| The Genesis Awards |
Genesis Awards is a series of awards for fan fiction authors in the Final Fantasy VII fandom. They are for pieces of fiction that "show a certain standard of grammar and formatting, relevance to canon and characterisation." Genesis Awards was devised by Stradivari, who based it on awards of a similar system, the Artemis Fowl fandom's Orion Awards. The first set of awards began in 2006, with Stradivari as the administrator. At the end of 2006 when Stradivari left, adminship was handed over to Lily Silver, who ran the first set of awards from 2006 to 2007. The second set of awards were partially run by Pied Flycatcher, to whom Lily Silver handed her adminship on her leave of the awards in 2008. Pied Flycatcher left The Genesis Awards in 2009 and, after a brief contemplating period, handed her adminship to Woodster, who will run the remainder of the second awards, with Strange and Intoxicating -rsa- as co-Admin. Lady Valtaya and Marilena also left the awards at the same time. Due to this unforseen loss of multiple judges, the awards deadline has been pushed back to June this year.
