Harry Potter fan fiction and art site FictionAlley
has been nominated for a prestigious "Best Community" Webby Award in the eighth annual event, to be held May 12.
"The members of Team FictionAlley are beyond thrilled by the nomination," said Heidi Tandy, president of FAWC, Inc., the non-profit organization that operates the site. "But we really feel that the nod belongs to all the authors, reviewers and Parkies - they are the community behind FA."
Other sites in the "Best Community" category include Friendster and the ever-popular LiveJournal.
The awards have been called "the online Oscars" by Time magazine, and puts FA in very good company. Google, BBC News and Apple's iTunes are all nominated in other categories.

The Fics are good there but some people in TLC were complaining of how confusing is was to get around the site. I mean it kind of is because I have a screen name there but I couldn't figure out what do so I never used it. I think they are in last place right now...

The company I work for won a Webby award once, and they changed the site!! I liked the old site better...
I am not a fan of fan fiction, but best of luck with their nomination.

Since I enjoy browsing Fiction Alley through their organized list of fan-art by character to view amazing portrayals of characters kissing out of a desire for amusemement, I congratualte them receiving a nomination for Best Community; the moderators have much passion for their site, and they're always helpful and friendly!
