Description: We are a writing community that focuses on the Fantasy and Science Fiction Genres, though we accept most any type of work. We offer a place for aspiring authors to post there works and get valuable feedback, as well as a place for readers to find new interests.

Reason for Nomination: We are somewhat unique in our approach to handling stories in that we use eFiction as our archive solution. This integration is nearly seamless, providing not only a single login to the site but consistent look across all areas by using a custom skin that pulls from the vBulletin templates.

In addition, the link now works both ways, providing random stories in vBulletin, as well as a list of the authors posted stories in there profile. The profile page is still being reworked and will soon contain all information on that author; the eventual goal is to replace the eFiction profile page with vBulletin.

vBAdvanced acts as the portal page, providing recently added stories and updated news items on the sites growth.

Since the site opened in 2002 we have constantly evolved and grown into a place that I am very proud to call my corner of the web.

I-Mod Productions

URL:
www.i-mod-productions.com

Description:

I-Mod Productions is a young Modder community Network, which supports Modders on their way, give them private subforums to work and one to advertise their work.

It is a Network, where Modders can swap their knowlegde and create wonderful stuff!

As we are close to the Software Company Stardock, we want to bridge from Modding to Game Design and help Modders to create their own Game, based on Stardock-Games Basics.

With a Team of 8 Developers, we have a quite large knowlegde and want to make Modding Fun and Successfull!


Reason for Nomination:

In nearly one Year, we have reached much in Modding, gave Modders new hope and work together with Stardock on their new Games.

Starting a Mod Team is difficult, more than 60% fail in creating a successfull Mod Team which could have brought out an amazing Mod. This is a fact we want to change.

First tries shows us that it was quite a good idea, and people see a chance in it.

Allthough we have just started and have less active Users, our social, free help is there, and we want Modders to get to know that we want to help them.

If this Idea and belief is something you can compete for, then we will!

We hope our work and beliefs find an echo
