I have screencaps of the CBFFA Floor Show (a round robin award show) for '99, '01, and '02. The files are massive ('02 comes to 28.9MB). Is it worth chopping up the Floor Show for upload to Fanlore, or would that involve too much copying of original content? --Anenko 22:02, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

What is a round robin awards show? I know what a round robin is, but how does this go together with an award? And how can a fanfic award have a "show" anyway? Is this a video file of something? My imagination fails me.--Ratcreature 22:51, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
They presented the winners through a round robin award show: 1998: http://web.archive.org/web/20061112223612/www.subreality.com/cfan/cbffa/cbffa-story98.htm, 1999: http://web.archive.org/web/20061112223551/www.subreality.com/cfan/cbffa/cbffa-story99.htm, 2001: http://web.archive.org/web/20061112223645/www.subreality.com/cfan/cbffa/cbffa-story01.htm, 2002: http://web.archive.org/web/20061112223721/http://www.subreality.com/cfan/cbffa/cbffa-story02.htm --Anenko 00:14, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Well, I think it is worth documenting that they combined awards with some sort of self-insertion RPF game, because that is unusual, but I'm not sure all the stories need to be here as screencaps. Maybe a description and one or two screencaps as example and proof?--Ratcreature 06:06, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Those awards were so much more awesome than other awards! I think maybe a quote in the body of the page as well? But yeah, probably not the whole thing. --MegR 08:11, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Just as well; cropping and uploading the entire award show would take ages. I'll leave the quotes up to someone else; I wouldn't possibly be able to read through the entire ceremony in search of quotes! --Anenko 08:29, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
