    When did they begin? I know KRAD's fantastic Horn and Ivory won best short story in the 2001 awards. It would be a great help to us on Memory Beta.

    I've got a list that I've created in a word document as well as a spreadsheet that tallies the wins in categories by year and by "series." I can email both as attachments (although it may need to be Monday as I believe both are on my home computer and not here at work) if you are interested.

    I have an "official list" typed up and sitting in a Word file on my home computer. I've been meaning to put up a webpage, but I admit that Memory Beta would make a good substitute. Since I'm lazy.

    THE PSI PHI AWARDS FOR ACHIEVEMENT IN STAR TREK LITERATURE

    Since 2000, the denizens of the Internet (primarily at the Psi Phi Discussion Forum) have voted on what the best Star Trek books of each year have been. Though Psi Phi is largely a shell of its former self, the Awards continue. They have been organized by a number of volunteers over time:

    2000: Simon Cooper
    2001: CA Surfer Guy
    2002: Michael Schuster
    2003: Steve Mollmann & Michael Schuster
    2004: Steve Mollmann & Jonathan Polk
    2005/2006: Brendan Moody & Andrew Timson

    Over time, rules have changes, and categories have been added and removed. No volunteers stepped up to run the 2005 Awards, necessitating a combined ceremony the next year.

    THE HALL OF FAME

    In 2000, these Awards were for the “Best of All Time”. In subsequent years, they became known as the “Hall of Fame”. In 2004, the rules were altered somewhat (due to the fact that recent books were dominating the Hall of Fame): up to three works could be voted for in each category, but they had have been published before 2000 (with the exception of eBooks, which merely had to be from before the present year). With two years done at once in 2005 and 2006, they were suspended.

    2003: (three-way tie) S.D Perry for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Avatar and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Unity and David R. George III for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Mission: Gamma, Book One: Twilight
    2004: Peter David for Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q-Squared

    In 2003, there was a three-way tie for induction into the Hall of Fame! This, above all else, was the reasoning behind 2004’s new rules.

    Just a thought. Should the book/comic/cover "Hall of Fame" awards section be listed as being for the product itself in bold, listed first, rather than the creators?

    It just seems odd to see the whole string of bolded people listed before getting to the actual entity that won the category.

    Who declined The Ordover in 2002 and why was the Best Editor controversial?

    Man, me and my curious nature. :alienblush:

    I don't recall who did the declining (KRAD, maybe?), but I do recall some of the arguments revolved around the visibility of editors. Certain editors like John Ordover, Marco and KRAD who have a visible online presence will be better known than others who work on the Trek line but don't/can't participate in online communities (and just to demonstrate that principle, I can't recall who the other editors are, other than Margaret Clark, though I know they've been mentioned more than once). The idea was that such a contest unfairly favoured those editors for something that had nothing to do with editing proper, that Margaret and the others work just as hard but simply aren't/weren't as high-profile online.

    Of course, the Psi Phi Awards are run by, and voted on, the online community, so it's only natural that the proclivities of the community will be reflected in the voting, just like the Oscars reflect the preferences of the Academy. Still, I get that one doesn't have to exacerbate the problems of a self-selecting voting pool with categories for work of which we only get an unequal glimpse.

    Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

    Thanks for the clarification. I figured it had something to do with that.
