User's Choice Awards Nominations: Best Ongoing Fic

[Skippy]

Hello!

Nominations will open tonight at Dec 1, 2024 at 6:59 PM , and will remain open until Dec 15, 2024 at 6:59 PM .

For those of you who are looking for more information about the Users' Choice Awards generally, you can find it in this thread!

In short, the Users' Choice Awards are where we come together as a community to chose our favourite creative works on SV. It is a time for our most popular and beloved quests and stories to come up and take a bow.

The Awards take place in two phases. The Nomination Phase allows any user to nominate up to five quests or stories hosted on SV, across eight categories including this one.

The five most-nominated threads in each category will then go forward to the Voting Phase, where one will be selected as the winner!

Eligibility for Nomination to Best Ongoing Fic
In order to be eligible for nomination, a thread must:

• Be hosted on Sufficient Velocity.
• Be a user fic.
• Have updated on or after January 1st, 2024.
• Not have declined nomination by the author or QM.
• Not have won the Award in a previous year.

If you are still unsure about whether something meets the eligibility criteria, refer to the main announcement thread FAQ for clarification.

How to Nominate
You make your nominations by making a post in this thread. The rules are as follows:

• You may nominate up to five threads.
• You may edit your post up to the closing date, when the nominations will be counted. This is Dec 15, 2024 at 6:59 PM .
• Each nomination must consist of only the copy-pasted titles of the threads you wish to nominate, formatted like Quest votes, for example:

How To Correctly Format Your Nomination

Copy the thread title exactly as it appears:

​

Then format it like a Quest vote:

[X] The 2023 User's Choice Awards

• If your nomination is not formatted correctly, there is a risk it may not be counted.

Where to Discuss Nominations
Discussion in the thread is welcome! This includes within your nominations post, just please try to keep any discussion separated from your nominations with a paragraph break or linebreak, as you would in a Quest vote. This makes it easier for the Holiday Elves we will be kidnapping volunteering to help us tally at the end. Thanks so much, and we look forward to seeing your nominations!

[X] Hyphen (Pokemon Emerald)
[X] Shaded Silk (Pokemon Isekai OC)

Hyphen is back. Astra continues to be a treat. Stone deserves a hand for stepping up in delivering a heartfelt speech about picking yourself up again after you fall down. Even in the face of Astra dropping multiple archeological discoveries on him and telling him he needs to go fight underwater criminals.

Shaded Silk has caught my interest being recommended by that guy who wrote Hyphen up thread. I'm a fan of Pokémon fics that look into the integration of Pokémon with daily life. I like the implementation of how predation is balanced and explained without it becoming a death world where the wildlife will kill you at the slightest opportunity. Definitely a strong entry for the author's first published fic.

[X] Fallow Fields [Naruto SI]

Zarinthel is so fucking good, man. Their ability to manage mood and tone, especially for the purposes of maximising emotional impact, might genuinely be unmatched on the forum. Incredible writer.

 

[Randino Treviani]

[X] All Wo-rk and No Play: An Abyssal's Trials in the Job Market (KC)

I've only discovered this today, but there is something positively magical about the growing headache that is operation absolute railroad, and the Abyssal carrier responsible for it. I can't recommend this enough.

[Kaiya]

[X] Bone And Amber: The Inside Story On The Return Of The Dinosaurs this one is good
