One of my writers, a woman who writes some of the best fanfiction I've ever read and had the good fortune to edit for a good, solid two years now, has submitted my name to the "Best Beta" category for one of the Twilight fanfiction awards.
It would mean a lot to me - more than a lot actually - if you all went and took ten or fifteen seconds to vote for me.
- Go to this link: http://dft.ba/-thehobbitivy
- Type in an email address (to ensure that people don't vote more than once. However, if you have SEVERAL email addresses...)
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page to "Best Beta", select TheHobbitIvy (That's me!)
- And then submit the form.
Camilla10, the woman who nominated me, is up for several awards herself, and I feel like I would be doing her a disservice if I did not mention what she is up for as well. All voting is on the same page.
Heartbroken (Best Edward)
Eros and Psyche (Best Bella)
The Archer (Best story/Romance)
I've been lucky enough to edit all four of those, and I've linked them all if you want to read them. Seriously, they're more original and better-written than Twilight. (Hard not to be better-written, of course, but I'm sure you understand.)
I do not mean to sound self-righteous if I do, but I have been working for almost eight years now with very little recognition and thanks outside of the people who I do edit for, and it is really nice to see that pay off, even only in a nomination. Editing is so critical to writing, especially such informal writing and publishing as fanfiction, and it is great to see a "Best Beta" category in the contest at all. Often we are overlooked.
Voting is open until May 25th, and winners will be announced shortly afterwards. I will keep yall posted. :)
