Kataang Fan Fiction Awards 2024

We're doing this a little differently this year. Kataang Awards are being calculated based on ALL stories submitted to Archive of our Own and Fanfiction.net with

A completion date between November, 2023, and November 5th, 2024.

Our reader panel has been going through more than FOUR HUNDRED stories that were submitted this year and paring down to the best submissions of the year.

What awards are being given out?

This is mostly a public recognition of your great work; we don't have any prizes...but some artists agreed to make some free art based on your stories.

GOAT award-- Best Kataang Fic of the Year

Best Alternate Universe

Best Modern A/U

Best Smut

Best Action/Adventure

Best Comedy

Best One-Shot

Best Multi-Chapter

When/Where are the awards?

So we did a live presentation on Discord in years past but this year we're going to do live stream here on Tumblr. You're more than welcome to share your nominations and awards anywhere you want though! Twitter/X, Insta, etc. Some have even added their awards to the descriptions of their stories.

Ceremony and posts will happen on Saturday, December 7th, 12-1PM, PST.

Other FAQs:

Can a multi-ship story win a kataang award?

Answer: Yes! But these are evaluated and discussed by the panel as to the overall "essence" of the story. For instance, while a Zukka-centric story with a great background representation of Kataang is enjoyable to a lot of readers, that would be a story that we are more likely to recommend to the Zukka fans forum for recognition. Stories that feature Aang and Katara as main characters are more liable to receive a nomination for this particular event.

2. Will multi-chapter stories that are still in progress be considered?

Answer: Unfortunately, no. There are SO MANY excellent Kataang ffns out there that are still in progress and have been for years. Some will likely never be finished. These awards recognize stories at their completion date. This also means that if you still have a story you started in 2023, but you haven't buttoned up...hey, finish it in 2025, and it will be part of that year's considerations!

3. Are you only considering stories written in English?

Answer: We are also reading through stories in Spanish this year! There are also many contributions in Mandarin and Russian, but unfortunately, we don't have any readers for these languages and the translating apps we've tried are having difficulty accurately translating these. We will continue to work on this and try again next year, though!

Look out for our next post: The first round announcing all stories being considered for awards and where you can read them!

Will there be awards this year for the fanfiction/ fanart categories? Thank you! Really enjoying the week so far, thank u mods for making it possible :3

Hey anon, thanks for checking in on this with us, and for your support!

Unfortunately, we will not be having awards this year. We only had Kataang Week Awards once during Kataang Week 2022 as a collaborative event with the @kataang-awards on Tumblr which is currently inactive. The original account that ran it has also been closed by the owner due to various circumstances. The mods are also crunched for time and do not have the capacity to add an extra endeavor to the current Kataang Week.

Sometimes, we have new things to try out during Kataang Week like we did that year. Having the Kataang Week Awards in 2022 was the exception, not the rule for Kataang Week, and was done as a special event to foster community.

We hope you understand! Perhaps another community member would like to collaborate with us and/or host an event like this for a future Kataang Week. If not, there will always be other events.

In the meantime, we'd like to encourage you to enjoy Kataang Week 2024 and if you are interested in the fics/art from 2022 that participated in Kataang Week, check out the #Kataang Week 2022 tag and our Tumblr archive. Additionally, the list of winners for the Kataang Week Awards during Kataang Week 2022 can be viewed here for artists and here for fanfics.

What kind of content can I make?

Whatever you're into! Could be art, fic, edits, meta, anything! Just be sure to keep in mind tumblr's nsfw policies and try to leave the sexy stuff under a cut or censor visuals where it's necessary. We don't want your brilliant hard work kept from being shared!

How explicit does it have to be?

If you're more of a fade-to-black or lime-over-lemon kind of person, we want you here, too! Any level of Kataang spice, shown or implied, is more than welcome.

What about too explicit?

There's very little we won't reblog. But if unsure, you can chek out our guidelines (found in the description section), or just send us a DM!

How should I tag my work?

Tag as your heart directs, but the best way to ensure we see your post and reblog it is to tag us @kataang-dungeon. We will also be checking the tag #kataang smut weekend 2024. Content warnings are recommended.

Is it okay if I post late?

Yes! Just don't forget to @ us, as we may not be checking tags later on.

Can I only post on Tumblr?

You can absolutely post your work on other platforms! In fact, some platforms are more lenient with explicit works, so if you have a more explicit version of your work that you feel you can't post onto tumblr, we encourage you to post that version elsewhere and provide a link here for people to view.

Can I submit anonymously?

Yes! Submit anonymously to us in DM and we will share it out for you.

Kataangers, please reblog to spread the word. We're so excited to see what you come up with!
