Hey guys! So my friend (who doesn't have a ff account) wanted me to put this little thing on here that she typed to tell everyone about the Love Sucks Awards she made. Technically, this is in story form, so it fits the guidelines ;).
"Hi, everyone. I'm Elena Gilbert from The Vampire Diaries," Elena says as she sets down at her computer, looking into the camera with bright eyes. "I'm here today to discuss a very big problem with you all: Fanfiction and fanvideos. The problem is not the stories and videos, but the fact that so many talented authors and creators get their work overlooked." She pauses for a second, allowing her last statement to sink in.
"There is a solution to this catastrophe, though, and it can be found at www(dot)lovesucksawards(dot)webs(dot)com. Everyone should go to that website, and participate in the first ever Love Sucks Awards. It's an awards contest devoted to recognizing just those people. So head on over to the website listed above and check it out! It has a really cool category list. The categories are:

You can nominate any story or video for any of these wonderful categories over at www(dot)lovesucksawards(dot)webs(dot)com!" Elena said, logging on to the website. The camera zooms in on the screen, showing all the elements of the website as she navigates through it.
"So, if you saw a Vampire Diaries video or read a Vampire Diaries story and thought 'Wow! That was amazing!,' you should go nominate it for some category!" Elena smiles and the camera fades to black.
Ya'll should definately go check it out! I mean there are TONS of fanfiction awards for some other fandoms *cough* *cough* twilight *cough* *cough*... but I've never heard of a vd award. I think it's a pretty cool idea at least. At least go look at the site! :D Thanks!
