how is this an award winning book?

Because the awards are nonsense. Any body can create their own awards. We could create the First Annual LGBDropTheT Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence, which I would win by a landslide. I would then be 'award winning', technically, even though the award is BS.

TL;DR - The Stonewall Honor Awards are hardly the Pulitzer / Nobel Prize.

Okay, but can we do our own mock awards each year? Sauciest, Most Informative, and Worst Troll are some categories off the top of my head.

That could definitely be a serious bit of end-of-year fun!

OMG, I would fucking LOVE to! Holiday contest!!!

We did that back on Reddit once, but the winner never responded to our outreach :(

Us mods have also toyed around with having a bi-annual "best posts/comments removed" thread, and I'm writing up something juicy for you all, regardless of timeline. I'm almost done with it and will share it soon, promise.

For special awards/flair though, our graphic designer mod (Rez) is no longer with us for the foreseeable future. We have to consider her offline until further notice. So we don't have anyone to actually design artsy kinds of things for us.

If anyone would like to volunteer to create though, we will GLADLY make things like this happen! Shoot us a ModMail so we know who you are and can chat about it: https://saidit.net/message/compose?to=LGBDropTheT
