I’m tremendously flattered to have been offered the chance to be one of the judges for this year’s fanfictionidol. It’s open to all fandoms, and to complete unknowns as well as to BNFs. I expect it to be a very rewarding experience. Naturally I can’t help hoping that someone from Sanguinity fandom will place first, but since the winner is determined by voting, I’m not at all worried that my preferences will influence the outcome.

I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed, but fandoms accumulate not just fanon but stylistic quirks and sexual preferences, and these sometimes survive migrations to new fandoms. Looking at PrinceC’s body of work, for instance, I can easily pinpoint which fandoms he was writing in at the moment he gravitated towards Sanguinity, and I can even guess at his preferred sub-genres and pairings.

Of course the real question is: as more Sanguinity fanfiction gets written, will consensus emerge as to our own tropes, kinks, and fanon characterizations? I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
