Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the 2008 Silver Pencil Awards! I'm your host, mr_pikachu. My co-host, Gavin Luper, will be arriving shortly.
As many of you know, the Silver Pencils and Golden Pens are an annual tradition here in Fanfic. Furthermore, as some of you surely recall, the Golden Pens are held mid-year and the Silver Pencils at the end of the calendar.
Well, no more! It is only fitting that we close the year with the Golden Pens, as we now realize. If you've ever watched the Olympics, you know why we're saving the Golden Pens for the grand finale of each year.
Now that you understand that little tweak, let's get on with it!
Those of you who have done this before know how everything works, but for the newcomers among us, I'll explain. Basically, the Silver Pencils and Golden Pens are how we recognize the best Fanficcers around. But before we do that, we have to decide how they'll be recognized. So you have to help us decide!
Below is a list of all the categories in the 2007 Silver Pencils. It's your job to suggest new categories to be added or old ones to be eliminated from the list. After the hosts sort out all the categories based on your input, the nomination phase begins.
That's all there is to it. So, think it's about time we added a new category? Or is there one that's outlived its usefulness? Post here and let us know!
The deadline for suggestions is July 14th, 2008 at 11:59:59 p.m. Central Standard Time.
