Sparrabeth_Seas: The Sparrabeth Awards

Welcome to the KMC office for Sparrabeth_Seas: The Sparrabeth Awards!!! 😱

Sparrabeth_Seas is a livejournal community dedicated to honoring Sparrabeth fanfiction writers through the awards.

This is a place where I'll post notices regarding the Awards site for Sparrabeth fanfiction and where all my KMC buddies can ask questions (if you have any, of course).

Session II is now open for nominations! A pwetty banner to the winning author or fanfic in tons of categories!

So, run on over to the link posted below, read the rules (you might have to scroll down a bit or check the userinfo page) and nominate away! 😄

Thanks!!

💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

Ta Miz Savvy, I'm gonna nominate or die trying! There are some wonderfully touching bits out there aren't there? Is it bunches of catagories like before? I love reading the past winner of other awards--best of the best is always a lot easier on the eye. Do you know if there are awards for videos? My taste runs to quirky juxaposition in that arena.

Back to vacation--a whole delicious delightful week of nothing but....endless chores, mother gotta-dos, 😱 family dinner at Thanksgiving😑, and major sneaking time on this time sucking box nosing around the endless corners of the internet.....what a deal! Thanks for the update on new on the 'puter--

Hmmm, I don't know of an awards site for videos yet, but that is a great idea! I know of a sparrabeth video community, just not an awards site..maybe a future project, lol.

Yep, we've still got a lot of categories:

The Birds And The Seas : Best Smut

The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword : Best Author

Sail To The End Of The Earth And Beyond : Best Epic (15+ Chapters)

Amazing How Often Those Two Things Coincide : Best Love/Hate Fic

Pirate King : Best Jack's POV

Pirate Queen : Best Elizabeth's POV

A Love Short And Sweet : Best Oneshot

A Pirate's Dinghy : Best Drabble (under 500 words)

My Heart Will Go On : Best Tear-Jerker

Should We Meet Again : Best Post-At Worlds End

Fledgling : Best Tale with a Baby

Learning To Trust, Learning To Fly : Best Angst

Bring Me That Horizon : Best Action/Adventure

Devils, Black Sheep, And Really Bad Eggs : Most Creative

How All The Pieces Fit Together...: Best Completed Fic

Where the Compass Points : Best Incomplete Fic

Miz Savvy--where in the best day do you get all this energy?! And the catagory titles are a hoot in and of themselves! Jeez, did everyone (but me, I somehow snuck in) have to qualify for MENSA to post on KMC/Pirates?! I know I've said it before, however, it bears repeating, what a bright, funny, passionate group of folks all piratistas here be and a joy, loved by our moms and dads! Okay, I'm making my list and checking it twice--then I will proceed to go forward!! so that I too can make nominations for those stories I can't live without--figure if you go back to read them more than three times, you must like 'em some.

Thanks you darlin'--you're a kind and generous teacher/protector, two of the many qualities of Jack I see in folks here. Maybe that's why we are so fascinated, smitten with him what exists in us. Me, I'm the goofy graceful wandering drift (when you move large groups of critters, their movement point a-point b) loving what turns up to delight me. Now there'd be a list, Jack's qualities and who's like him how? Another thread--off now to gather info and learn how to do something new--please grade on the curve, Savvy-teach!

I can't nominate, sadly, I have just one chapter and one paragraph so far, I write so slow.. 🙁

Aw, thanks Tex - I like to think I have my occasional creative/energetic moments, lol 😄 I had sooo much fun making up the category names...yeah, got some strange looks from the parents when I was over on the computer typing and chuckling away to myself 😛 Fantastic, Tex - I can't wait to see what stories you nominate, you've got such good taste when it comes to fics (or so I've found) 🙂

You're so sweet! *hugs* Yes, I think you're right about Jack - he is that mentor and protector that I think we'd all love to have and all love to be at the same time, lol. You're not goofy, Tex, at least not in a bad way - we're all pretty goofy on here sometimes 😎 Ooh, that would be an awesome thread, you should totally start one up Tex 😄

Grade on the curve, lol - love it!

