We see Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons, dressed up.
"Hello everybody. I'm Tom Tucker," said Tom. "This is a very special edition of 'This is not another review fic'!"
"And I'm Diane Simmons," said Diane. "And this is the Family Guy Fanfiction Awards!"
"That's right Diane," said Tom. "Tonight, many people who devoted their free time to provide us with mediocre to good stories will see their work rewarded."
"And now we go to our Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa, who's outside the main hall. How are the things there, Tricia?"
Tricia was standing in the middle of a hallway as many people dressed up.
"As you can see, the awards raised a lot of expectations. As people walk into the main hall, they discuss about which one will take which award," said Tricia. "Oh, it seems that they're going to start. Back to you, Tom!"
"Thank you, Tricia," said Tom Tucker. "Now, let's go to the awards…"
Ander Arias, Satine89 and Liana-Wolfe present... The Family Guy Fanfiction Awards!
"Ladies and gentlemen," said the announcer. "Tonight will be a great night, full of action and entertainment. Our first match will be Jeff Hardy versus Chris Jericho for the intercontinental championship and...what? Fanfiction awards? Do you mean this isn't Friday Night Smackdown?"
People began to murmur in confusion.
"Sorry about that. Ladies and gentlemen," said the announcer. "Tonight will be a great night, full of entertainment and surprises. Opening the awards and hosting the first category, genres, Quahog's family couple, Peter and Lois Griffin!"
Peter and Lois, both dressed up, came into the stage, welcomed by a thunderous applause.
Genre Awards
Humor
"Ah, humor, my favourite genre" said Peter.
"Yeah, you always loved make people laugh," said Lois.
"No, I always loved laugh at other people," said Peter. "Hehehehehehehe!"
Lois rolled her eyes.
"Anyway, giving Family Guy's nature, there are many of fanfics focused on comedy," said Lois.
"Like The Spellbook, Stewie and the Fat Woman, A Famiy Guy Chirstmas Carol, and many more," said Peter. "Unfortunately, we could only choose one…"
"Actually, we choose two stories, although many people consider them as one," said Lois. "The winners are Meg's Boyfriend, and Meg's Family, by Malcolm Fox!"
"The amount of well-written humor and comedy, these two stories deserve this award more than any other story," said Peter. "So, congratulations, Malcolm!"
Supernatural
"There aren't too many stories with supernatural elements," commented Peter.
"One of the nominees was Whispering Illusion 2" said Lois. "However, the judges turned down this story."
"They both think that many parts were written like a videogame script," said Peter
"An obvious nominee was The Spellbook," said Lois. "This story could be the winner, if there wasn't a better candidate."
"That leaves us with one story remaining…" said Peter. "Meg Apparition, by Liana Wolfe!"
"Meg Apparition is a well-written story that mixes supernatural elements, humor and character development like no other story on this site," praised Lois. "It also has a flawless grammar and an impressive writing style."
"So, congratulations, Liana," said Peter. "Remember that there are plenty of people waiting for you to continue the story."
Romantic Comedy
"You know, Lois" said Peter. "This genre kinda remind me of us"
"Really?" asked Lois. "Because there hasn't been any romance nor comedy on our lives as for recently...at least on my life..."
"There aren't too many romantic comedies here, since people who write romance tend to use it in the most serious way possible" said Peter.
"But there's somebody who managed to write good romantic comedy" said Lois. "And we're talking about Meg's boyfriend!"
"Even if it doesn't have too many romance recently, it had a lot of it on its earliest chapters."
Romantic Drama
"Ah, romantic drama, I really like this genre!" gushed Lois. "And, despite not being as popular as other genres, we still have some candidates."
"Whispering Illusion 1, by Bhaalspawn, was a great nominee," commented Peter.
"Another good nominee was Years of Our Families, by Tourmaline True," said Lois. "Brian/Stewie stories usually had quite a good dose of romantic drama."
"But, sadly for their authors, they didn't earn this award," said Peter. "Right, Lois?"
"Exactly. Our winner is Lust, Affairs and Love, by the great authoress known as Masquerade Angel!" announced Lois. "The judges decided that the romance and drama on it were completely balanced: enough to move people, but not overplayed, so it doesn't look like a boring and twisted soap opera. The impressive writing style, interesting storyline, and great characterization made this story deserve the award."
Horror
"Well, now it's time for horror stories," said Peter.
"Horror it isn't a very popular genre in this section," said Lois. "However, there are still some authors who dare to write some scary stories."
"Nightmare on Spooner Street is one of the nominees," said Peter.
"As well as Madness of The Griffins," said Lois.
"But once again, they lost against a third competitor" said Peter. "Because our winner is Pushed too Far, by Malcolm Fox!"
"Pushed Too Far is not just a story about somebody going insane for no reason," said Lois. "But Malcolm also took some time in develop Meg's feelings, which, through massive emotional pain, grew more and more bitter, to the point of snapping, turned her into a psycho killer. Congratulations Malcolm, this is your second award!"
Friendship
"Well, friendship is a common genre," said Peter. "Even if it's not the main focus, most of the Family Guy stories have some friendship on it."
"That's why the judges had a hard time choosing nominations," said Lois. "The first two nominations are Meg Apparition and Attack of the 100 foot Meg Griffin."
"However, both stories were discarded for a third one, which digs in the concept of friendship more than any other story," said Peter. "The winner is... Faster than The Speed of Love, by Brian Griffin!"
"What the hell?!" asked Lois as she read the sheet. "Brian!!"
"Sorry," said Brian off-screen. "I thought that could work..."
"So, the REAL story the judges chose as best story about friendship is Meg and Eddie, by Aldovas!" said Lois.
"Congratulations, Aldo," said Peter. "Your idea about two former enemies becoming friends little by little made you the winner of this award!"
Parody
"Strangely enough, there aren't too many parodies here," said Lois. "And only few of them are worth of mention. So we will skip to the winner. Peter?"
"The winner is Attack of the 100 foot Meg Griffin, by Grey-X," said Peter. "This awesome parody of Attack of the 50 foot Woman gave him his first award of the show!"
Drama
"Drama… surely something that doesn't suit with the Family Guy essence too well," said Lois. "Still, that doesn't stop people from trying."
"And some of then even succeed," said Peter. "Like our first nominee, Whispering Illusion 1, in which Meg dealt with the loss of a friend that became really close."
"Our second nominee is Lust, Affairs and Love, in which I was in a coma, and the only way for saving me was an operation with a high chance of death," said Lois.
"And our final nomination, Years of Our Families, dealing with Stewie's infatuation with Brian," said Peter. "Which of them will be the winner?"
"The winner is Lust, Affairs and Love, by the mistress of drama, Masquerade Angel," said Lois. "She did a great job describing, in full detail, the grief towards my possible death, making the readers able to feel the same way the characters did. Congratulations, this second award proves, at least to the judges, how of a great authoress you are!"
