Improving the Database

Over at the TwiFicDataBase, we're always looking for ways to improve the user experience and the usability of the database. It's been a while since we made any major upgrades to the content captured in the database, so we think it's about time. Before we change anything, though, we want to know what YOU want to see. To that end, sapphirescribe has created a survey to get your input. There is plenty of space for commenting, but if you run out of space, feel free to leave a comment here. The survey is anonymous, so if you'd like a response to your particular comment, leave us your email or twitter or some way to contact you. Please be honest, we really do want your feedback!

Take me to the survey!

Father's Day Contest Winners!

I'll start by saying, once again, thank you to our authors, readers, affiliates, my co-hosts, and our judges. This was prolonged for far too long, so I won't waste time here with nonsense, I'll just get to our results!

First up, Hosts Choice(s)! In true TFDB style, there was no way we could all agree on just one story for host choice and we want to spread the love around, so each of our judges has their own favorite that they want to spotlight.

Chosen by Ash (@Frzr71186): No More Waiting by AutumnSong

Chosen by Mer (mlee03): Of Mermaids and Wildcats by Fairusa and MissRebecca

Chosen by Jay (@jaydogrut): Miracles and Mischief by Esme Mom Cullen

Chosen by Jess (@Jess_Ann06): The Best of Both Sides by TWILIFE2011

Next up, Best Lemon as chosen by the wonderful @jaydogrut, our only male host and purveyor of only the finest twitterp0rn:

Miracles and Mischief by Esme Mom Cullen

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the fics chosen by you, our faithful ficcers and our authors faithful readers, the Fan Favorites!

In third place... well, actually, nothing. Cross my heart and hope to die, there was a tie! (Cross my heart, that was also an unintentional rhyme.)

In Second Place:

The Best of Both Sides by TWILIFE2011

and

Unknown Treasures by melanieintn

And the First Place Fan Favorite Fic:

Miracles and Mischief by Esme Mom Cullen

Final thank you's once again to all of you. My co-hosts, our judges, everyone who tweeted and retweeted all along, everyone who voted, especially to our authors, you're all wonderful and I can't thank you enough.

I'd also be quite remiss to end this post without thanking JaimeArkin without whom we would have had no banners for fic pimping or prizes. Check out herblog or find her on twitter and let her know how awesome she truly is!
