OMG, Steph. I'm so shocked about the Best Author win. Thank you so much! Please extend my thanks to Rae and the the judges for such an honor. I just can't believe it. As always, the graphic artists on your payroll do such incredible work.
What criteria do you use to determine best author? I was also so thrilled to see Snowy up there with me as she's one of my favorite people.
Hiyah! I was about to give Steph hugs and squee that this round is FINALLY over *snickers* when I saw your question. Knowing Steph she is either filling herself with a ton of caffine and staying up all night to work on her paper, or crashed from working on her paper, so I thought I'd answer.
We take all of the authors who have won at least one award this round, go back through all previous rounds and take off anyone on the list who has won best author or runner up before, narrow down that list to only authors who have won awards with at least 3 DIFFERENT fics from this round and all prior rounds together, but have not won best author or runner up, and then give the list to all the mods to vote on. *quick breath* Since there are 8 mods total, including Steph and myself, that come from many different parts of the fandom (many different pairing shippers, lol) it comes out pretty well rounded I think.
Thanks for describing the selection process. That sounds like quite a bit of work! Hats off to you girls. There should be cookies and alcohol involved when you complete each round! *pops the champagne*
I've actually always wanted to judge at Fang Fetish, but up until recently was in school full time and didn't have the time to commit to it. While 3 cats of up to 15 fics still seems like an undertaking, hit me up if you're looking for a new judge. I might be able to work up the nerve :)
I would love for you to be a judge! I know that you do not tend to stick with Spuffy (we dont' need spuffy judges. got too many. lol) and I'm sure you would be very unbiased. If not I'd have to flay you. lol JOKING! But seriously if you had a problem with a "friend" being in a category we could swap you to another one

Thanks so much for a great round, hon. I'm floored by the RU for Best Author and by all the other awards. *squishyhugs* This was a great round and I loved the challenge - Can't wait for November! In the meantime, good luck with RL - hope it's not too taxing. ;)