Family
"Family is a bit like friendship," said Lois. "Barely any story focuses on family relationships, but many of them have it as a background element"
"The Spellbook is a good nominee," said Peter. "Since Ander's main focus in the story is the relationships between the members of the Griffin family."
"Another nomination is Pushed Too Far," said Lois. "It's also about family... albeit in a twisted and sick way..."
"However, none of these are the winner," said Peter.
"Because the winner is Attack of the 100 foot Meg Griffin, taking its second award!" announced Lois.
"You know, it's weird how a story about a teen girl growing giant and going insane could have such a major impact on family bonding," said Peter.
"Well, that's because it's very subtle most of the time, but it's there," said Lois. "If you realize it, this story is mostly about Meg's relationship with the rest of the family."
Special Category Award: Best Short Story
"Because the judges thought that short stories deserved some recognition too," said Lois.
"There are lots of good short stories out there," said Peter. "That's why we decided that it would be unfair to choose only one, so we have two winners."
"Our first winner is Her, by SonofDragonFly," said Lois. "This story is so short, yet so beautiful and heart-warming. Nobody used Quagmire's undying feelings for me in such a wonderful way, as well as Meg's need of somebody's love. They sought consolation in each other, but in the end they realize that it's not what they really wanted."
"And our second winner is Faith Toleration, by Peach Wookie," said Peter. "An alternate ending to Not All Dogs Go to Heaven, in which Brian convinces Meg that what she's doing is wrong without making her reject what made her happy. The judges found its take on character development and inner feelings of both Meg and Brian to be deserving of this award."
"Well, so the Genre Awards is finally over!" said the announcer, as Peter and Lois left the stage. "Hosting the Pairings Awards, Matthew Kennedy and Cassandra Buchem!"
Like Peter and Lois, they were also welcomed with a loud applause.
Pairings Awards
1- Best use of pairings
"Like the popular song says, love is in the air," said Cassie.
"That's right," said Matt. "Because love is the main focus of these categories. Shall we start?"
"Not yet!" said Cassie. "There's something we have to say first."
"Oh, yeah, I almost forgot," said Matt. "To prevent further confusion, the choices were made regarding three criteria: the quality of the story as a whole, the amount of development of the pairing, and the balance between the two characters."
"So we're not going to give an award to a wonderfully fleshed-out pairing in an abysmal story," said Cassie. "Or to a wonderful story in which the pairing it supposedly focuses has no development."
"Or a pairing in which all the focus is on one-half of the pairing while the other half is barely developed at all," said Matt. "Now we can start."
Peter/Lois
"Despite being a commonly used pairing in canon, Peter and Lois don't get too many things to do as a couple in fanfiction," said Cassie.
"However, there's somebody who actually managed to use this couple rather well," said Matt. "And, although has won by default, needs to be recognized."
"We're talking about Masquerade Angel, who used Peter and Lois as a secondary couple in her story Lust, Affairs and Love," said Cassie. "She used this pairing without exaggerating Peter's stupidity and jerkass-ery or Lois' recent craziness and nymphomania, making them to go through rough situations. In the end, they end up appreciating each other even more than before."
"So, congratulations. You turned this barely used couple into a nice addition to your story!" said Matt.
Lois/Brian
"Lois/Brian is kind of a base breaker," said Cassie. "Some people like it, and some other people hate it…"
"Although there aren't too many good Brian/Lois stories," said Matt, "there's a story that outshines the rest when using this pairing, and therefore wins by default, too."
"And said story is Brian's Dilemma, by Haylias," said Cassie.
"Haylias' work is liked by many people, as well as his take in breaking an established pairing to form a new one that fits his liking better," said Matt. "Even if one of the judges didn't like its overly positive portrayal of Brian, as well as overly negative portrayal of Peter."
"Well, making Peter look bad as a husband, father, or whatever isn't too hard, it is?" asked Cassie.
"Touché," said Matt.
Stewie/Brian
"Saying that this pairing is a base breaker is an understatement," said Matt. "Since many people absolutely love it, and many other people loathe it to no end…"
"Well, nobody forces them to read them," said Cassie. "So, mindless Brian/Stewie haters, you can skip this category if you want, and well as go to f(bleep!) yourselves!"
"Calm down, Cassie!" said Matt. "There are kids watching us!"
"Sorry… I love Brian/Stewie too much…" said Cassie, trying to calm herself. "…There are too many good Brian/Stewie stories to have only one winner, that's why the judges chose not two, but three winners!"
"Our first winner is Years of Our Families, by Tourmaline True," said Matt. "Which is probably, one of the best, if not the best time skip story on this site. Its awesome writing style, excellent characterization, and impressive character development make this story outstanding compared to the usual Stewie/Brian story."
"The second winner is A Good Man is Hard to Find, by Mr. Gregor Samsa," said Cassie. "Another excellent time skip story that had a great impact on the site."
"And our last winner is Coming Out," said Matt. "Lauded by many as the best Brian/Stewie story ever thanks to its original premise, excellent use of humor and drama, as well as a great characterization and shocking dramatic moments. Congratulations everyone for your well deserved awards!"
Brian/OC
"My god, this is the third pairing involving Brian!" said Matt in surprise. "What a Casanova."
"And we even had to suppress a fourth pairing involving Brian due to the lack of nominations," chuckled Cassie. "Well, let's end this quick, since there's only one story with this pairing that outstands enough to deserve this award!"
"The story is Lust, Affairs and Love," said Matt. "The authoress took her time in fleshing out and polishing this relationship, and got a marvellous result. Congratulations again."
Meg/OC
"My God, this is as bad, if not worse, than the Brian/Stewie category," sighed Cassie. "It seems that there was a lot of competition in this field."
"There are only three nominees for this category" said Matt. "The first one, you guessed it, it's Meg's Boyfriend. Meg's Boyfriend (and its sequel) is an awesome story, as well as one of the best and longest of the site. It has a large cast of both canon and original characters, it's funny to read, has funny and intelligent flashbacks, cutaways and jokes, great characterization, and many more things."
"The second one is The Spellbook," said Cassie. "Following the same line as Meg's Boyfriend, but with some alterations, as well as the introduction of the supernatural element, this story contains a lot of comedy, plot-building, and an excellent cast of humorous supporting characters."
"The last nomination is Whispering Illusion 2" said Matt. "It drifts from Meg's Boyfriend's line in order to focus on darker, more dramatic chapters, as well as some action. There's also a huge emphasis on the supernatural element and fighting scenes. Worth mentioning is its great take on controversial pairings."
