Confession time: I still lurk on FictionPress. I don't post, obviously, but I still read some other stories, and I occasionally check out the forums.
Because of this casual lurking, I heard that some of the websites created by other FictionPress slash writers are no longer going to be posting or anything. Namely, the awards sites. I'm not going to use their names, because I doubt these people want their sites to show up on my blog, but both of the main slash-related award sites seem to no longer be posting. This sucks, honestly, because I thought the awards sites were great. I honestly did.
Here's the part where I'm going to get in trouble...
A few months ago, right before I decided to give up on FictionPress, I mentioned that I'd like to start an awards site. I thought we could do it a little differently, but still use one site to promote and award stories that are really awesome.
My idea still stands. And I'm considering raising this idea on the forums (even though I really, really don't want to go back to FictionPress) so that newer people who didn't know me back then can have a chance to get involved.
This is NOT me being an opportunist. This isn't about me trying to be smug and sneaky, or act like I think "my awards are of course better than everyone else's awards." Nothing like that. These wouldn't even be my awards. I just think that these awards sites are good ideas. I think they're good for the FictionPress slash community, and I don't think they should disappear altogether. I think we should keep going because there's a real call for them.
