So everyone got the nominations are closing tomorrow right for the You Want Blood Awards, right? (if not, click on the banner above to be taken to the site to nominate.  Put in I don’t read this in any spot you don’t have a nomination.)

And everyone is aware that we are going to have to go through all those nominations, and have to attack the internet to determine if they meet the rules… (If not, yes we do this.  We go through each nomination and go to the sites to determine if they are valid.)

This takes ALOT of time.  So to help streamline it, I have been working on that rec database.  The stories from Fanfiction are finally in (not all of mine, I still have to add in all the rest from there of the different fandoms I follow).

There are so far 700+ stories in there.  Again, not all TB/SVM.  Some are crossovers.  Some are from before I concentrated on TB/SVM.  But alot of them are from MissAliceSub who is taking time out of her free time this week to help.  She is starting at the bottom of the list.   But it really takes alot of time.  We copy all the story descriptions, the html for the specific stories, as well as determine who the pairings are, and if it is a one shot, or multi chaptered.  If it is complete and when it was finished (for the contest) and when last updated (again for the contest).  Also, fans want to know if the story is complete.  I can’t keep up with updating when you guys update, that would be full time job!  I already have one in writing.  lol

It looks like when I am done, that this may actually be bigger than anyone of us thought it would be, so there are rumors of it being moved to a site to make searching for new stories to read much easier.  I know the Twilight and the TB/SVM are very popular, but I am adding Harry Potter to the mix and we will see.  But I am thinking there will be well over a 1,000 stories in this rec page.  Once the story is complete, it will be up to the authors to have their stories (And yes it looks like you can also search by authors too on the new one, but again, I am only hearing rumors from the great one 4Padfoot!!!) updated besides the times we can go through and check.  We will be happy to switch the focus of a story to another site if the authors let us know.  Right now, where we find them is where we are putting them.

I know I go on and on about this, but you guys should see the stats I see on my pages, and you guys visit the rec pages alot.

TO help us out, for the TB/SVM side especially (since we are the ones that spread out across WordPress!) please contact me on filling out a spreadsheet.  I know for me, it is easy peasy to add my stuff in, but for another to come in and check out the dates and so forth would not be so easy.  Some people post identically on Fanfiction and other sites, some post on WordPress only, and yet others, like me, post on my site first.

So, please help us out, and help get the You Want Blood Awards out for voting by helping us out.  Thanks…