"However, neither of the judges thought that WI2 deserved to be the winner of this award due to many facts, mostly related to the disproportionate focus on Meg's husband Matt, compared to Meg," said Cassie.
"Meg's Boyfriend could be an obvious winner, however, Malcolm rarely develops Meg and Zack as a pairing," said Matt.
"So, our winner is The Spellbook!" announced Cassie. "Thanks to its awesome mix of humor, supernatural elements, character development and character balance, as well as good amount of romantic development of the main pairing, the judges decided this story to be the best nominee for the award."
Stewie/OC
"This is another pairing that was there from the beginning, but has been winning fans recently," commented Matt.
"Yup. Pairing Stewie with an OC of your own seems to be a popular trend," said Cassie. "Which is our first nominee?"
"Much to the author's surprise, the first nominee was Stewie/Sophie in The Spellbook," said Matt. "The judges liked this pairing, apparently!"
"The second nominee is Stewie/Jaina, from Whispering Illusion 2," said Cassie. "We all saw that coming."
"And our last nominee is Stewie/Chaos, from Mayhem and Chaos," said Matt. "However, the judges soon began to discard nominees in order to come up with a winner. This was the first discarded pairing, due to the fact that it's not specified if it's a pairing at all."
"The second elimination was Stewie/Jaina," said Cassie. "Which is a pity. Stewie/Jaina was full of fluffy moments and warm and fuzzy feelings that won the hearts of many people, the three judges included. However, the recent slut-ification of Jaina, as well as Stewie going completely OOC, made the judges to drop this nomination."
"Which leaves us with Stewie/Sophie as winner," said Matt. "Many people like the pairing due to its cutesy and funny moments, and can see it happening in the future without Stewie going through any major change or alteration. Also, the fact that the pairing is unrequited adds an interesting flavor to it."
"And Sophie became evil to get his love," Cassie added, as if this was more important than anything Matt had said.
2- Pairing Feelings
Realism
"Realism isn't a word suited for this universe…" said Cassie. "Don't you think so?"
"Sure," said Matt. "But realism is necessary to some degree"
"So these are the most realistic pairings on Family Guy Fanfiction!" announced Cassie. "Our first nominee is Meg/Matt in The Spellbook."
"However, this pairing was discarded, since there were more developed pairings with a touch of realism," said Matt sadly. "What a pity…"
"Our second nominee is Brian/Stewie, in the story Years of Our Families," said Cassie. "But it was discarded too."
"So that leaves us with two other nominees," said Matt. "But, since the judges couldn't make up their minds, they decided that they could share the award."
"The first winner is Meg/Eddie, from Meg and Eddie!" announced Cassie. "They stated out as enemies, but little by little, through pure character development, they became a romantic couple. Bonus points for its originality."
"And our second winner is Brian/Jillian from The Spellbook," said Matt. "Ander's effort on reconstructing this pairing doomed by canon bloomed into a well-developed and interesting pairing whose love has to go through many troubles and tests."
"Congratulations to both," said Cassie with a smile. "By the way, don't you find weird that Ander fleshed out much more Brian/Jillian than Matt/Meg?"
Fun
"It was about time!" said Matt, cutting Cassie's question off. "Since Family Guy is about fun, there should be some pairings that make you laugh."
"Our first nominee is Bhaalspawn, for Meg/Connie," said Cassie. "This pairing is close to canon, and had lots of potential, but only used it as a one-time gag, and therefore, the judges didn't think it deserved to be the winner."
"Speaking of which, our winner is Malcolm Fox!" said Matt. "Not for one, but two funny pairings: Maddie/Olivia and Chris/Jillian."
"Maddie/Olivia is used as a gag too, but Malcolm uses it frequently," said Cassie. "It leads to hilarious situations, and sometimes really clever ways to break the fourth wall."
"The other pairing is Chris/Jillian," said Matt. "They're two morons in love! Do I need to say more?"
Controversial
"Including a controversial pairing is a good way to stand out," said Cassie. "But that only happens if you write said pairing right."
"The first nominee was Quagmire/Meg in Her," said Matt. "But it was quickly discarded, since some of the judges thought that it wasn't a pairing… if you catch my drift."
Cassie raised an eyebrow. "The second nomination was Stewie/Jaina," said Cassie. "But it was also marked down… due to the reasons stated above."
"And our last nomination and winner is Chris/Jillian!" said Matt.
"That's right. The three judges agreed that Malcolm grasped the true essence of a controversial pairing," said Cassie. "They sometimes feel awkward about their relationship, and try to hide it from the rest of the family, knowing that they won't see it with good eyes. Besides, the author doesn't bang the reader with the pairing and go on boring rants about how this pairing is right and those who don't like it are retarded. He lets it flow, and lets people decide for themselves if they like it or not."
"I also realize that Malcolm focused much more on Chris/Jillian rather than Zack/Meg…" said Matt as he rubbed his chin.
"I guess that Jillian has some... special kind of charm…" wondered Cassie.
Original
"It's hard to be original when it comes to pairings," said Matt.
"Yup" said Cassie. "People tend to stick to the same trends time after time, but sometimes a bold author will try something new that will renew the interest of a bored audience."
"And the judges decided that SonofDragonfly was that author, for his Quagmire/Meg pairing in Her, and the wonderful way it's developed," said Matt.
"Not many people are willing to explore the dangerous world of sexual obsession, and choosing two emotionally damaged characters to explore it was a stroke of genius," Cassie noted.
Interesting
"Which pairing draws people's interest better than anyone?" asked Matt.
"After a heated discussion, the judges decided that Quagmire/Meg, in Her, due to its implications and possibilities, was the most interesting pairing here," said Cassie. "So congratulations for your second award in a row!"
Best Developed
"Once again, the judges didn't make their mind about which pairing should take this award," said Matt. "Given the number of good and well developed pairings there are."
"That's why they decided to choose no less than three winners!" said Cassie.
"The first one is Matt/Meg from Whispering Illusion 1" said Matt. "A former frienship is revived after several years, that soon turns into something more, culminating in a complete tearjerker ending. Many people missed this kind of development in the sequel. Congratulations to Bhaal, who earns his first award of the show."
"The second one is Brian/Stewie in Years of Our Lives," said Cassie. "This relationship is fleshed out from a very original point of view, in a very deep and detailed manner."
"And the last one is Brian/Jillian from The Spellbook," said Matt. "I guess that it's useless to repeat again how much Ander likes this pairing and how much effort he poured on it."
"Well, that was the last category from the pairing awards," said the announcer as Matt and Cassie left the satge. "Now it's time for the Canon Character Portrayal Awards!"
Canon Character Portrayal
1- Main Cast
"Hosting the first third of the Main Cast Portrayal, Brian and Stewie Griffin!" said the announced.
Brian and Stewie were welcomed with lots of applauses, but some people booed them as well.
