Writing Award Explanations

The Prosh Awards, organized by Red Monster and Desert Nomad, were "given for X-Force fan fiction, to encourage the writing of it and to reward the efforts of authors who stick up for X-Force".

There was a total of 12 awards given out: Comedy, Romance, Adventure, Subreality Cafe, Built Around Single Character, Crossover, Drama, Reader's Pick, Most Promising New Author, Best Story Overall, Best Author Overall and Honorary Awards.
Of these, I got 5: Best Romance, Best Built Around Single Character, Best Crossover, Best Author Overall and an Honorary Award.

The Maggie Awards were organized by Alara Rogers and voted on by a panel of four people. The purpose of the awards was to spotlight high-quality Magneto fanfic that the panel thought the general public would enjoy reading.

The awards were named according varying shades of the electromagnetic spectrum. In order of importance, from biggest to smallest award, they were: The Gamma Ray Award (3 were given out), the X-Ray Award (13 were given out), the Ultraviolet Award (47 were given out) and the Visible Light Award (15 were given out).
Of these, I got one Ultraviolet Award.

The CBFFA Awards (Comic Book Fan Fiction Awards) were organized by Kelly "Kielle" Newcomb and were voted on by the entire fanfic community. It was the first, and to date remains the most significant and all-encompassing award ceremony for comic book fan fiction.

The awards were separated by categories, each category awarding a winner, second place and third place.
In the X-Force category, I tied for second place, and tied for third place.
The relevant excerpt from the ceremony: "Okay. First, in Third Place, we have a tie -- 'Your Way,' by Samy Merchi, and 'X-Force Vs. The Peeps,' by Desert Nomad." Desert Nomad waved tiredly from her table, where several Peeps were lapping up the remains of the fermented soy sauce. They'd looked up at the mention of their names, but the alcohol proved more interesting. Samy trotted up to the stage to get his award. "Stay here, boy," Mr. Williams instructed. "The Second Place Award is also a tie -- 'Apocalypso,' by Mr. Merchi, here, and the "Dreamweaver/True Believer Series' by Alicia McKenzie." Both Writers received their awards. Samy looked at Billy Dee Williams, who nodded. Both Writers sat down. "And finally, by an overwhelming margin of votes, First Place goes to DuAnn Cowart for 'Just Lucky, I Guess.'"
