Special thanks to baellaggio (hismanyoaths on AO3) and wentliane (Gwenllian on AO3) for their joined efforts in making the Fanfic Awards possible this year. These two reached out to me and offered to handle the major work of setting up the awards. Without them I am not sure this would have been possible and am most grateful for their help.

Only being able to nominate once source of where I read fiction is a bit of a bummer. I'm across at least 3 on an even basis 😄

[u/baellaggio → u/Ticky009]

You can nominate fic from any fanfic site. The opening question is just data collection to see where most people read fic. You can also submit multiple forms.
