Victoria. BC The Winter 2002 FanFiction Awards, and our local nominee!

The Winter 2002 Fan Fiction Awards are finally underway over on the FanFic Writer's Resource Forum! Now, while I may have mentioned the "local nominee" news many weeks back in a post in the Bar & Grill, I thought given the delay of the awards, the details having changed slightly, and the fact that we have several new and returned members since I last posted about it, it definately deserved repeating in its own thread.

Now, she's probably too humble to post about it, but seeing as I'm her biggest fanfiction fan, critic, and betareader, I want to publically congratulate her for receiving nominations for her work in a total of FIVE categories for the illustrious Winter 2002 Fan Fiction Awards!

"Last Chance: Myn and Lara" has been nominated for "Readers' Choice: Romance Story", as well as receiving a second nomination for Readers' Choice: Post-ROTJ In-Progress Story.

Also from "Last Chance: Myn and Lara", Derisa's depiction of a favourite EU Ewok, Kolot, has been nominated for Male Original Character in a Supporting Role. (And yes, although Derisa was quick to explain to the organizer that Kolot is an EU character and not her own original creation, the organizer ruled that the nomination stands.)

A few of Derisa's other stories have also received nominations, including "The Martyrs" for Readers? Choice Original Trilogy In-Progress Story. And finally, her completed short-story Rogue Squadron fic, "Deep Down", has been nominated Readers? Choice Most Underrated Story.

If you haven't read any of Derisa's fanfiction yet, you're really missing out on some wonderful stories and great writing.

<hug> Congratulations on your nominations, Derisa! Way to GO, babe! <hug> You do Victory Base proud.
