User blog:DogwoodFlowers/WFWA + Contest Results-ish

Warriors Fanfiction Wiki Awards (WFWA)
Hey everybody! WFWA will start in a week. Here's the plans, please read them over! I'll update this blog next week when it starts.

Voting
I'll need a team of three people to help me judge. We'll set up WFWA like this: the wiki will vote on stories for what category, and the number of votes will determine the winner and runner-up. The judges are there to double-check the voters' work and make sure that no good stories slipped through the cracks. If you want to judge, please comment!

Commenting
To enter, you will need to comment on three stories- one from a good friend, one from someone you consider like more of an acquaintance, and one from someone you don't know at all. IF YOU'RE IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE, I understand that you don't have the luxury of summer break. You may have a close friend comment for you, but that friend can only do a "good friend" and "stranger" comments, and you still need to comment on the story of someone you don't know at all.

Comments have a 100 word MINIMUM. Plug your comment into Google Docs and use Ctrl+Shift+C to check the word count. For every chapter, there should be a few sentences of commentary and critique. DO NOT FORGET TO BE CONSTRUCTIVE. Please see this blog if you haven't already, and check out comments like these to see what I'm expecting.

I'll spread out the judges so that each story submitted gets a long and constructive comment from a judge. Judges also cannot enter WFWA, but it would be highly appreciated if you could leave a comment on a judge's story!

Submissions
The story submitted for a category must have three or four chapters done already, meaning you should probably start writing ASAP to get a story valid for submission. Users can submit two stories for up to three categories. Ex. "I'm entering Dogwood is a Loser to Best Cliche-Kicker, Best Hero, and Best Style of Narration."

Categories
If you have any questions about these, please let me know! Any recommendations for categories would be great as well! ALSO, I do recognize that there is a big gap between the skill levels of the users here. And that's okay! Everyone's growing! There are two levels to the categories- Beginner and Open. When submitting to a category, please also add whether you're going for Beginner or Open. But I strongly encourage you to go for the Open level. If you go to Beginner, you can only submit one story to two categories. If you go to Open, as stated above, you can submit two to three categories.
 * Best Antagonist
 * Best Protagonist
 * Best Hero
 * Best Villain
 * Best Overall Story
 * Best Concept
 * Best Potential (Unfinished Story) [Three winners for this one since 90% of the wiki's stories aren't done]
 * Best Ship
 * Best Cliche-Kicker
 * Best Style of Narration
 * Best Fits Song (Songfic)
 * Best Short Story

Contest Not Results
I only got four submissions to the contest, which taught me something- Contests bad.

Because there were only four, I see no point to picking three winners (which would be hard anyways because they were all really really good), and basically the contest and prizes are being cancelled. Sorry ^^" But Patch, Firey, Brams, and Blazey, your stories were all absolutely wonderful, and who knows, you could enter it into WFWA.
