The Protectors of the Plot Continuum and the Official Fanfiction Universities love good fanfiction, and have been known to go to such lengths as writing it ourselves! We have seen a lot of talent wander through our corridors over the years, and are proud that other people have recognized our efforts. Below are some of the writing awards and commendations that members of the Canon Protection Initiative have won. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list; additions are welcome.
PPCer Writing Awards and Commendations[]
Henneth Annûn Story Archive[]
From the website: "HASA has a review process that allows authors to submit their works to a nine-member anonymous review panel. The panel reads over the story and decides if it is an exceptional or outstanding work of fanfiction. Those who pass review are given the 'Reviewed' status and are marked with a blue star."
* This author has written over 100 stories, 49 of which have Review Status. Not surprisingly, she is in charge of Grammar Boot Camp at OFUM.