"An accurate portrayal of the canon characters helps to make the readers feel like they're watching a Family Guy episode," said Brian.
"That's why now the authors who put more effort in writing the canon characters as close to canon as possible are going to be rewarded!" said Stewie.
Peter
"Our first award is the best portrayal of Peter," said Brian.
"There aren't too many people who use the fatman that often," commented Stewie. "But there are some of them who actually try."
"We actually only have two nominees: Malcolm Fox and Grey-X," said Brian.
"And, although both of them portray Peter very close to canon, there are still some differences," said Stewie. "Grey-X chose to portray Peter as the idiotic but well intentioned guy he was in the pre cancellation seasons…"
"…While Malcolm preferred to portray Peter as the unlikeable jerk he is nowadays," Brian finished. "However, despite Malcolm's recent efforts to portray Peter in a more sympathetic way, the judges still thought that Grey-X deserved this award more than Malcolm. Congratulations!"
Lois
"Le's go to the vile woman," said Stewie. "She's used more often than the fatman, although less than other characters."
"However, we have a good bunch of candidates to take this award," said Brian. "The first one is Malcolm Fox."
"My God, is there any award that guy isn't nominated for?" asked Stewie.
"Well, Malcolm's work includes a lot of fields," said Brian. "Anyway, Malcolm's initial portrayal of Lois was rather inconsistent: sometimes was the kind and caring housewife he was at the beginning of the series, and suddenly switched to somebody as mean as Peter. However, in the recent chapters, Malcolm portrays Lois in a more sympathetic way."
"Another authoress who used Lois prominently was Masquerade Angel," said Stewie. "She used Lois in an original and refreshing way, subverting the roles in the typical Brian/Lois fanfic, being Lois who lusts for Brian, and digging into her inner troubles and emotional conflicts."
"Grey-X is also a good candidate for taking this award," said Brian. "He was able to grasp Lois' role as voice of reason and caretaker of the family quite well."
"Our last nominee would be Ander Arias," said Stewie. "He uses Lois quite often, portrays her relatively close to canon, being a loving mother and the family's voice of reason, but also uses some of her more recent traits like her high sex drive, in order to make her funnier and with more variety."
"As you can realize, this was a hard decision, given how many good candidates we had" said Brian. "But the judges finally came out with a result: the winners are Masquerade Angel and Grey-X! Congratulations to both!"
"And now, hosting the second part of the canon character portrayal, Peter and Lois Griffin!" said the announcer, as Peter and Lois walked onto the stage again.
Meg
"Our daughter Meg is really popular among the fanfiction community," said Lois.
"Yeah, I wonder what makes her so popular," growled Peter, out of jealousy.
"The first nominee is Malcolm Fox," said Lois.
"However, the judges weren't too pleased with Malcolm's portrayal of Meg," said Peter. "In Meg's Boyfriend/Family, Meg is very whiny, even more than in canon, has zero self esteem, is barely able to do things on her own and needs other people to stand for her all the time. It would be great for a start, but after so many time, you'll expect to see some development . Although I seems that Malcolm finally realized of this, the judges doesn't consider his recent efforts to be enough. That's why his nomination was marked down."
"Bhaalspawn was nominated as well," said Lois. "However, Meg's personality in Whispering Illusion is rather undefined, since her main role is to be the love interest of a much more important character, to the point that her existence is practically based around him so Bhaal is out too."
"Our next nominee is Grey-X," said Peter. "In Attack of the 100 foot Meg Griffin, Meg is still very whiny and angsty, but considering what she had to went through, is more understandable. Besides, she also goes through a nice character development."
"Another nominee is Ander Arias," said Lois. "He tried to keep her original personality, as well as giving her some character development and fleshing out her relationship with other family members, especially me, and giving her magic powers."
"The last nominee would be Liana Wolfe," said Peter. "She fleshed out Meg in a similar way to Ander's (although this doesn't mean that she copied him), giving her magic powers as well, although putting more emphasis on turning her into a super-heroine."
"And, since the judges can't choose between these final three nominees, they decided to split the award between them. Congratulations!"
Chris
"Which author uses Chris best?" asked Peter.
"The real question would be, which author uses Chris at all?" said Lois. "Poor Chris. He is probably the least popular and least used character in the Family Guy fanfiction, but once again, somebody gave him an interesting role."
"We are talking about Malcolm Fox... again," muttered Peter.
Lois glared at him for being less than gracious. "Chris wasn't too prominent until the author decided to pair him with Jillian," said Lois. "So, congratulations to Malcolm!"
"And hosting the last part of the canon character portrayal, Meg and Chris Griffin!" said the announcer.
Peter and Lois left the stage, being replaced by their children, who were welcomed by applause.
Brian
"Brian has a good bunch of fans both in canon and fanfiction," said Chris.
"However, very few people portray him in a non irritating way," said Meg. "Our first nominee is Haylias."
"But one of the judges marked down this nomination, since he thinks that Brian is overwritten, making him to look like a flawless character," said Chris. "However, the other two judges were okay with his nomination, since, even though that was true, Haylias also put a lot of effort on Brian, and tried to make him look likeable and a good protagonist in the readers' eyes, who's pursuing a dream."
"The second nominee is Ander Arias," said Meg. "He tried to stick to his pre-cancellation characterization, uses him in a prominent way but remains in the background when he's not needed. However, when he really shines in when paired with Jillian, which is well fleshed-out."
"And the last nominee would be Masquerade Angel," said Chris. "He portrays Brian rather good, omits his most annoying traits and shows him as somebody very damaged who desperately wants to find love. On the other hand, many people said that Brian was too angsty, even in the story's context."
"Three authors, three different ways to portray the same character, with both good and bad points," said Meg. "That's why, once again, the award goes to the three nominees! Congratulations!"
Stewie
"Given Stewie's multiple personalities, we decided to split this award in two," said Chris.
"The first award will be the best portrayal of Stewie according to his most recent personality. In these kind of fics, Stewie usually shares the spotlight with Brian," said Meg.
"And is flamingly gay," said Chris.
"And the second award, the best portrayal of Stewie who matches best his evil genius persona," said Meg.
"There are lots of nominees for the first award, so we will skip to the winner: Tourmaline True!" said Chris.
"That's right," said Meg. "Tourmaline portrays Stewie in a way that doesn't feel forced or exaggerated, thus making her fic rather enjoyable, even for those who aren't into slash."
"Now, onto the second award," said Chris.
"Pre-cancellation Stewie isn't too popular in fanfiction, since most of the authors were overwhelmed by his flamboyant homosexuality," said Meg. "But there are other authors who prefer to use his original personality."
