I make Lost text posts and stuff idk

i mean

Because I’ve just reached 400 followers, I’ve decided to have my own blog awards! I love Lost, as you all know, and I’ve seen so many awesome and creative things related to Lost here on Tumblr. So I want to take a moment to honor all of you!

CATEGORIES: 

Best Theme

Best URL

Best Icon 

Best Edits

Best Role Play Blog

Best Blog

Possibly more to be added

RULES:

Must be following me.

YOU CAN BE A MULTI-FANDOM BLOG, but there has to be some reason as to why you would win a Lost based competition - such as making Lost edits, having a Lost url, posting a mainly Lost, Lost theme, etc.

If you have lost edits, you should have a tag for them on your blog, otherwise there is a good chance I won’t know you made them.

Each category will have a winner and a runner up. 

Have your inbox open and check your own tag frequently. All winners and runners up will be tagged in the post itself. Winners will be contacted directly to give them their prize.

REBLOG TO ENTER

Must enter by: Friday April 25th (around 4pm est.)

JUDING CRITERIA:

THEME: Consistency (does it all look like one theme), creativity, design, and functionality (does it work)

URL: Creativity, humor, uniqueness, reference, etc. 

ICON: Style, creativity, content

EDITS: Concept, design, aesthetic, etc. 

ROLE PLAY: Consistency as that character, interaction with other bloggers, blog content.

BLOG: Reblogged content, original content, interaction with followers, also a good theme, icon, and url. Basically, you are the protector of the island. 

Note: not all criteria need to be met. These are just the things I’ll be looking at. If you don’t win, you’re not a bad blog! You just didn’t suit my own personal taste as much as others. You’re still awesome and amazing and I love that we have a Lost community, ten years later and it is amazing that you’re part of that!

PRIZES:

Both the winner and runner up of each category will receive a promotion. (I have a decent amount of active followers who are interested in Lost, so it should have a positive effect on your follower count/exposure. :] )

But there’s also a slight stigma surrounding LOST, I feel. So many times I’ve mentioned to people how much I like and love the show and it is met with sighs and derision. There are a shit ton of people who started to watch LOST while it was on TV but never finished because they lost interest, no pun intended. And that in turn seemed to generate a negative reputation for the show even for some who continued to watch it. 

The demographics of the viewers LOST I’d say are kinda older than the average teen, which seems to be the primary tumblr fandom age group. 

Perhaps, too, the fact the show does not have two white male leads whose relationship is seemingly sexually ambiguous. Nor is there a token angel or a haughty older brother, nor is the show a quirky, long-running British show with crude visual effects and David Tennant in converse. 

Briana sent me this photo of her LOST tattoo, and sent this message along with it:
