STAFF
The following people are responsible for the organizing and overseeing of the Orion Awards. If you have any feedback pertaining to the Awards, you can contact us here. Please do not email us directly about applying for Official Jobs or to nominate a fanfic.
Annoying Schizoid
Annoying Schizoid (Zine Assistant Editor / Judge / Forum Moderator)
Annoying Schizoid is the most perfectest person in the Whole Wide
World/World Wide Web a forum junkie and a lover of fanfiction. She
discovered Artemis Fowl sounds like I'm finding my religion in a
little bookstore in the Middle of Nowhere three years ago and has been
hooked ever since. She loves anime and aspires to be a writer one day.
Call her "Schizy".
Anordir
Anordir
Anordir, who has been in fandom since 2003, is a Criminality Dwarf and Criminality forum mod, and very rarely writes at FactoryFruitNet under the name Boussole. The idea of the Orions (as well as the observation that "Orion" looks like "Onion" if one squints) can be blamed on / credited to the Nord.
Arellia
Arellia (Advertere)
Blue Yeti
Blue Yeti (Judge / Forum Moderator)
Yeti has been around AF fandom since September 2002, has tried her hand
at 76 AF fanfics, and might be insane, but that'd just be the plot
bunnies talking. (Unfortunately, these are multiplying at the rate of
6-per-day, so soon she will be all Bunnies and no Yeti, at which point
she definitely will be insane. And a carrot fetishist.) She's
also the poor sod who got stuck with updating Criminality yonks ago,
and does a very bad job of keeping up with that.
Brightness
Brightness (Site Owner / Forum Admin / Judge)
Brightness does not like being official. Brightness does not like
talking in third person. Brightness likes ramen, pink, and enslaving
people. Brightness does not read much fanfiction anymore although
People Are Making Her Do It Anyways. Brightness does not write
fanfiction, although she does have several sketchy ideas for it that
are on crack. Brightness likes saying her own name. Brightness might
just be the person to blame now if the server goes down OH NOES.
Dim Aldebaran
Dim Aldebaran
Dim Aldebaran has a great dislike of being called 'Debby' since it makes
her sound old, and a dislike of Petrarchan sonnets. However, she admits
an irrational fondness of James Joyce, Fëanor, Rachmaninov, and Bob
Dylan. She is commonly sighted spamming her LiveJournal , flaunting inarticulateness at the
Orion forums, or just having a fun time confusing people at
FanFiction.Net.
Dim Aldebaran has retired from the fandom.
Eterah
Eterah (Judge)
Eterah was introduced to Artemis Fowl 2 years ago by a friend who had just bought The Opal Deception. After borrowing and reading, and re-reading, she was hooked. She's new to the Orion Awards, but has been hanging around fanfiction for over a year (and over 5 years in various other subjects). Though art and design are her first and foremosts loves, reading is right on their heels -and writing isn't too far behind.
Everworld2662
Ever (Judge)
FairyHunter
FairyHunter (Judge)
FairyHunter is an infrequent reader and even more infrequent writer (and even more infrequent reviewer) of Artemis Fowl fanfiction, who has been in the fandom for a little over a year. She hopes to learn more about the fandom through these Awards. She took on a job as Judge so that she can read more good AF fanfiction. (She thinks it's funny that her previous sentence contains "more good", yet it isn't grammatically incorrect.) FH loves Harry Potter and many other fantasy or science-fiction books.
Gus
Gus (Site Maintainer / Forum Admin / Part Time Judge)
Although Gus is an avid reader of Artemis Fowl fanfiction, he has hardly
written any fanfiction. He was introduced to the world of Artemis Fowl in
2002, and discovered fanfiction six months later. He is not the person
to blame if the server goes down.
Kitty Rainbow
Kitty Rainbow (Judge)
Kitty joined the fandom in 2001 and can remember those heady days when there were only ten fics in the whole place. She has since written more than double this number of AF fics all by herself. As well as drawing fanart, she also runs a couple of AF fansites. Mesmerised, a general site, has been running in one form or another (on various hosts) since very early days; Eye on Fowl, a news site, joined it in December 2002. She is also a founding staff member of Criminality. Oh, and she is mad. If you wish to avoid being infected with insanity, please stay away, but otherwise she is very friendly.
Linwen
Linwen (Judge / Graphics Artist)
Linwen has been in the AF fandom since October 2004, and got
dragged into it thanks to t3h shiny covers. She is prone to shift
her attention to new and shiny stuff, but always goes back to the old
habits when the novelty wears off. Lin loves to have fun, loves to be
called "Lin" and loves music. Do not mess with her, for she is scary,
not in a screaming-insane kind of way, but in a
voice-of-your-conscience one. Lin has many ideas to write, but
currently little time, and is often seen fighting her battles in real
life to gain time to do what she really likes, which is
writing/reading/playing piano/watching X-files re-runs/uncertain at
the time being.
refloc
refloc
refloc is a possibly insane person who frequents ffnet with a passion,
and is surprisingly popular there. She writes action with a passion, and
is so obsessive about turning out more fics that she has her calendar
marked up with fics for the next two years. She is happy to direct
unsuspecting people into the Orion Awards, and is surpisingly good at
this as well.
refloc has retired from the fandom.
The Humble Mosquito
The Humble Mosquito (Assistant Judge Coordinator / Forum Moderator)
The Humble Mosquito - 'Mossy' or 'Mozzie' but never 'Mozzy' is a blood-sucking, yet friendly and humble insect who enjoys buzzing around Orion. He is a writer and reader of Artemis Fowl fan-fictions, and for that reason got involved at Orion. He craves compliments about his wings.
The White Lily
The White Lily (Judge Coordinator / Site Coder / Forum Moderator)
The White Lily has been in the Artemis Fowl fandom for around a year. She was almost immediately sucked into the Orion Awards, and has been poking about trying to make herself useful ever since. She is an avid fanfiction reader and a very slow writer, and is habitually driven to distraction by the combination of perfectionism and an ever-growing plague of plot-bunnies.
Windfox
Windfox (Judge)
Windfox has been reading fan and original fiction for more years
than his horrible memory can remember a long time. He started
with mostly Pokémon and Harry Potter fanfiction, but has since
branched into several different fandoms, including Artemis Fowl of
course.
xtreme Spirit
xtreme Spirit (Judge)
Xtreme Spirit is your average teenage girl who spends much more time on the computer then is allowed. She is extremely spirited (hence the name) and has a great love for cello playing. She loves to read and write fanfiction in her spare time and loves school (odd).