"The first nominee for this award is Malcolm Fox," said Chris. "Although he uses Stewie's gay side as well, it's mostly for comedy purposes, and sticks to his original characterization most of the time. He's usually making fun of others, as well as building devices in order to kill Lois and take over the world, but he also spend time playing with other kids, mostly keeps his most prominet quirks without falling into exaggeration"
"The second nominee is Ander Arias," said Meg. "Ander follows the same line as Malcolm, although he chose to pair him with somebody like Rosie, who is Stewie's moral opposite. Being a foil for each other, their personalities bounce of each other, providing an excellent formula for humor and character development."
"That's why, once again, the best characterization of pre cancellation Stewie goes to both Malcolm and Ander," said Meg. "Congratulations to both."
"That was the main cast portrayal!" said the announcer. "Now it's time for the secondary cast portrayal, hosted by Peter and Brian Griffin!"
2- Supporting Cast
"This will be quick," said Brian. "Since there aren't too many people who uses the secondary cast in an outstanding way."
"Or at all…" said Peter. "Let's get started!"
Quagmire
Cassie poked her head out from behind the curtain on stage. "WHERE?!"
Someone pulled her backstage quickly. Peter sighed.
"…Satine89 takes this award," said Peter.
"It's obvious that Quagmire is her favourite character," said Brian. "And that allowed her to write for a character that most people fail with. Congratulations!"
Joe
"Joe is a funny character," said Peter. "He's on a wheelchair!"
"Peter, being handicapped isn't funny!" said Brian in disgust.
"Maybe for him. But for me, sure it is!" laughed Peter.
"Anyway, the winners are Malcolm Fox and Ander Arias," said Brian, "who were able to make the most of Joe. Congratulations for this award that proves your will to use potentially good but underappreciated characters."
Jillian
"Ah, Jillian," sighed Brian. "My ex-girlfriend. Except in The Spellbook, when we're together again. Too bad that there aren't too many people who write for her."
"But there are two authors who, like Joe, made the most of her," said Peter. "You're right, we're talking about Malcolm and Ander."
"We could have more nominees if more people decided to open their minds and not use the same two-three characters all the time…" said Brian bitterly.
Connie
"Our next category is Connie D'Amico," said Peter.
"Also known as 'That slut who bullies Meg'," said Brian. "There are only two nominees. The judges gave the award to both to reward their work with this character."
"The first one is Satine89," said Peter. "Through off-screen development, she turned her into a multi-dimensional and interesting character."
"The second winner is Bhaalspawn," said Brian. "Who decided to use her as something more than a paper-thin antagonist, going as far as befriending Meg and, in an alternate future, being her lover. Congratulations to both of you."
Bit Characters
"This is more a recognition rather than an award" said Peter. "Since, if there are very few people who bother to use supporting characters, much less people who use bit characters."
"The first winner is Malcolm Fox," said Brian. "For his work on many bit characters, but specially Olivia Fuller. She started out as Maddie's antagonist, but then became her friend, and even developed a crush on her. Also, worth of mention is his use of Adam West."
"The second winner is Grey-X, for Neil Goldman," said Peter. "Neil is one of the least used characters, probably because he's Jewish, but he had a small but important role in Attack of the 100 foot Meg Griffin. Although he was annoying most of the time. And Jewish."
"Peter, stop," said Brian, pissed.
Special Canon Character Portrayal Award: Development
"This award is for those authors who, showing an impressive skill, took one of the canon characters and through sheer development, turned them into something completely different, yet still close to canon," said Brian.
"The first winner is Liana Wolfe, for Meg, in Meg Apparition," said Peter. "It seems that the authoress only loaded her with powers, but said powers forced Meg to change and evolve in a way that she'd never thought."
"The second winner is Grey-X, for Meg too, in Attack of the 100 Foot Meg Griffin," said Brian. "When Meg became a giantess, she also learn many things about herself, her life and her family. These things made her grow as a person, pun intended."
"The third winner is Malcolm Fox, for just about any character, in Meg's Boyfriend/Family," said Peter. "I guess that most of the people on this site know about his impressive work."
"And the last winner is Tourmaline True, for Stewie in Years of Our Families," said Brian. "She developed Stewie in a very original way, showing how he changed as the years passed, going from being a baby, then a young boy, a teenager and finally an adult successful in business but needful of love."
"That was all in the Character Portrayal awards!" said the announcer. "Now, hosting the Original characters awards, Lois and Meg griffin!"
Lois and Meg walk onto the stage again.
Original Character Awards
1- Character Roles
Protagonist
"Every story needs a protagonist," said Lois.
"Most of the times it's a family member. It used to be Brian or Stewie, but many authors started to put me in the spotlight recently," said Meg with a smirk.
"Our first nominees were Mayhem and Chaos, the cats from the fic of the same name," said Lois. "But they were sadly disqualified for their unoriginality."
"A good candidate, and obvious winner, would be Zack Murdock," said Meg.
"True. It was an original concept by the time he was created," added Lois. "He's visible quirks and interesting personality, doesn't overtake the story, he works well with every character, and fits in the Family Guy universe so well that you could mistake him for a canon character."
"The judges also had another potentially good nominee: Eddie, from Meg and Eddie," said Meg. "Although, unlike Zack, the concept was used to death by the time Eddie showed up, Aldo managed to create a good and original character that meshes well with the story and the rest of the characters."
"That's why the judges decided to give the awards to both," said Lois. "Congratulations."
Support Character
"Although stories need protagonists, they also need a good cast of secondary characters," said Lois. "They improve the story and give it more variety.."
"And we have quite a few nominations here," said Meg. "The first one would be Ayumu, from Meg Apparition, a mysterious man that teaches Meg how to use her new powers."
"Another one would be Raven, Meg's gothic friend from Meg's Family," said Lois. "Raven is a great candidate: she has some interesting quirks, her personality makes her friendship with an unpopular girl like Meg not seem look forced, and had a great backstory."
"Our next candidates would be Jet and Janice fro Meg and Eddie," said Meg. "Although not as fleshed out as other characters, Aldo once again scores in originality."
"Next to them is Nathalie, Meg's friend from The Spellbook," said Lois. "Nathalie met Meg in a realistic way, and both befriended each other after going through a hard situation."
"Also, from Meg's Boyfriend/Family, there's Valarie," said Meg. "Malcolm's ability to write original characters shines again through this neo-hippie that often serves as voice of reason, but other times is good comic relief."
"Another one from The Spellbook is Miriam, the evil French witch," said Lois. "Lauded by Ander's fans as the funniest character from the fic."
"Our last nominee would be Cassandra Buchem, from Griffin's Eleven/The Silent Game/The Chocolate Girl " said Meg. "Another friend of mine that improves a story with her mere presence and went through wonderful character development."
"It was hard for the judges to choose a winner," said Lois, "so they choose two: Nathalie and Raven! Congratulations!"
