Whiz! Bang! Ka-boom! What’s that? It’s the sound of America celebrating member contests (even those started by members over seas), and well they should, because, as always, this week we have a bunch of really great ones to get involved with, reading, reviewing, writing, whatever floats your boat.

These babies are open for submission until next Thursday, 7/10:

And these puppies are ready for you to do that most American of activities - VOTE! (think of it as practice for November):

Which is all of you…but while you’re all fabulous, some of you actually won contests this week…so let’s find out who!

(Disclaimer - not all winners are listed. There’s so many member contests - you busy little beavers - that if I listed all the winners we’d be here until next Monday. So I’m just highlightin’ a few.)

Congrats to whigworld for winning thedreamcontinued’s Anniversary celebration of KVP!

Thumbs up to cvalin who won diehardjavajunkie14’s Stars Hollow Townie challenge!

I’m loving the joy; go go maryilee! She won the Celebration contest hosted by missmissa85.

Howdy Ya’ll! A new week, a new blog column. There’s been some chatter round the watering hole about member contests and their winners. Now we can’t officially reward the winners with prizes - breaks the rules, these are member contests - but we can acknowledge the winners. So from now on check here on Mondays to see who was victorious the week prior. And so, with no further ado, the winners are…

For “Just One Kiss…”

For “Describe FanLib”

For “Your Worst Nightmare”

And for “The Friend Fic Challenge”

If you won before this week, or this week but I didn’t mention it, we adore you, but there’s too many winners to list you all, but we honor your work and encourage everyone to go find and read the earlier winners as well.

Yep, another Thursday, another member contest post. I know there has been some discussion in the forums about what the winners get for member contests, well we can’t give you prizes - they’re not our contests - but we can give recognition to the winners, so look out, ’cause it’s coming soon. And hey, KvP’ers, there’s a special contest for you this week!

For now, if you want that recognition, or you just want to get involved, these contests are open for submissions:

These contests are open for submission, but ending by next Thursday 5/29:

Beep. Beep. Woosh-swish. Woosh-swish.
Shh. We’re in the computer ICU. It’s touch and go with my laptop, but the doctors are monitoring, and as long as we’re gentle, maybe I can complete this post.
Beep. Beep. (Those are the machines it’s hooked up to, btw.)

One thing that’s not unhealthy: member contests are going strong, like bull! So enter ‘em, rate ‘em, vote on ‘em, crunch ‘em up and swallow ‘em, just get involved!

Here, these ones’re open for submission:

It’s springtime (here in LA) and a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love.  It’s also Thursday and my thoughts turn to Member Contests.  As always there’s plenty to enter and plenty to judge.  So whip out your glasses, pull up a chair, maybe have a sandwich, and check these competitions out.
