Blue Moon Awards
Qualifying Fan Works
Stories, Sites and Works of Art do NOT have to have sexual content to qualify for this award....however if works of a more adult nature offend you...you are in the wrong place.
In general we are looking for any type of fan work; written (any length), art (hand-drawn, manip, video, etc.) and/or websites that have an adult flare. Written works with a rating of "R" or higher are greatly encouraged and are expected to be the bulk of this program.
We seek never to impinge on anyone's Freedom of Speech or Freedom of Expression, we believe that all Artists should be free to Create Art in whatever manner they see fit to do so in so long as no physical being is harmed in the pursuit of Art. We realize that, like Beauty, Art is also in the eye of the beholder and that, as adults, you should be free to like whatever it is that you like. We do not hide behind the guise of 'good taste' as we believe that is only a thinly veiled and polite form of censorship. As such, you will not be penalized if the story you would like to nominate contains any of the following:
Abuse--physical, emotional and/or mentalAddiction--drug, alcohol or other
Adult Dramatic Content
Erotica
Incest (consensual or otherwise)
Kink
Multiple Sexual Partners
Rape
Sex
Sensuality
Torture
Violence and other adult themes
All of the above content is allowed in this program.
Works for a general audience may be submitted for this award but are not greatly encouraged. If possible, works with an "R" and/or "NC/17" rating will be placed in their own categories with "PG-13" separate therefrom if possible. Anything "G" rated will automatically be placed into a General Audiences category.
ALL nominated works must be on websites that are open to the public, no mailing list stories please. Nothing on a website which requires membership or a password to gain entry. Any story or artwork nominated that does not display a working email link or contact box to the author/creator will be disqualified. We must have a way to contact the nominee. Please see the Rules Page for further information
NON-Qualifying Works
We are NOT accepting:1. Parody Works
2. Real Person Fic
3. WIPs (Works in Progress)
4. Crossover Works* *Crossovers-this type of work was added to the Non-Accepted List on April 24, 2008. We had thought that was self-explanatory since 'Crossover' wasn't listed as a category choice to begin with, our bad and we apologize. We are trying to keep the focus of this program on Stargate SG-1 and its very talented and creative fans rather than bringing in other fandoms at this time. However, to be fair, all crossover nominations presented to us before April 24, 2008 were accepted and will go forward. Those received after that date are ineligible.
Categories
Categories will be selected by the nominee after being notified of their nomination. There will be as many categories as nominations allow for with the minimum being three nominations. If we can't find a category for a particular work we will try as hard as we can to find another appropriate category for that work.
Foreseeable FanFiction Categories
With much thanks and appreciation to the responding nominees who were asked to choose two categories from the list below
and to suggest their own first if they didn't see an appropriate one listed, these categories were updated on April 24, 2008. New choices are denoted by a *
Action/Adventure
*Alternative Universe
Angst
Drabble
Drama
*Erotica--for works containing stronger sexual material than your average Romance piece
FemSlash
*Horror
Humor
Hurt/Comfort
*Kink/Multiples--for works with threesomes and moresomes and other kinky themes such as golden showers and heavy bondage. Works which contain a love triangle
that culminates in a threesome (or similiar) should be placed in the Erotica category.
Romance
Series
Slash
Suspense
Stories with Original Characters are greatly encouraged. If enough stories containing Original Characters as main characters are nominated there will be a special category for 'Best Original Character' opened when voting time comes. All accepted nominated NOVELS will be placed into their proper categories AND in the Best Novel category. Series must be nominated on their own and in their entirety to qualify for the Best Series award, however, individual stories within a series may be freely nominated WITHOUT nominating the entire series. The 'stand alone' rule does NOT apply in this program.
Works of FanArt
Any type of fanart may be submitted; wallpapers, icons, photomanips, hand-drawn art, hand-painted art, videos, songs, et al.FanArt may be considered Adult in Nature due to:
Craftsmanship
Partial nudity
Full nudity
Erotica
Strong Emotional Content
Violence
If you're unsure please just drop us an email or nominate it anyway giving us some further information in the comment box.
Web Sites
Entire sites of fic or art may be nominated. Again, if there are enough nominations this category will be split between those sites which are smaller or more intimate and those that focus on a larger portion of the fandom.
