I've started to fill out my ballot for the Smallville Fandom Creativity Awards - so many choices! Unfortunately I stopped bookmarking my favourites half way through last year so I don't have a "short list" of more recent fics for reference. This means I'm going to have to do a whole lot of rereading, but there are worse fates I suppose.

Here's a by no means complete list of who I'm looking at:

• twinsarein - I did a speed re-read through twins' list and think I'm going with long-time favourite Shifting Paradigm for Clex/drama/long/overall, Zuzu's Petals for medium and It's Curtains for short/humour
• tallihensia at alatrific - I'll have to look again at the more recent stuff, but it's going to be hard to knock off the Not A Villain Series, Twilight's Secret, Growing Up Familiar and Office Space
• rednihilist - the Colin Luthor verse for series and Teenage Wasteland are going to be strong contenders
• me_ya_ri - The Long Road and The Kryptonian Historian are definitely in the hunt
• danceswithgary - the Kent Identity for best adaptation is an obvious one, but I know there will be others, especially in the short categories since I love her drabbles
• ladydreamer - No One Noticed the Cat and Must Be Dreaming are in contention
• josephina_x - the good news is that she's new to the fandom so I don't have to go back far. The bad news is I really like them all!
• nonotthatone - Carol for one.
• sue_dreams - I don't know how I'm going to choose between these all
• bradygirl_12 - ditto
• phoenixnz - ditto in spades
• babydee1 - ditto, though The Perfect Gift and Agenda have a headstart
• ellyfanfiction - yikes! 79 eligible fics!
• marikology - Stress Fracture comes to mind
• firebunny - she's going to be hard to beat in the humour category IMO
• legendarytobes - lots of lovely Chlark to catch up on
• svgurl - eligible works for a whole bunch of ships
• xenokattz - Lois and Clark's Wedding... comes instantly to mind
• plnunn - how to choose?
• twilighthdfan - ditto!
• roxymissrose - sadly no longer as active in Smallville, but still some lovely stories to consider
• babettew54 - lots and lots of Cloisy goodness

And that's just for the fic! I don't know how I'm going to choose between all my favorite artworks from ctbn60 alone! And vids...

Yikes!!
