THE MERRIWEATHERS ARE COMING! THE MERRIWEATHERS ARE COMING!
ANNOUNCING A NEW WRITING CONTEST FOR 2005: THE MERRIWEATHER AWARDS!
The Merriweather Award is a new contest created by dedicated Lois & Clark Fanfiction lovers. It has been created uniquely for the purpose of judging fanfic on a point system with the highest score receiving top prize. There will also be winners for Second Place, Third Place and Honorable Mention. How cool is that??? If your story wins, bragging rights are yours! You’ll have a certificate AND a place in the Merriweather Hall of Fame!
What makes the Merriweathers so distinctive is its judging system. All effort has been taken to establish a fair competition. Like every authentic writing contest, there is a panel of judges who receive the stories from a gatekeeper who has deleted all references to author identity. Stories are awarded points based on criteria used in other writing contests but adapted for Lois and Clark fanfiction.
Even better, each month will have a new category! Maybe you thought that the alt-universe story you wrote in 2001 was your best work – enter it in the Merriweathers! Stories from 2001 to the present (Kerth winners included) are eligible (this just gets better and better, doesn’t it?).
The Merriweather Committee will begin accepting stories STARTING ON JANUARY 22. This month’s category: WAFFY VIGNETTES! (Everyone’s favorite category!)
So start sorting through your stories and let the Merriweather Committee know where they can find your stories. This is an exciting time in the development of Lois & Clark Fanfiction.
Remember: Lois was nominated for a Merriweather and didn’t win THAT YEAR. Show that you’re a better writer than Lois and get that Merriweather!