Oh Sif, you don't have to nominate your own stories - you can nominate any story written by any author, as long as Sparrabeth is the main pairing (or at least more than implied 😉

hey Savvy can u nominate more than one story?

Oh, you totally can! You can nominate as many stories as you want, you just can nominate one particular story for more than two categories - e.g you couldn't enter Apprentice to a Sorcerer for Best Smut, Best Epic and Best Liz Pov, just two overall for that one story - savvy?

Here is the rules page: http://community.livejournal.com/sparrabeth_sea/profile

😄

ya i read the rules it was just kinda fuzzy to me...lol!!

also u said leave a comment with the nomination...where do i comment?

okay Savvy, I know we tried this drill last time--I go to the page above--I go to leave a comment and then I cut and paste the particulars list for nominations and then once I get all the .whatevers and the httpeees then I submit comment and nomination is made? Right or no right?

Aaugh I do not like being stymied!!

Okay....lemme see where the comment button is.... Alright, on the first page that comes up, you click "categories" on the top entry (not the title, of course, the one in parentheses that is bold/underlined). At the bottom of the new page, you click "leave a comment" 😄

Lol, you're doing great Tex, don't sweat it! You've got it perfectly right 😉 I normally paste the nomination form onto Mircosoft Word a bunch of times, fill in the nomination there then paste it onto the comment space and submit it. Once you hit "post comment" - you've made a nomination 😄 Plus, if something isn't correct, we'll let you know and you can resubmit if you wish (that way, all that tedious/hard work doesn't go to waste)

TaDa--I'm soooo coool I'm soooo coool--well, just sorta cool but I got it done and in merely minutes and furthermore I got it done! Okay, I just realized another neato thing (lord, I'm lapsing into 60's speak, so sorry)about this KMC--none of you have to hear me sing (like when I wake up and I'm happy, or I've learned something new and I'm happy or fill in the blank, and I'm happy).

My next total enjoyment package is going to include, yes VOTING!! I love to vote, voted every single time I've ever been legal to do so, yep and reading oh yeah, reading more fiction. I'm so naive in some ways that I really believe they will write no more or create vids if I don't post comment--silly right?

Okay, so the internet is this big hugeish large messy library with no card catalouge--I hereby revise my opinion of this nasty necessary evil, maybe it can be fun too. If you're doing it right and playing with the right piratistas, yep makes up for all the stupid chain letters in the world that your friends send you in lieu of a real message. Okay, off topic offically and off to ratkilling with my Mama--she's determined to be busy this holiday and I'm the driver--tanks, chile--congrats on your nom. oh, and 🙂 Miz Sifzensinril (beautiful, that's what I think it means) go ahead on and submit, I'll second if you need one. The more the merrier, yes, I'm selfish--means more for me to read.

Yay, Tex! I saw your nomination, congrats on a job well done 😄 😄 😄 *huggie-wuggles* (okay, the huggie-wuggles thing was very random...and...uh...kinda weird...sorry!)

I'm glad you're enjoying the internet, it can be very fun sometimes 😛

Sif! You really should nominate your story if its already posted, 😄

lol...i want to nominate a fic but i dont know what category to nominate it under...lol!!

hey savvy is it also possible to nominate a story that has already won? or are those disqualified?

You can't nominate a story that has already won into the category that it already won it - does that make any sense at all? Lol

perfect sense...lol

REMINDER! 😄 😄 😄

Hello!

Well, so far the Sparrabth Awards have been a huge success thanks to our wonderful nominators and voters, our previous administrative team and all those fabulous authors out there! (riotous applause)

I've got a couple of announcements to make....

Firstly, the next session of the awards should be starting up sometime in February, so start gathering those fics together for nominations! ^____^

Secondly, I'm currently looking for a co-moderator to help me run the awards. Comment or send me a message if you're interested and let me know what experience (if any) you've got, how much spare time you have to help, and why you want to help run the Sparrabeth Awards.

Thanks so much, everyone! I couldn't have the awards without all of you! 🙂
