Eikyuu Kosai nominations now open!

The first term of Eikyuu Kosai (the Mir/San Awards) is now officially open! We seek to award the efforts of fans, both for fiction and art, in a variety of categories.

Our first nomination period runs from July 1 - July 14, 2009. Work eligible for awards this term must have been posted **to a publicly accessible archive** between January 1 and June 30, 2009.

For more information, please see this post.

I am ridiculously excited about this, hehe. It's exciting to know we're filling in a gap on the awards scene, and that we have the chance to highlight some artists and writers who maybe are overlooked by the other fandom award groups. I've submitted my first round of nominations, and it was surprisingly difficult to narrow down the field o.O

We could use as many members and as much support as we can get, so I invite all of you out there to check out the group and throw a few noms our way ;)

Also, on a completely unrelated note, I have succumbed to the temptation and joined deviantArt. I doubt I'm going to post my work there (just feels kinda skeezy posting fanfic on an art site, you know?), but I am already doing my fair share of favoriting and commenting :P So if you get a bit of unexpected fangirl squee on a piece of art that's eons old, I apologize in advance :P