Love Interest
"Love is something everybody need as well," said Meg. "So now we're going to reward those who are best at it!"
"Our first nominee is Zack Murdock," said Lois. "He pretty much started out as Meg's love interest. We could see why he was in love with her, and together, they had lots of fuzzy and moving moments. Sadly, due to Zack's next characterization - focused more on his personality and relationship with other characters (especially Peter) and lack of romantic moments - Zack was eliminated."
"Our next nominee was Matthew Kennedy, from The Spellbook," said Meg, "but he was discarded too, since the judges thought of him as 'somebody who's just there', as opposed to a real love interest."
"Our only female nominee is Jaina Ryder," said Lois. "But due to her excessive focus in comparison with Stewie, as well as her recent slutification, the judges dropped her nomination."
"And so, our last nominee and therefore winner is Eddie Osborn!" said Meg. "The judges found him to be the best suited for this award, since he really seems as a person in love, and his unorthodox relationship with Meg is the center of the story."
Voice of Reason
"Like Matt said before, even if Family Guy is a crazy world, there has to be somebody sane," said Lois.
"Our first nomination for this award was Zack Murdock," said Meg. "Although he fitted this role to a T in the early chapters, he began to leap more towards something close to comic relief . Therefore, Zack loses this award."
"That leaves us with the other nominee as winner: Matthew Kennedy!" said Lois. "Matt outstands in being one of the few characters who isn't crazy. His sanity balances the rest of the characters' madness pretty well, even if he is a bit of a non-entity at times."
Comic Relief
"Let's reward all the people that make us laugh," said Lois. "Surprisingly, we didn't have too many nominations here."
"Our first nominee is Zack Murdock," said Meg. "He went from love interest/straight man to comic relief, and he's really good at making people laugh. However, Zack's nomination was discarded for a better candidate…"
"We're talking about Miriam, Lorraine and Jeanne, the three witches from The Spellbook!" said Lois. "Despite being created as antagonists, there are a huge number of people who find them the funniest characters in the section, thanks to their evil personas clashing with the personalities they inherited from Meg, Jillian and me."
Parental Figure
"Young people need some guide from the elder ones," said Meg. "And, through this, a beautiful bond is created."
"We only had two nominees," said Lois, "but they both are so well written, that they decided to give the award to both!"
"The first winner is Ayumu, from Meg Apparition," said Meg. "He appears to help me to deal with the powers I gained on the story, as well as share some secrets regarding ghosts. He's been absent in the latest chapters, but he will appear for sure. Bonus points for his veil of mystery!"
"The other winner is Daphne, the nature witch from The Spellbook," said Lois. "She had a good pretext to be in the story, and teaches Meg and Rosie how to use their powers, while protecting them from harm."
Supernatural Being
"Everybody like supernatural beings," said Meg. "But people must be careful on how they introduce them, since FG is not a magical 'verse. Still, when done right, they can help make a great story!"
"Surprisingly, there are lots of nominations here, and we're going to skip directly to the winner," said Lois. "So Meg was right when she said that people like a lot supernatural stuff…"
"Despite the great number of nominations, there's a character that judges especially liked," said Meg. "We're talking about Life!"
"Exactly," said Lois. "Life is a very likeable character, funny and interesting. She has little screentime, but her moments in the spotlight are quite liked by everybody. Besides, everybody likes her not-so-quite-yet relationship with Death…"
2- Character Creation
Realism
"Okay, so, which original character is closer to be realistic?" asked Meg.
"We're going to find out," said Lois. "Matt Kennedy stands as a good candidate to take this award, but was discarded for the sake of better but still realistic characters."
"Same goes for Zack Murdock" said Meg. "However, his recent characterization moves away from this route, in order to be funnier, so Zack is out."
"Our next nominee is Cassandra Buchem," said Lois. "She has a good characterization, a defined personality and outstanding quirks, all of this without being labeled as non-realistic. That's why Cassie would be the best candidate to take this award."
"But we have one last nominee: Maddie Murdock," said Meg. "Now some of you would be confused, since Maddie displays uncommon intelligence for a 1 year old baby. However, she's realistic in the Family Guy context: she cares about playing and having fun the most, has little to no interest in boys and, unlike Stewie or other children, has to face many of the limitations of any 1 year old baby."
"That's why, once again, the judges decided to reward both Malcolm and Satine89! Congratulations!" said Lois.
Originality
"Being original is hard, but rewarding," said Meg. "Since people will thank to see something completely new."
"As you may expect, we have lots and lots of nominees here. But this time, even though there's only a single winner, we're going to talk about all of the deserving nominees," Lois pointed out.
"The first nominee is Miriam, the well-known witch," said Meg.
"One of Aldo's character, Sara Stone, was nominated as well," said Meg. "Let's quote directly the judge who promoted their nominations:"
Sarah Stone is original BECAUSE she's insane. In FG fiction, OCs tend to be milder and sweeter in order to fit in as a "love interest". I'm guilty of it, too; I'm not trying to be high-and-mighty here. But characters like Sarah and Miriam appeal to me because of how balls-to-the-wall crazy they are.
"Our third nominee is Zack Murdock," said Lois, "for being the first OC to start the whole Meg/OC thing."
"The next nominee is Cassie Buchem," said Meg, "for being a love interest for Quagmire, which is rare to see, apart from other things."
"Rosie Kennedy earned a nomination too," said Lois. "Although the concept of Meg having a daughter wasn't original by the time she was introduced, her combination magic powers and dynamic personality made her rather unique."
"Next nomination goes for Jaina Ryder," said Meg. "Although the judges don't like what Jaina does to other characters, and one judge in particular hated her transformation after the time jump, they really do like little Jaina. She's unusual in that, barring time-skip chapters in the first arc of WI2, she was very much an outsider trying to fit in. She was basically a little Meg with wings. And I think it's interesting that Bhaal would choose to make a character like Meg."
"Our next nomination is Rose Griffin, from Brian's Dilemma," said Lois. "Since there aren't too many stories in which Brian and I have kids together."
"However, although all of these characters are original in their own right, they all lost to another character…" said Meg.
"We're talking about Diego Montoya, Quagmire's Spaniard rival in Meg's Family!" said Lois. "The idea of Quagmire having a rival in sex and seduction pays off for Malcolm earning one more award. Congratulations!"
Fun
"Let's see which character can make people laugh the best," said Meg. "We also have quite a lot of nominees here."
"Miriam and her sisters earn another nomination," said Lois. "Their ability to make people laugh is priceless."
"Helen, the titular character of Stewie and the fat woman, got a nomination, too," said Lois.
"The judges also liked Life quite a lot," said Meg.
"However, our winners are our last two nominees: Corvette and Lobster, from Meg's Family!" announced Lois.
