Booyah Awards

GREAT NEWS! The WINNERS for Circuit 1 are officially announced! Remember, each category has two winners: one "judged" as the winner by two or more of the anonymous judges here at Booyah, and another "voted" as the winner through the polling we had going on. There are two ways for you to see the winners:

1. Go to t...

Hey everyone! You haven't heard from us in a while, but there is a good (read: lame) reason why. Every time we attempted to get onto Freewebs, the login page was being idiotic, and then we became angry and stormed away from the computers in a raging fury. You understand, right? Yeah, whatever.

So I've closed down the polls for voting now, and I'm going to start tallying the votes. Overall, I must admit that I was kind of disappointed in the turnout, especially in certain ca...

VOTING for Circuit 1 has now begun! You get the chance to tell me who you think should win in each category! To vote, just go to the new page titled "Voting" where you will see a list of the nominees as well as some basic instructions for voting. You can access all the polls for voting on that page as well.

Congrats to all of the nominees!

UPDATE: Anyone else having trouble loading the pages? If you ar...

Hola everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that our nominations for Circuit 1 are now complete and all of them are posted on the Nominations page. Check them out!

You all will get your chance to vote on the nominees starting this coming Friday (March 6), sometime in the evening hours (USA time). I will post an update on this page when that is all ready for you.

Congrats to all the nominees...

Hey all! I just wanted to give you a heads-up that nominations for circuit 1 will be cut off as of Wednesday, March 4, around 7pm (Eastern Standard Time, 6 Central, 4 Pacific). I will have all the nominations posted by Friday, March 6 when we will begin the voting process that you all will get to participate in!

Booyah!

So this is a last call for nominations! Get them in to me now! Go! Now! I comm...

FP is still being a complete idiot, and I can't sign in to send out the PMs to inform the nominees that they are nominated. But I updated the nomination list again with some new noms that have come in (thank you!). I still have about 13 more empty spots, so check those out and then send me some stories! It's actually a lot of fun looking through all of these.

Also, I updated the Arbitrary Rules page with some clarafication on how I do the nomination selection (arbitrary, re...

Did everyone die or something? A couple of weeks ago, I had a tidal wave of emails coming in with nominations, and then they just stopped. What happened?

So I still need nominations for the following categories: Best Drunken Party Scene (I know they're out there, and you do too! So send them to me!), Best Character Description, Best Review, Best Tearjerker Scene, and Best Random Moment. Remember, for the random moment, there doesn't even have to be any logic in your ...

Check the category page. If you have ever looked at this page thoroughly before, you will notice a change. The "Best Author's Note" category has disappeared. It's been replaced!

The new category is now "Best Random Moment" for a moment of randomness that you might find within a story. So, now you can forget about searching for good author's notes and start searching for completely random stuff.

Thank you so much for the nominations that I have receieved in the past 24 hours! They have really boosted the direction of the site. I'm thrilled to see that other people have a sense of humor much like my own, and the nominees have been fantastic (seriously, not even being sarcastic this time). I can't stop giggling. Oh wait... that's completely irrelevant.

Anyway, the reason for this message is to let you know that I will be posting some nominees very soon (as soon as I ...

Okay, people? Anyone out there?

So I've had a grand total of ONE person send me nominations (and quite a few at that! Thanks to you, ONE person), and considering that this person wanted to remain anonymous, I haven't posted any of the noms yets (you know, so it's not so obvious who that person is). So...

It would be really helpful if other people would send in more nominations as well. Then I could post a lot of stuff on the site! And then more people cou...
