In my opinion, as great an idea as it is, we do not need a FFML award.  As
it stands, there are plenty of awards on the web, more than I would care
for.  Personally, for me, the awards that are available mean nothing to
me, and those who want an award are glory seekers.  For me, the reward of
writing a fanfic is just having an excuse to waste time doing something
that I like to do, and reading email from people who respond to my
stories.  These alone are more than enough to satisfy my needs...

Then (after a few too many beers perhaps) it came to me. We need an FFML
awards thing or whatever. Maybe this idea has already been suggested but
I don't care. What we should do is assign someone to keep track of the 
fanfics for a month then put out a list and people vote for them. 
Simple, right? So I'm recommending that you all (quite possibly when 
you're not fully alert) begin a campaign for the 1st (and probably last)
FFML awards.
