Achievements Decided By Vote
The achievements that required a vote are as follows:
The Neurodivergent: Most Creative Prompt Interpretation This vote will be for the work you felt either took the best malicious compliance route or creative interpretation of the prompt, (i.e. Unhappy Ending prompt; fic about Edging/Ruined Orgasm) or whoever did the most creative thing with their prompt (i.e. played the prompt straight but did something really cool with it).
Death by Snu Snu: Voted Hottest Porn This is exactly what it sounds like. Only smutfics qualify for the vote.
Death by Fluff: Voted Softest and Cutest Fluffiest execution; gorefics and bugsex need not apply.
Crown Regent: Submission with the Most/Best Alec Quantity is not strictly enough. We want the highest quality, highest amount of Regent on screen, and we will not be denied. Open to fics where Alec is there.
Emotional Damage!: Why the Fuck Would You Write This This is not meant for psychic damage from bugsex, but rather for the feels. This is the angst-driven category. Did it get you all up in your feelings? Yes/no is entirely subjective. Vote for it.
Faggotry Pageantry: Queerest Submission It's June, motherfuckers. Who wrote the absolute gayest shit? Was it me? Was it you? Vote to decide.
Cracksmoker: You have Usurped Skidmark fr What in the crack-cocaine have you wrought? You'd put the Merchants out of business, for real. Or oust Skidmark and become their leader. This is the most cracktastic fic.
