35 Days of Karateverse

Hey there, Cobras, Miyagi-Dos, Eagle Fangs, and everyone else that loves this fandom!

Our Award makers are working their magic for our upcoming ceremony, but while we wait we have a little surprise planned.

This fandom has grown exponentially since June 22, 1984. Whether you were one of the lucky ones to sit your caboose in a theater and watch as a young Italian boy moved across the country with his mom for the first time, or you finally gave up this year and decided to see what all the hubbub was about, you've found yourself in this crazy group that we call a Quiver.

Seeing as this looks like the last Awards season for the KKCKFFA (at least for the foreseeable future), we wanted to remember all the previous winners, going all the way back to the early days.

We will be posting a few stories everyday for the next 35 DAYS leading up to our final Ceremony!

So, grab your tissues and your popcorn and get ready to relive....

the best stories around!!!

Heey, I just saw the awards announcement and I'm really curious because I never knew about them 😯 how are the fanfics chosen? Can we as fans nominate our favs?? And can all the works participate or do they have to be finished in order to be elegible? Thanks! <33

Hello! In March, after we gather some volunteers, polls will be sent out for different categories. Generally it's broken up over the course of a few days, somewhere usually around 5. But it'll depend on how many categories we end up with and how many volunteers to help be in charge of these polls. The first round will be nominations. We'll share the links to the polls here and all fans/writers/anyone in our community who want to participate can nominate. We usually start with 5 nominations per category and then will vote from all the nominations we get in the following 2 rounds of voting. Qualifications for nominations include: - Any story posted on Ao3 under the tags “Karate Kid (Movies)” and/or “Cobra Kai (Web Series)” - Started, updated or finished during the period of Jan 1, 2024 February 28, 2025 - Have a word count of 10k or more (this requirement is for Work In Progress only)* *since this is the final one we might make adjustments to the word count barrier but that is one of the qualification from the previous 6 annual award ceremonies. Thank you for the questions, please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any additional questions.

Announcement: KK-CK Fanfic Awards 2025

Hello karate sensei's, students and those karate adjacent! This year is going to be a little different. Due to the busyness of most of the mods this will be the last* award ceremony we host. It feels fitting with the show's finale to try and go out with a bang, so we've decided to make some additional changes, like extending the qualifications. *If there's interest and enough people we can continue, but for now we're planning this to be the final. Rather than accepting nominations just for the year of 2024 we will accept nominations for any fics written/continued/finished from January 2024- February 28th, 2025. In March we'll start asking for help. Tasks include helping make polls (Google forms) for the 3 rounds we host. This includes Nominations, voting round 1 and Final voting round. They create the forms/polls, share them, check the validity of the nominations/votes, and then tally them so we can move on to the next round/determine the winners. We also need award makers. Once the final votes come in we generally give about a month or a little bit longer to break up the winners amongst the artists/award makers so they can read the fics and create an award, this can be art or moodboards which are submitted to be given out at the award ceremony. Our team of pollers and award makers help with the ceremony by announcing the winners and sharing the awards on Discord. This event is a fun way to celebrate the writers in our fandom and it's a large undertaking. The more hands we have to help the lighter the work for all. The current hope is to host the award ceremony this summer, so if you think you'll be interested in helping out, keep an eye out for those official calls for assistance come March. But if you have questions and want more details feel free to reach out before then.

5th Annual KKCCFFAwards!

Hey there, Eagles, Miyagi Dos, & Cobras! Award Season is upon us, but before we start rolling out all the fun stuff...we do need to address a few things. We know many of you have participated in the past years' award seasons, some from the very beginning. So, it may or might not have been a complete surprise to see how big last year's festivities got, as we've had to grow with the fandom boom since the move to Netflix. To be honest, we were only just able to pull it all off. We, the staff here at The KKCKFFA, love doing this and it's fun to give all our amazing writers out there the recognition they deserve, but when we're a more or less skeleton crew, it does take its toll. We've been having our meetings getting ready for this year, as we usually do, making and going over the new Eligibility List, seeing how categories fared the year before, whether new characters fared well enough to deserve their own category, seeing which ships need to move up or down in classifications, seeing to it that everyone has a fair shake at this. But when a fandom's creations grow to such numbers, and the staff more or less stays the same, the need to analyze new categories and such takes on a more critical and in-depth process. So, if you would like for these festivities to continue to grow and flourish, we're going to need your help. This is your chance to get in on the inside scoop and have a say in all the behind-the-scenes workings. We have meetings at least once every weekend during Award season to organize and if we need to make any kind of decision, it's put to a vote where every one's counted equally. Each new hand helps to lighten the load for everyone involved. We'll be posting new advertisements shortly with a new and updated survey. So, please drop us a line.

Thank you and sincerely,

The KKCKFFA Staff

4th Annual Cobra Kai Fan Fiction Awards - Voting Announcement

Hey there, all you Cobras, Eagles, Miyagi Dos and Miyagi Fangs!!!

So, you have narrowed down the entries on the ballot. It was hard, I know. So many wonderful possibilities. Will this stage be any easier? Some might say yes, some might say no. There’s so many great people out there writing great moments.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

There will be TWO VOTING ROUNDS.

You can choose UP TO 5 STORIES PER CATEGORY.

There WILL BE links to each story in every poll, in case there are any stories that you didn’t have a chance to read. (We know the list this year, was graced with an embarrassment of riches. It was just too hard for any one person to keep up with all of them.)

You DON'T need an Ao3 account to participate. (But all the perks of having one, may make things easier in the long run.)

Every poll will be POSTED @ 6am Central Time

ALL POLLS CLOSE ON April 2nd @ 11pm Central Time

If you have any questions or concerns, please send us an ask and we'll try our very best to help.

Please share this post to ANY forum or social media to get the word out. We want to have all our talented writers get all the love and encouragement they deserve.

Don’t forget to join our Cobra Kai Fan Fanfiction Awards Discord Server for the ceremony!

Happy Voting, everyone!!!

KKCKFFAwards2022 - Qualifications And Rules

Hey Quiver! @outforawalkbitkah here...

Any story is qualified if:

it's posted on Ao3 under the tags “Karate Kid (Movies)” or “Cobra Kai (Web Series)”

it's started, updated or finished during the period of Jan 1, 2021 - Dec 31, 2021

[For WIPs (or works in progress) only] must have a word count of 10k or more.

Starting today and over the next week, all 7 of our pollers will be posting, once a day. Now...instead of a separate link for every poll, like last year....each poller will be posting a link to a "ballot" holding polls for 8 categories.

You DO NOT HAVE TO vote in every poll. You CAN simply skip to the one(s) you want....OR, you can vote in every single poll. The choice is yours.

On the front page of the ballot, there will be a nice list of which categories' polls are on that particular ballot.

This year’s OVER 2,000 stories are eligible in 56…yes, FIFTY SIX categories this year.

You can nominate up to five stories in as few or as many categories as you wish.

There will be one nomination round and two voting rounds. The stories with the top nominations will proceed to the First Voting Round.

Nominating Ballots will close on March 12th @ 11pm CST.
