Woah. Now that's dedication, people! *applauds Pen*
Here's a thought. If people are members of other forums, then they could advertise there. Not literally, 'cause that'd be a mite spammy, but perhaps PMing other users? I'm a member of a DMC forum and created a thread advertising this one, which resulted in Dahhak (temporarily, alas) joining us. Worth a shot?

I could mention it on the forum I'm on! *runs off to do so* If I don't do it now people might not notice. That and I will forget.

You do that. =)
Speaking of forums... since this is a fanfiction awards site, why not advertise GA on the FFnet forums? ... Actually, scratch that. I think FFnet is too filled with Mary Sue authors without a proper grasp on the English language for forum advertising there to be useful. Let's just stick to PMs. XD

So, does anyone have any ideas about what sorts of videos we should make? I think I'll sit down and whip a few up tonight, depending on how much my head hurts (alas, I am a teensy bit sick). I'm in a bit of a video-makin' mood. I'll do that after I go buy cat food.

Costa, maybe you should do it like an infomercial or something.
If I had a mic, I would do voice overs.
"Do YOU love Final Fantasy VII fanfiction? Do YOU find that your favorite fics are underappreciated? Do YOU feel as though you are lonely in a sea full of Mary Sues and badfiction? Then you need to come to Genesis Awards, the answer to all of your Final Fantasy VII fanfiction prayers!"
Oh, man, I'm awful.

LOL Pen, I would SO click after hearing one of your infomercials! A link to GA is in my profile as well, but that usually only gets a bunch of hits after I update. The A/N is a good idea as well.
I'll go advertise on a bunch of communities on LJ as well, now that I've got one of those. I'm sure knowing that nominations are up for fanfiction awards will interest lots of people! I can't figure out how to link it on my main journal page, but I know I can put links in posts.

We should do a Powerthirst homage.
"GENESIS AWARDS! YOU'VE READ FANFICTION - NOW HOW ABOUT MANFICTION!"

Godberry: King of the Juice!
Hmm, I like all of these ideas! I think that for the video, you can do some with it being advertised in the the begining and end, and you could also do the full-in-length infomercial. Hmm... I think that if it's flashy and we have a few of them, we'd be able to get in some people who are interested.

And yea! The hand of God did strike Pen down!
Apparently, you can only send 30 Private Messages a day on ff.net. So I reached thirty, went to send my thirty-first one, and it was like "NO."
This is very hilarious to me. I can't spam anymore today XD.
So, for future reference, if anyone else wants to make a humongous recruitment list from their reader base...er. Yeah. You can only send 30 PMs a day.

Well, I know that you can reply to reviews at least 50 times a day (I've never tried any further...) but I guess it's good to know that there's something in the way for spammers. Sad that they thought you were a spammer, though.

I have an idea, but it's not really the best.
On my myspace, I have a lot of friends that love reading Final Fantasy fanfics and stuff like that. If someone would make a GA code so I could post some bulletins about the site, I would be certain that it would attract someone.. and then the chain begins..
I would make my own code of course, but I'm not really that creative.
Edited to keep from DPing.

I just PMed a few people who I think would be interested in the GA, and I've got more when they let me go back to PMing.

Well, I've just posted on a bunch of LJ communities. Hopefully it'll get a response of some kind! EDIT: Yowza. It did. Well, some ads are up in communities. FF7, _final_fantasy_, ac_fiction and pushing quill all accepted my posts. (So far.) But I also got one angry email from a mod and a deletion (although all the content on their community page is ads right now as well...) My first mod ever. Wow. Apparently I am lacking in common courtesy. Sigh. I think I will leave the spamming to others from now on...

If you're gonna advertise stuff, you gotta learn to take that in stride. Some people are just going to be that way about it. I don't think you're lacking on common courtesy! D:

Put up a link in my profile and my LJ. Though it looks like lots of people here already got the media production skills, I'll just throw in my offer and say that if you need me I'm not too shabby with photos or videos. And NRG, don't take it too hard. It's not your fault some people just can't appreciate your advertising genius.
