Both "The Story of the Hard Tribe" & "Mahala" are still viewable in PDF format. Go to http://www.virtualvillagers.com Under Community, click on Fan Fiction.

I can convert word to PDF fairly easily. It is an excellent format for stories that involve graphics (screen shots). Maybe we should consider asking to move our "best of" to that format, IF, we go ahead with it. So far, the voting has been a bit slower than I had hoped for.

Aren't the individual sites like virtualvillagers.com to be taken down in due course, to be replaced by the one LDW site? If so, I hope the fan fiction there is not lost.

I'll make sure that nothing is lost as we shuffle web sites around.

I hope that the Best of Fan Fiction will stay on here though. Maybe if You labeled the topic as sticky and moved it to the fan fiction forum, You might get a better and larger response to this wonderful idea. Also it would be from other authors too. Maybe the Best fan fictions could also have a picture thread, too.

I think that in Best of Fan Fiction, you should have a link that people can click to nominate a fanfiction for the Best of Category. Also, you could have sub categories, such as Best Humor Fanfic, or Best Overall Fanfic.

I like Kikian's idea about the sub forums a lot.

Great idea.By this we can easily know what other people think about it.

Great idea! If I don't have time to read ALL the stories in the Fan Fiction forum I can check out the Best of Fan Fiction sub forum.

100% agree!

The "Best of Fan Fiction" forum is going to happen, but right now the admins are all tied up on getting VV5 released. When it happens, it will be a sub forum of Fan Fiction, much like the comments sub forum.

Oh wow! That'll be awesome! I'll make it my new goal to write a fanfic that gets in!