Personality
"Which character has the best personality?" asked Meg.
"Zack Murdock was submitted for this category," said Lois. "He has an interesting personality that makes him very likeable and funny."
"However, we have a better nominee," said Meg. "We're talking about Cassandra Buchem, who is a beacon of great personality and development. Congratulations to Satine89!"
Interaction
"Now it's turn for the characters that best interact with other characters, especially canon," said Lois.
"The judges discussed this a lot, and decided to give this award not to an OC, but an author instead," said Meg. "We're talking about Malcolm Fox, who stands out in this category, no matter which character uses. Congratulations!"
Compatibility
"This award goes for the original character that fits the Family Guy universe best than anybody else," said Lois. "Our winner, once again, is Malcolm Fox, for Zack, Maddie, Tilly and CJ. All of them have excellent characterizations and mesh well with the canon cast."
Likeability
"So, let's talk about characters which are hard to hate," said Meg. "We have a bunch of nominations"
"Interesting enough, the first three nominees are Maddie Murdock, Rosie Kennedy and Jaina Ryder from, the three virtual seasons," said Lois. "Given that they're cute one year old little girls, who wouldn't love them?"
"Yeah, they got it pretty easy," said Meg. "When it comes to adults, we have Miriam, which is notable because she's an antagonist, although her hijinks won her many fans."
"However, none of them are the winner," said Lois. "Because our winner is Valarie Murdock, from Meg's Boyfriend/Family!"
"That's right, mom," said Meg. "If there's something true about Valarie, is that she's very likeable. She's usually very nice without being a goody-two shoes, and provides lots of funny bits."
Balance
"To end the Original Characters awards, let's reward the most balanced character," said Lois. "This is a character that is a good mix of all the previously mentioned qualities."
"After taking a look at the results, it wasn't hard to choose the winner," said Meg. "Zack and Maddie Murdock take this award!"
"That was all from the Original Character awards, ladies and gentlemen," said the announcer. "Now, presenting the author awards, Stewie Griffin and Rose Mary Kennedy!"
Stewie and Rosie were welcomed by a loud applause as well.
Author Awards
Character Accuracy
"This award will determine the author that portrays best the biggest number of canon characters," said Rosie.
"Malcolm Fox was an obvious nominee," said Stewie. "He grasped the essence of many characters rather well, especially those which most authors have troubles with, but on the other hand, he still has to improve on a selected few but important characters."
"Another nominee is Liana Wolfe," said Rosie. "She proved to be a talented writer and diesplayed great skill while writing canon characters. Unfortunately, we could appreciate this a bit more if she wrote for other characters than Meg more often. Maybe she could pleasantly surprise us in the future."
"I don't like her," said Stewie. "I know that Meg fans aren't too kind with me, but she went too far!"
"Come on, don't be such a baby," said Rosie. Stewie glared at her.
"The next nominee is Ander Arias," said Stewie irritably, still glaring at Rosie. "Everybody knows the huge effort Ander puts on writing canon elements as closely to the television show as possible, and keeping characters in wasn't an exception."
"Our last nominee would be Grey-X," said Rosie. "He doesn't use as many characters as Malcolm, but his story's cast isn't small either. One of the many things his story is praised for is his excellent characterization."
"Therefore, he was the best candidate for this award," said Stewie. "Congratulations!"
Character Variety
"This award will go to the author that uses the highest number of characters in his or her story," said Rosie.
"Malcolm Fox gets a special mention for using practically EVERY CHARACTER who exists," said Stewie.
"That's not true" said Rosie. "Here is a list of characters Malcolm hasn't used (yet):
Patrick Pewterschmidt, Dylan Flannigan (mentioned), Tracy Flannigan, The Campbell Family, Muriel Goldman, Greased Up Deaf Guy, God, Jesus, Santos & Pasqual, Stacy Tucker, Buzz Killington, Dr. Kaplan, Gloria Ironbachs, and The Black Knight…
"And other characters that Malcolm won't use for obvious reasons: Loretta Brown, Cleveland Brown Jr., Derek Wilcox, Paddy Tanniger and Mr. Weed. …Wow, is easier to name the characters that Malcolm hasn't used yet instead of those who has," said Rosie in surprise.
"Congratulations, Malcolm, you won the Ultimate Character Variety Award," said Stewie.
"However, the judges decided to create the Relative Character Variety Award, for people who still use a large amount of characters in some sort of prominent and balanced way," said Rosie. "The judges decided that Grey-X, whose story focuses mainly on the Griffin family, but includes many townspeople, was the best candidate. Congratulations!"
Character Balance
"Balancing the screentime between characters is a hard task," said Stewie. "But, when done right, the results really pay off."
"The first nominee is Malcolm Fox," said Rosie. "However, the huge number of characters he uses plays against him this time, since many characters spend a lot of time in the shadow while others are in the spotlight."
"The second nominee is Ander Arias," said Stewie, "who is disqualified for the same reasons."
"The next nominee is Grey-X" said Rosie. "Despite having a clear protagonist, all the characters have a defined role, enough development and none of them are out of place. So Grey-X was deemed the winner. Congratulations!"
Plot Originality
"Liana-Wolfe sweeps this award," said Rosie. "Challenging the virtual seasons, Meg-revenges-agaisnt-everybody fics, Brian/Stewie slash fics and parodies, Liana came out with an imaginative and original story. Despite the fact that some people may think that Meg gaining powers is anything but original, I'd tell them to read her awesome story and see how she uses this concept. Congratulations, Liana!"
Description
"Since there are many people that stands out at description, we decided to give the award to all the nominees, since they're great at this field in their own way," said Stewie.
"The first nominee is Bhaalspawn," said Rosie, "for his marvelous take on action scenes and dramatic situations."
"The second nominee is Tourmaline True," said Stewie. "Her description style is so accurate that you could feel exactly how the characters of her stories feel, as if you are the characters."
"The next nominee is Liana Wolfe," said Rosie. "Worth of mention her great emphasis on details without boring the reader, good depiction of action scenes, and general effort put in making the story enjoyable."
"Other nominee is Masquerade Angel," said Stewie. "She's really great at exposing the characters' emotions, how tense, happy or dramatic a situation is."
"Our final nominee is Satine89" said Rosie. "You can tell that she loves description. She does an awesome job at it, putting a lot of emphasis on details like Liana, and giving the feeling that you're reading a real novel."
"So congratulations for this well deserved award!" said Stewie.
Dialogue-Description Balance
"As we did before, we're going to reward to all the nominees for their excellent job on this field," announced Rosie.
"The first nominee is Haylias," said Stewie. "He sucked at this at first, but as the story progressed he learned from his mistakes and anybody could appreciate his improvement on this field."
