There is a British website called http://sfcrowsnest.com (also listed as computercrowsnest.com), which is run by Stephen Hunt and Geoff Willmets and a few others. They host a myriad array of reviews of SF books, films, tv shows, convention news, etc. They have just announced the winners of the second annual Wooden Rocket Awards, given to genre websites, both professional and fan generated.

Drumroll please! This year's winner of Best Fan TV Site (category #12) is none other than this site, Haken's shiny fireflyfans.net.
There was a total of 12,381 people who cast votes this year. If you click on the link "Click here to see the 2003 Wooden Rocket winners," you will notice that in category #14, Best Fan Site Home Page, one of the runners up happened to be the site I created, www.templetongate.com. Unfortunately I didn't make the cut this year.

Perhaps a flight on the Wooden Rocket?

Wow, congrats, Haken! The best fan site in the world!
IMHO, the title of this thread should be "Haken wins an award" because Wooden Rocket doesn't really sound that interesting.

Good point, Tash. Consider it done.
EDIT: Hmmmm. I edited the post to change the title of the thread, and it is changed up at the top on this page, but it still has the original title on the homepage.

EC, thanks for letting us know. Haken must be damn proud, that's really complimentary.

Actually, I got a good laugh out of it because I started telling people that "I got a Woodie" right after this babe walked into the office.
