I love, love, love our generous, talented writers and welcome every opportunity to celebrate them!!
That said, any kind of 'best anything awards' feels unnecessarily competitive and potentially very divisive. This hiatus is going to be challenging enough for this comm; I would not encourage anything that could be hurtful to anyone - especially those gracious enough to share their stories.
I don't think I had anything hurtful in mind when I thought of this. Sorry if you all felt this way.
Like most, I appreciate all of the authors and betas of this fandom and I think I was just searching for a way to show appreciation to them. However, I understand that this may not be possible because of the huge amount of talent that is out there.
As a reader I find the idea spectacular there is just some great works out there that I'd love to celebrate. But as a writer I'm a little more apprehensive because I've seen these types of things get out of hand before. Besides all that though, I find the idea appealing! And it might be because I haven't written anything for the com in a while so don't feel like I'd be up there :D
