Nomination!
Mar. 15th, 2013 02:11 amOne of my TMNT fics just got nominated for the Adult Fan Fiction Awards for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (AFFA TMNT), which surprised the hell out of me - and made me do a little jump for joy.
It surprised me because last I knew the AFFA awards are for the year the story was published and I haven't been in the TMNT fandom for four years. Apparently they missed a year and this year opened it to anything that was published prior to the date the nomination time period started.
It made me jump for joy because the AFFA awards is definitely the most professionally run fanfiction award site I've ever seen.
I've only written two stories for this fandom and now both of them have been involved in the AFFA. The other story actually tied for fourth place in its category, which pleased me because I was competing against BNFs and it was the first story I'd even written for the fandom, which meant it got there entirely by how well I wrote the story.
I'm not really expecting this other story to place very high, honestly, but the fact someone likes it enough to nominate it four years after I wrote it is enough to make me giddy.
For anyone who's interested or just curious, here's the AFFA site - I was last involved in the 2008 competition - and the stories in question can be found here on my DW account.
