Site Improvements!
You guys may have noticed the addition of a review box at the end of each chapter, which will hopefully make reviewing a bit more convenient for everyone.

Now that the site is growing larger and more active, I have been considering doing an awards contest for the best stories in each category. Members could nominate their favorite fics, vote on them and the winners would be awarded a special graphic to post here in their profiles as well as elsewhere on the web. I would like some feedback on the idea first though, to make sure there are enough people interested to make it work.

Also, I am looking for a couple more moderators for the site. These jobs don't require any HTML/coding knowledge, as I take care of all of that stuff. Basically it would be along the lines of checking over stories and interacting with other authors.

Interested?

Awards sound like a good idea - provided that they don't get surrounded with the flak that seems to accompany most fanfiction awards. It might also encourage people to pull their metaphorical socks up and write better. :)


Moderators? I volunteer my services, with one query - checking over stories for what, exactly? Spelling? Grammar? Flame-ness?
(Or maybe my good friend, Canon...)

Noldo, I was hoping you would be interested. Tell you what, I'm going to go ahead and add you as a moderator and we can discuss it in the "moderators only board" I am about to make.

Well about the reward stuff I think it a good idea, also just for an idea how about challenges and stuff like that. Also I wouldn't mind be a moderator I don't have anything to do.

Awards sound like a great idea. There are not many awards sites online right now that are open to such a broad range of LOTR fics.

Hey Cormak,

I agree with you. Most are only a certain pairing or only book verse. If I get the level of interest and involvement I am hoping for, I'd like to offer awards for the best fic in every category, especially the ones that normally get left out.

Wonderful, thank you!

Awards sounds like fun, it could be a great encouragement to get a nifty banner!
A thought; maybe, in addition to "Best bookverse 2004" etc(assuming that's what you've got in mind), fic-challenges could be an idea? It's not new, but plotbunnies seem to be welcome at every forum, so... ?

That's a good idea! I will bring it up in the forum.
