers will be taken care of (thanks, James)!

Now it's just finding another judge(s) and we're all set to kick this thing off! If you're interested in judging for the competition, let me know via post or PM. I may end up posting the competition thread anyway and putting an ad out, but hey, more judges will be pretty darn useful!

What a judge for the Fanfic Awards Ceremony does:

-Reads all of the entries and judges them with a simple rubric (judges will have at least 20 days to do this, so don't feel rushed!)

That's it! But there are some perks that come with this:

-Want to catch up on the forum's fanfictions? This can help knock a good chunk off your list! Already read a fanfiction in the contest? Fantastic! That makes for quicker judging!

-Judges have the option to help present the awards! Since the awards will be announced over the course of a few days, there will be different presenters!

-You're helping put together and run the biggest Fanfiction Contest the forum's ever had as part of the Fan Works Revival!

What I'm trying to get at here, guys, is that this is something that I think can really help the forum out for activity, especially the Fan Works Boards (and you guys said you think so, too!). So what do you say, are you willing to put yourself out there and be a judge? We can talk all we want about inactivity in the Fan Works boards, but are you willing to act and actually make it better?
