Greetings Faneditorians. Faneditites.. um.. yeah anyhow...

We are going to try to do something that has never been done in the history of the current FE staff.. do the Annual Fanedit awards in a timely manner

Last year's format was a huge success and we are going to utilize the same basic formula; depending on the total number of possible nominees in any given category there can be a combination of automatic consideration by Fanedit of the Month winners, public poll nominations, and Academy final cuts to reach a final list of nominees for each category which will then be voted on by the Academy, Admins, Moderators, and for each category, any previous winners who wish vote if they are not up for the award themselves.

To kick things off we are starting with the public poll for Best Fanedit of 2012.

The Automatic Qualifiers are:
  • 21 Grams Rebalanced by Gatos
  • Where the Wild Things Are: The Wild Rumpus Edition by njvc
  • Star Trek "Through a Glass Darkly" by BionicBob
  • The War of the Stars II - The Future in Motion by The Man Behind The Mask
  • Star Wars Episode III: Dawn of the Empire by L8wrtr
  • Fall of the Jedi: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace by Q2
  • Dune: The Alternative Edition Redux by spicediver
  • Crouching Dragon - The Tiger Lily Cut
  • Scream - The Giallo Cut by Neglify
  • FvJ by juice4z0 & Neglify
  • Saga of the Apes by BionicBob
  • Spider-Man: Hero Within by g1orkatsos

There are 94 total qualifying edits from 2012, minus the 12 FEOTM winners that leaves 82 edits which you, our beloved community, get the unenviable task of whittling down to 10 edits, which will be added to the 12 Automatic qualifiers for a total of 22 edits. The Academy will then deliberate on the 22, all of which were ultimately chosen via public poll, and consolidate the list into 7 final nominations.

Please see the poll itself for the full selection of edits to vote from, presented in alphabetical order.
 
hmmm. . . need to see DF's scrooge, reave's mars attacks, and brumous's rome: decimated before i vote. there are a few others i've partially watched (i'z a slacker, indeed) and need to finish. but i won't be able to see them all in the next seven days.

i appreciate that we're trying to do this on an earlier time frame—daz cool, daz cool—but since we're voting on an entire year's output of fanedits (minus the twelve), could we get a little more time to watch and vote. . . maybe by the end of the month? i mean, pretty please with an exotic dancer on top?

my short list so far:
assassination of jesse james
payback—the hybrid cut
from dusk till dawn—a last drink in hell
apollo 13
 
[MENTION=10624]ssj[/MENTION] I expect you to watch 60 edits in the next 7 days.

Thanks for the input ssj.

A few things that hopefully will bring some clarity to this phase and help.
  • While it would be awesome if every single edit were watched by every single person, we know that can't happen and it's not expected, all you can do is vote based on what you have seen or even know about some edits. Why? See the next point...
  • Similar to the FEOTM concept, we're counting on the statistical law of averages. The more people who participate in this voting phase, the more overall coverage of edits will get considered and voted on, and the more accurate the results will ultimately be.
  • Keep in mind that this is only the 2nd stage of the nomination process and is only to help determine the pool of edits which the Academy will then pair down to 7 nominees for final voting.

The Academy will be pressed to watch as many edits as possible, but their tally when this is all done will be 22 edits they have to watch to boil down to seven, this is why the broad public poll is so useful, it is sort of like cloud-sourcing the initial review process, leveraging the collective experience/expertise of the full community, which even if not having seen everything individually, will have seen everything collectively.

With all of that said, if extending the voting period will help increase participation, or improve individual participation I can look into pushing it out. I don't know that I can go a full 30 days because there are two other public polls after this one, however, they are ultimately sub-sets of this one so we could use a longer period for this poll and shorter periods for the other two.

Everyone please feel free to chime in so I can come to a decision ASAP.

Stay Thirsty.
 
thanks for breaking it down, L8.

i don't need to watch all the remaining fanedits. . . just the ones that interest me the most, and toward that end i wouldn't mind another 7-10 days, but i'm just one voice (two when passing flatus) and don't want to derail the calendar.

[when i gain more ambition, i'll challenge myself to watch 50,000 fanedits. :p]
 
The only two that I saw from the unfiltered list were Apollo 13: The Super 8 Edit and Dollhouse: Extinction, but they were both phenomenal, so I voted for each of them to be nominees.

This will be an interesting race!
 
Beerfest - Get Mammered Edition? Someone's been tapping the keg!

Hee hee. Fixed. But it does kind of fit.
 
Because we started so shockingly early (on time) I am going to extend the voting period for the month of February.

This is a huge category and I want to give the community enough time to really give it their best, and it is also more fair to all the editors. Better to take some time and do it well than rush it!

Happy Voting!
 
thank you, korean jeejuss!

Please vote. It is a precious gift you should... wait.. what am is this thread about?

Oh.. yes, please vote.
 
Votes cast, I like this way of doing the awards :)
 
^^ah, so that's the gif i couldn't see at work. noss. ;-)
 
Thank you to all who participated. When the dust settled there were 5 clear selections by the community, and then a whopping 13 tied after that. With such a disparity, we are going to take those top 5 vote getters and move them into the next round for consideration along with the FEOTM winners from 2012.

So, moving onto the next round are:

Apollo 13: The Super 8 Cut by Rogue-theX
Batman: Decent into Mystery by Dwight Fry
Captain America: The Steven Rogers Cut by AEmovieguy
Jaws III: Monster by LastSurvivor
Payback - The Hybrid Cut by Neglify

Congratulations Gentlemen! Good luck in the next round of cuts!
