2004 FAAn Awards
The 2004 FAAn Awards were presented on March 21, 2004 by Administrator Joyce Worley Katz at Corflu 21 in Las Vegas, NV.
43 people cast ballots. Ballots sent by mail and email were stored in a box decorated by artist Alan White, which also served as a receptacle for votes cast during Corflu Blackjack. The box was opened at Midnight, March 20th, and the ballots counted by Ken Forman, Carrie Root, Ben Wilson and Andy Hooper. Most categories offered space for three choices, which received 5, 3 and 1 points for first, second and third place respectively. The ballot also contained language that prohibited voters from casting votes for themselves, but did not address the issue of voting for your own fanzine. In the actual event, we simply accepted all the votes cast, including those for deceased contributors.

This award was included this year by the Corflu Blackjack committee, at the hopefully temporary expense of the Harry Warner, Jr. Memorial Award for Best Letterhack. There was precedent for the award itself in that the FAAn awards of the 1970s made a distinction between written work of serious and humorous tone. As one might expect, many of the names chosen are also frequent visitors to other FAAn categories. |

This is an unofficial FAAn Award, calculated and bestowed only when a fan is able to amass more total voting points across all categories than any single fan or fanzine receives in any single category. To be eligible for the list, a fan must receive votes in at least two categories. |
