So I made a post about this before, but

You don't need any experience to judge, so anyone can leave a comment HERE saying they want to help.
Nominations are from April 20 to May 20, and judging will be from May 21 to July 10.
So I'm slowly but kind of not so much surely going through my fics to judge for the Absence of Light Awards...

If you'd like to help out, you can be a judge, pimp the site, or nominate once nominations are open - leave a comment here to notify the team.
And remember that awards are what makes fandoms great - it's important to spread the love. Plus, they're fun! :P
You should definitely all go and vote for Spike in the Final Four of Fandom Steel Cage Match, because if you do, he could be voted best character evar!1!
AND IF YOU DON'T, FRIGGING DEAN FROM SUPERNATURAL WILL WIN. WHAT THE FUCK. THAT SHOW DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY GIRLS.
LOL, not that I have fandom hate. I really don't.
But seriously! They actually have to genderswap if they want femslash!
ALSO: VOTE FOR BARNEY FROM HIMYM BECAUSE HE IS PLAYED BY NPH AND WE ALL LOVE NPH. OR POSSIBLY BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY WATCH HIMYM.

I'm a judge at the new BtVS angst/dark awards site, Absence of Light. It looks like it will be pretty excellent - so offer help either with judging or banners if you can!
If you can't, please spread the love with nominations - they make you feel better even as they do the same for the nommed authors. All it takes is a few clicks and keystrokes, and you'll have done your part to help keep the fandom alive and recognized!
This is probably pretty redundant, since I assume anyone reading this already knows about the Horrible Awards. But maybe you don't! And you should know about them, because they're wonderful and I'm going to be a judge.
