Where are the SV awards? I'm curious to check them out. I might find something I'll enjoy, for one thing; for another, I'm strangely fascinated. There was an awards event in the second or third year of SV fandom, which was the most egalitarian award design I'd ever heard of; people didn't vote by pushing a button, they voted through discussion. So all the nominees could be discussed and the authors could get plenty of love. I liked the idea -- because once you've reached a certain level, it's nearly impossible to choose "best." Much easier to say, "This group was really, really good." (Also, I love discussion, and was looking forward to reading what people had to say.)
The people holding the event were nearly run out of town on a rail, and the event was boycotted. Emotionally speaking, I withdrew from fandom after that, and never really went back.
