Created by the masterminds Gustariana and hmonster4, the purpose of the Independent Twific Awards (The Indies) is to highlight and promote the best "hidden gems" of the Twilight fanfic world. And what is an Indie story? It is a well written piece of fan fiction that has less than 30 reviews per chapter for a work in progress, or less than 1000 reviews for a completed work. Go here for the Twilighted Forum thread to read more about it. The website will be ready soon, Gusta tells me, and I'll link it when it's up. |

Gusta didn't want me to mention anything until they had developed the idea a little more.
Chill, Caitlin. It's going to get mentioned next time around.

What an awesome idea. Now, I feel guilty for not being more daring with my reading habits.  |

I highly recommend fic diving on FFn.
It'll change your reading habits drastically.

Oh cool! One of my all time favorite fics only had 197 reviews completed. She's actually going back to edit and repost soon.

The site will be up sometime this week! Gusta's thinking Wednesday or Thursday, and I'll post the link when it goes live. As one of the judges, I get privy-information to what's going on. Below you'll see the categories they're going to have. There are a bunch of rules about the review count and how that's going to be handled, but basically if a WIP has 30 or less reviews per chapter or a completed fic has less than 1k reviews, it should be eligible. More info to come! |

It's soooo freakin' pretty! I just stared at all the pretty colors for a few minutes before I realized that there were words to read.
I love this idea. It's very cool.

Woot!
Somebody nominated Austen's Twilight! I wish I knew who it was so that I could let them know that they're my new best friend.
Do you think the fact that one of the judges is named JAustenLover will help my chances?
No?
Darn it.
*and a few minutes later*
Okay woah, Alternate Ending for New Moon got nominated too. Huh.
... this is unexpected news.
