Awards & Guilds

Fan Fiction Award - "Fan Fic of Fan Fics"
 

We here at Shuffle Alliance have created this award, named after the original Japanese dialog term for the Fight winner, "Gundam the Gundams", to better recognize the G Gundam community's outstanding fan fiction writers.  Much  like actual tournament competitors, the best of the best in writers strive to achieve technical quality in their work (spelling, good grammar, etc), original plot ideas, and an in-depth understanding of the characters (keeping the characters IN CHARACTER).  This award may be given at any time by any member of the site staff.  (Winners will be listed here to prevent award fraud.)

This group was finally created when one too many poorly done fics had finally been uploaded in the G Gundam section of fanfiction.net  Anyone may belong to this guild, whether they read and/or write fan fiction, and as long as they believe in the following list of "guidelines."  (And it can be for any type of fan fiction ranging from Star Wars to Harry Potter to Slayers; it doesn't have to be just for G Gundam fan fic.)

• I will plan my story with care.  Spontaneity is good, but a story with no direction and no purpose results in an empty message.
• The characters in my story are borrowed; I will not twist and bend them so out of character that they are merely look-a-likes with the same name.  I believe that the creator of the series/manga/movie/etc took time and effort in creating these characters, and I will remain true to the foundations laid in place.
• I will not create senseless character pairings that ignore the foundations of said characters.  Any non-canon pairings I create will be given a basis and careful in story development in order to respect the original personalities, beliefs, etc. of the characters in question.
• I will proofread my work, and if necessary, get a beta reader to help me before publishing my fan fiction online.  Good grammar, spelling, punctuation, formatting, etc are just as important as a good plot.
• I will take the time to be sure the borrowed characters' names are spelled right, as well as the names of any borrowed places, vehicles, mecha, important items, etc.  Spelling names correctly is as important as spelling any other word in my story correctly.
• When beta reading or reviewing the work of another fan fiction writer, I will give them the best advice I can in order to help them improve.