"The next nominee is Satine89," said Rosie. "Not only she's great at description, but also doesn't go overboard with extensive paragraphs of useless information, finding a perfect balance between dialogue and description."
"We could say the same about our next nominee, Liana Wolfe," said Stewie. "Despite her emphasis on detailing and description, doesn't bore the reader and find a good balance between dialogue lines and description paragraphs as well."
"Our last nominee is Masquerade Angel," said Rosie. "And little can we say now we haven't mentioned yet about her writing skill."
"The judges decided that Liana Wolfe and Masquerade Angel balanced dialogue and description the best! Congratulations to both of them!" Stewie said.
"And that was the Author Awards!" said the announcer. "Now, let's see the final part of this show: The Best Fanfic Award!"
Best Fanfic-Top 10
So, here we are. This is what everybody was expecting for. Instead of a character, I decided to host the top 10 by myself. Before coming up with this ranking, Satine89, Liana-Wolfe and I wrote our personal top 10 and gave scores to each story to create the first list of nominees. The top ten were then selected, and each judge ranked them from 1st to 9th place – no author could vote for their own story. This second list is the list posted here. I'm sure some people will not be happy with the ranking, but well, nobody forces them to be reading this. Well, let's go:
Number Ten: Brian and Me, by Aldovas
Ander ranked this story #9
Satine89 ranked this story #9
Liana-Wolfe ranked this story #4
Despite it atrocious grammar and short length, there was one judge (guess who) who thought that this story deserved a spot in the final ranking. However, flawed as it may be, Brian and Me is a very sweet and enjoyable story if can go past the script format and grammar mistakes. It greates achievement was using a cliché pairing in an imaginative way.
Number Nine: Whispering Illusion 1, by Bhaalspawn
Ander ranked this story #8
Satine89 ranked this story #6
Liana-Wolfe ranked this story #8
Whispering Illusion 1 is a fairly original Meg/OC story that stands out in its impressive grasp of drama. Worth of mention the slow but endearing development of Meg and Matt's friendship, the tense moments and great characterization.
Satine would like to add that, despite the really poor characterization of Peter in the story, it's a real tear-jerker, and she loves the very touching relationship between Matt and Meg in the story.
Number Eight: Years of Our Families, by Tourmaline True
Ander ranked this story #7
Satine89 ranked this story #7
Liana-Wolfe ranked this story #5
Like I said before, this is probably the best time skip story I've ever read. Deep characterization of all the characters, awesome writing style and tense dramatic moments make this story the one of the greatest and most enjoyable Brian/Stewie story of this section. Worth of mention its original storytelling, in which we see how all the characters change through the years.
Satine would like to add that it's probably the best-written slash fic she's ever seen in any section, much less in the Family Guy section.
Number Seven: Meg Apparition, by Liana Wolfe
Ander ranked this story #4
Satine89 ranked this story #5
A crossover with Danny Phantom in which Meg gains ghostly powers. But there's more. A lot more. With these new powers, Meg also lives through new experiences that force her to evolve and change. It has a marvelous writing style, meshed with subtle strings of humor, and a mysterious and interesting plot.
Satine would like to add that she really loves how Liana herself becomes a character in many of the chapters, for humorous effect.
Number Six: Lust, Affairs and Love, by Masquerade Angel
Ander ranked this story #3
Satine89 ranked this story #8
Liana-Wolfe ranked this story #7
I wish this awesome story had a better position, but it seems that Satine and Liana didn't like this story as much as I did, since melodrama isn't their thing. Although it starts with a rather unoriginal premise, its successive plot twist and character development quickly draws the interest of the readers. This story shines for its dramatic element, large cast of characters, fuzzy and heart-warming moments, and overall good writing.
Number Five: Griffins's Eleven, by Satine89
Ander ranked this story #5
Liana-Wolfe ranked this story #1
An homage/parody of a well known movie, Griffin's Eleven is known for its impressive writing style, almost resembling a professional novel, with huge emphasis on description, details and characterization, as well as featuring one of the most endearing OCs I've ever seen. It also stands out for its take on some characters, which are used in a very original and imaginative ways.
Number Four: Meg's Boyfriend/Family, by Malcolm Fox
Ander ranked this story #2
Satine89 ranked this story #4
Liana-Wolfe ranked this story #9
Once again, it's a pity that such an awesome story that created a whole trend isn't even amongst the first three. However, Liana-Wolfe ranked this story so low due to its sequel's decline in quality.
Anyway, there's little to say about these two stories I haven't say before, featuring the largest cast of characters I've ever seen, funny original characters, jokes that will make you laugh so hard that it hurts, and interesting plot ideas. It already became an instant classic and reference of good writing regarding humor.
Number Three: The Spellbook, by Ander Arias
Satine89 ranked this story #2
Liana-Wolfe ranked this story #2
The Spellbook started out as a bit of a magical revenge story, but morphed into a very funny, creative supernatural story in the vein of a classic magical girl tale. Though some chapters are definitely shakier than others, the excellent characterization of the main characters, and the dedication shown to keeping each character acting properly, raises the story's quality greatly. Plus, it has the three witches, who need their own spin-off.
Number Two: Her, by Sonofdragonfly
Ander ranked this story #6
Satine89 ranked this story #1
Liana-Wolfe ranked this story #6
The only one shot that made it to the top ten. Okay Satine, I hope you're happy, you ranked this story number one and ended second. Pretty good for a one shot!
However, this position isn't undeserved. This would be the proof that a story doesn't need to be long in order to be not good, but great. Her is a beacon of great writing, exploring two characters that seems to be different in a very unintuitive way, to find out that they're much closer to each other than they thought. The description is just sublime, as well as the characterization of both protagonists.
Satine would like to add that yes, she is very happy.
Number One: Attack of the 100 foot Meg Griffin, by Grey-X
Ander ranked this story #1
Satine89 ranked this story #6
Liana-Wolfe ranked this story #3
While doing this award show, I split most of the awards between several winners because I thought it was unfair to give the "best story/OC/author at whatever category" to just one nominee. And I'd wish I could give the #1 spot to more stories, but sadly I can't. However, Attack of the 100 foot Meg Griffin is one of those stories which deserved to be ranked #1.
The story is simply great. The description is awesome, it has funny bits of humor and parody, although the author knows when humor is out of place. Despite being a parody, this story is incredibly deep and profound, exploring characters in such way nobody thought before. When you finish a chapter, you had this sensation of wondering what's going to happen next, even without resorting to a cliffhanger. I could go on for days saying all the awesome things this story has, but I guess that it'd be redundant. Anyway, congratulations to Grey-X for this.
Well, that was all, friends (XD). I thought that you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed writing it. It took us several months, but we're really proud of our work. From here, I'd like to thank Satine89 and Liana-Wolfe for their priceless contribution to this project. Good job, girls.
