Celebrating Our Favorite Twilight Fics & Art

Dear Twiauthors, Twiartists and Twireaders,

The HRA is working to build a different concept in Twifanfiction and Twifanart support and pimping. While awards will remain focused on Twifcs that don't include Edward & Bella as main pairing, the HRA wants to celebrate the best romances created and recreated in the Twilight fanfiction and fanart world; including Edward & Bella's.

This way, canon, and non canon pairings will receive a whole week dedicated to them.

Starting this Friday 27th, each week, the HRA will celebrate the romance depicted in artworks and fanfics of an specific pairing, like Edward & Bella, Jasper & Bella, Carlisle & Esme, etc. The pairing will have a whole week dedicated to their stories, banners, or illustrations.

How is it going to work?
Authors, readers and artists are going to be free to submit their best creations related to the "Pairing of the week" through a form posted in this blog. -Each pairing will be announced with anticipation via Twitter.

After a quick evaluation, every author and artist will have their stories, and artwork included in the blog's library or gallery AND the work with its respective credit, will be tweeted during a whole week.

How are the non-canon pairings going to be announced?
There will be a whole week dedicated to non-canon pairings as well. During the non-canon pairings' week, authors and artists are going to be free to submit any non canon pairing story or fanart. Ex. Carlisle & Bella, Jasper & Bella, Jasper & Edward, etc

IMPORTANT- Every pairing must be the 'lead pairing' in the submitted story.

And the winners are...

Nominations Open!

The Hopeless Romantic Awards validation team would like to thank you in advance for taking your time to nominate your favorite Twilight fanfictions that do not include Edward & Bella as the main pairing.

Please, we would like to encourage you to the read the rules first and take a little time to look at the Categories' explanations before nominating your favorites.

Since one of our goals is to promote the reading of these fanfics, we'll be only validating stories that have been updated within a period of 2 months, otherwise they are not elegible. (One shots and Completed fics are the exception to this rule, they can be nominated no matter the time they were published or completed.)

Also, you don't have to nominate for every category, just the ones you want to.

Nominations are now finally open and you will find the link to the virtual voting ballot under the Nominate-Category tab.
