The Phantom of the Opera has begotten a fandom completely of its own kind. Out of this genre, a more specialized subcategory has developed for those of us who are writers, phanphiction. Within this realm exists extreme amounts of talent. I feel that there is a need to award those who have put extra dedication into creating there who worlds through writing within the realm of Phantom of the Opera. This is a chance for the reader's voices to be heard and for them to choose there favorite stories from among the thousands that exist on the web. The website for these awards will be at http://www.freewebs.com/phanphicawards. This group will serve merely as a discussion board and a way to notify people of changes.
