Howdy Browncoats! I bring a message of fun and Serenity. Well, not the movie but the ship;)

After receiving multiple requests from individuals for fanfic recs within the firefly fandom, I consulted with the great Goddess Neroli and her pupil Cassie E. We decided to found a fanfiction award for our great fandom henceforth known as The Strawberries: The Bluesun Awards for Firefly Fanfiction (or for short: The BSA Strawberries).

We're still in the planning phase right now and wish to recruit a few more interested individuals as judges --- especially looking for some nonwriters so we can avoid any taint of partiality. The link to our site is below in my signature (alternatively, message one of us three).

We'll announce when we're ready to receive story nominations (probably a couple of weeks) so visit the site and familiarize yourselves with the categories. We plan to accept 2 nominations per category per person. So start narrowing down your faves 

The details are on the site below including our planned judging process (which will be followed by a fandom wide vote among selected finalists for the winners). Haken has agreed to post the winners as a feature!! :) So the story you help select could be the first thing a new convert clicks on when they come here!

Okay, think that covers it. Here are a list of the awards:) Visit our ezboard frequently for up to the minute updates. We'll let you know when we're open for the nomination business.

Pselus, have you checked out the site yet? Might want to register with EZ board if you are serious about judging...you'll need it since that is going to be our home base.

This is a great idea!

Would it be possible to access some of the older fanfiction somewhere on FFF.net? I can only access the last hundred items, and some of the fics I would like to nominate are much older than that.

Hope there's a way...

Like fireflyfans.net?

To Britchick,

I'm sure there is. But right now we're looking for judges before the noms.

MAL
"Maybe you're right. Maybe we're soulmates."

INARA
"Yes. Great. I wish you hundreds of fat children."

Hmm, if you hit the "show me more fanfics" link after getting to the blue sun room, it should do it. Takes a long time, but when I do it it shows fics from 2002....
