The AFFA Competition

The AFFA (Adult Fan Fiction Awards) were first conceived on the adult-only board at Stealthy Stories, back in 2006. The initial reason for this competition was to give those who wrote adult fan fiction an opportunity to have their work recognized, that the already established FFA (Fan Fiction Awards) couldn’t provide.

Two people volunteered to run the first AFFA competition held in January 2007, namely engelina and Reijiro. Back then it was a very small and simple affair, run entirely on the adult boards of Stealthy Stories and Mikey’s. But we had such fun with it that we never looked back!

Since then, the AFFA has grown to involve many of the Live Journal communities that are dedicated to TMNT adult works. It encompasses fan art as well as fan fiction. It has its own Forum where anyone in the fandom can have their say on any aspect of the competition. And, of course, there is this website which promotes those who have achieved an AFFA nomination for their work on a permanent basis.

One of the main goals of the AFFA Staff is to run the AFFA for the adult fandom, with the adult fandom. And we look forward to running this competition together with you for many years to come.

Reijiro

G’day, Reijiro here! I have been a member of the AFFA Staff right from the very humble beginnings of the AFFA Competition back in 2006. My role on the AFFA Staff is mainly based on doing the documentation / advertising side of things, which I love to do since I love writing technical-like stuff. So most of the AFFA-related instructional text you will find on this website, on the AFFA Forum, and on the AFFA Hosts Sites is penned by me. And yep, you can blame me for spamming your f-lists and forums each year come Competition time. XD

When I’m not working on things AFFA-related (which we do quite a bit all year round in actuality, we’re always looking for ways to build and improve), I’m a fan fiction writer. I also love getting into discussions and friendly debates over characterizations, biology, plot bunnies, and anything else that can be even remotely related to the TMNT and / or writing. I enjoy and support all genres (adult or no) in the TMNT fandom. But personally I appreciate the most those works that treat the turtles as family and ninja first.

Offline I’m taking a break from my career in the scientific field to raise my three young boys. I also have an awesome and very understanding husband. I first discovered the TMNT in the late 1980’s, when the original cartoon first aired in Australia. Shortly after that I started collecting the Archie series of comics. And then I found the Graphic Novels with the first 11 issues of the Mirage Volume 1 comics. And I was hopelessly hooked upon the TMNT for life. The Y2K cartoon just made me love ‘em even more, and was responsible for me finding the online TMNT fandom back in 2005. My crowning fangirl moment however, was getting a kiss on the cheek from Kevin Eastman himself at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con.
