Introduction
"The Annual Comic-Book Fan-Fiction Awards, an open fic/writer popularity vote first instituted in early 1998 -- voting is conducted in December/January (watch this site and others) and the results are presented in a rather unique form in March (hopefully!). The virtual award taken home by winners is called the Creative License."[1]
Also known as CBFFAs.
The awards were presented during a round robin "award ceremony" set in the Subreality Cafe. Each award category was handled by a different writer, who wrote a short segment of the overall award ceremony. The awards were presented by fanwriters and fictives.

Award Ceremony
Introduction, by Dex(Cue spooky Blair Witch music -- cue glowing text)
In March of 1999, twenty (more or less) amateur writers disappeared into the Internet wilds near CFAN while writing up the 1999 Comic-Book Fanfic Awards.
Nearly a year later, this documentary was found.
(Cue sloppy badly-lit camera shot of just the upper right quadrant of Kielle's wide-eyed, teary face)
KIELLE: It wasn't supposed to be this late...I'm so sorry...so sorry...
(Cut camera, cut music, cue to big glowing sign that reads...)
CFAN Proudly Presents:
