Huzzah! Huge thanks to everyone who made the awards a reality!
Some thoughts on the "what next" above:
Fiction was the largest category but splitting it up could be tricky. If you do it by genre you could end up with potentially ever-proliferating categories. One possibly easy split to contemplate... finished/static projects versus ones that are still ongoing? Maybe? Just a thought.
As for cash prizes, as a previous winner and in the 'crowdfunding' spirit, I'll gladly auction off a 'cameo' appearance in Daron's Guitar Chronicles (http://daron.ceciliatan.com) and donate the proceeds to the prize fund? Minimum bid $25?
As for moving off Livejournal, a dedicated site wouldn't be badd, but more than moving "off" LJ, it would be good to see Rose and Bay sprout branches on other social networking sites, like have a Facebook page, a twitter feed, etc. It's relatively easy, though, if you were to set up a dedicated word press site, to have plugins set up so every post to that site gets mirrored on Facebook, in this LJ comm, and tweeted. I'm not in a position to be able to volunteer to host such a thing, but someone out there must...?
Just some thoughts. I have no doubt next year's awards will be even more awesome!
