(98.11.29) "I've been a loyal follower of your site for a long time and have recently been accepted into the Red Squad Web Award judging team. I am pleased to tell you that you're page has been rated 9 out of 10....Excellent Content, every episode covered with extensive spolier reviews, as well as novel synopses, parodies as well as links. Excellent layout, and fast-loading. An example of all-round excellence!"
(98.11.29) (December 1998 Site of the Month)
(98.11.29) My review of "Scorpion, Part I" gets a mention in the "Battle of the Starfleet Captains" feature, used to compare Janeway's tactical skills. (Janeway tied for last with Captain Kirk; Picard won. Don't blame me...her worst scores in the, er, libido departments.)
(98.11.29) Poor Lady Dameon. She figured the only way to get me to get off my lazy behind and link to her page was to give me an award. The sad thing is, she's apparently right. [sigh] This, she tells me, is for my "Best of Both Girls" story. (P is for "parody")....
(98.11.29) ...and S is for "Site".

This award is given to the best DS9 or Voyager site of the month.
"Jim Wright is a guy with a lot to say. If you want a complete synopsis of and commentary on every Voyager episode, along with an in-depth analysis the series as a whole, Jim's site is the place for you. His Short Attention Span reviews, working on a rating system from "Perfect 10 Transwarp Instant Classic" down to "Moored in spacedock," are both funny and thoughtful. Wright warns you if there are spoilers in the review. And he makes a number of good points -- if the crew of Voyager is in such a hurry to go home, why haven't they put the Kazon and the Vidiians far behind them?"
This was my first Cool Site award, and my first International one as well. I'm very popular abroad, it seems, where Voyager episodes take a while to appear. I'm sure nepotism (my German ancestors) has nothing to do with it. (Link broken--you still out there, Simon?)
( Top Award, April 2, 1997: "THE site for Voyager reviews!")
"Once in a while, on my long voyages through the WorldWideWeb, I come across pages that simply deserve admiration. Either they excel through compelling graphic composition, or it is ingenious simplicity that catches my eye. Also the topics they have devoted themselves to are sometimes astonishing."
Ross Glenn has himself one heck of a reviews page, and I'm not just saying that because he gave me a good rating. It's heavy on the graphics, using the LCARS format that TNG made famous--but he's added a low-tech version for quick searching. Its best feature is the over 1300 (and still growing) strong list of reviewed sites, listing strengths and weaknesses. If you're looking for a site, you'll get great info here.
The first and biggest of the rated Star Trek review pages. Luca Sambucci does a phenomenal job. If you're looking for a Trek site -- ANY Trek site -- I'd be surprised if you didn't find it here.
Total TV named me one of their "top ten" Star Trek: Voyager sites.
Yes, I was once selected as one of Mr. Media's World Famous Web Sites of the Week. If you haven't met Mr. Media yet, you owe it to yourself--imagine me on a grander scale and with a better editor.
Their website isn't up yet, but I got notification in June 1997 that I was one of their Editor's Picks. When the site's up and running, you'll be able to link there from here.
My short story "Best of Both Girls" earned this award less than a week after posting. The judges pick the best of online Voyager fan fiction in a variety of categories, and provide links to the stories and judge reviews. This one means a lot, actually; I haven't written fiction--my first love--in a while and it's nice to know some folks think I have a talent for it.
I didn't see a web site associated with this, but someone sent me this image, and it had four pips on it, so...what the heck. Thanks, dude!
"It isn't on the net but on the bulletin board of cool sites to visit at my H.S. (My school is tech shy, I mean pushpins and paper type bulletin board. Plus it is there all summer, I know I help run summer math classes.)you have been posted six times by people. Not all of whom are trekkers. In other words two thumbs waaaaay up from MCHS."
I guess I asked for this one....
No real award here, just a mention of "Delta Blues" on the Science Fiction Star Map that accompanied the December 1997 issue.
Another mention, this one on The Site, the online companion to the ZDNET/MSNBC show. Delta Blues is one of the four Voyager links listed.
This came more for the design than the content, I think. Ah well. Stars is stars.
"Check out this complete guide to the newest Star Trek series! This site features series news, episode and novel reviews, columns, fiction, humor, and more about the world of Voyager... Have fun and find what you want at the same time here!"
Not that I encourage this sort of thing, but if you'd like to give me an award, I'll be happy to put it here. I'm not picky; if you're putting together the "wordy bastards hall of fame" website, I'm not going to sweep it under the covers.
