#liwawards

A few days ago, thanks to all of you amazing people who nominated and voted for us, we won the prize for Best Transmedia at the LIWAwards!

We are a solidly multimedia story and the team have worked so hard over Twitter, Tumblr, Spotify, YouTube, Pinterest, Storify and the phone sites to make AFitA’s transmedia really special, so thank you so much for the recognition of that, it means the world.

Congratulations to the other winners, and to all the incredible nominated series this year!

We're incredibly honoured to have won three categories in this year's Literary Inspired Webseries Awards!

Best Actor - Steven Christie (George Bates)Best Actress - Chelsea Taylor (Bianca Minola)Best Screen Chemistry - Steven Christie and Adam Bowes (George Squared)

Congratulations to Steven, Chelsea, and Adam for their dedication and hard work, and to the many other members of our cast who were nominated. We are beyond proud!

This evening we found out that AFitA is nominated for all 10 categories in the LIWAwards (And twice in “Best Chemistry”) 

This is something which is… still rather sinking in, but since this is absolutely down to the love and support of you guys I just wanted to quickly post something to say a mahoosive thank you to everyone who nominated us. We did not see this coming and it means so very much that you care. I’m feeling so proud of everyone in our hardworking team and every one of our fans tonight.

Thank you (Thank you thank you!!!) once again, and we’ll post details about voting once that stage of the awards comes along (Exciting!) 

Marshmallows, love and best wishes,

NMTD for best literary inspired webseries

Wow. This is incredible! Thank you so much! We can't believe it, and honestly it's just so cool to know that so many people enjoy watching NMTD. We worked really hard on the show and it’s lovely to be acknowledged for that.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in putting together the LIWAwards. It’s fantastic to be part of such a positive community of fans and creators.

We would also like to take this opportunity to give a big shout out to the other amazing webseries’ (and creators) out there:

Yulin Kuang (yulinisworking) is a star. We cannot get enough of her work, and recommend her videos pretty much daily to our family and friends.

‘The Autobiography of Jane Eyre’ (kalama-tea) is a classic webseries adaptation. Tea, socks, great adaptational choices - what more could you want?

‘Classic Alice’ (classic-alice) has really interesting story-telling with the way it shows Alice’s life, and its adaptations of texts are never ones you would expect so there’s always an element of surprise.

‘Emma Approved’ (pemberleydigital) is fab. I think we can all agree that there was some real heart in this series. A marvelous retelling of Jane Austen’s novel.

‘From Mansfield, With Love’ (from-mansfield-with-love) - It's really genius, the acting is lovely, and you feel so at home watching their videos.

‘Green Gables Fables’ (officialggf) is absolutely lovely. It's a gorgeous retelling of 'Anne of Green Gables' and it really does the original story justice. We are also rather fond of fairy lights.

‘In Earnest’ is a bubble of joy. They've taken a well-loved play and really done something wonderful with it. Not to mention their great use of transmedia and on point fashion sense.

‘The March Family Letters’ (themarchfamilyletters) has been doing really neat stuff with the March sisters. A female-led cast? We think you mean "watch this now".

‘Much Ado About A Webseries’ (muchadowebseries), is a really interesting adaptation of MAAN and you should check it out.

‘The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy’ (newpeterwendy) has an aesthetic you really can't look past. Everyone involved seems brilliant, and we’re keen beans for series two.

In the world of online content we're all just lil’ fishies, and with these awards we got to see everyone come together. It's amazing that everybody has spent so much time, often unpaid, to create these works of art. The literary inspired webseries genre is still a new thing, and most of the cast and crew are very young. You know what that means? That means everyone involved in creating a LIW(A) is gonna keep doing awesome things with their lives. We hope you never look back on this time with regret and you all feel amazingly proud of the work you have done. You're all bloody brilliant.
