A Small Point Of Order:
A number of our admin volunteers have received the same anonymous ask that seems, at best, disingenuous, and is honestly somewhat of a pointless question otherwise.
Please remember that those individuals who admin these awards give of their time freely in service of the Rumbelle Fandom, and do not need to be harassed on their personal blogs.
That said, if there are genuine questions that come from a position of genuine interest or concern, we at the Chipped Cup Awards are happy to address them in open discourse. Please send your asks directly to the blog, where you will be asked to provide your name. Anonymous asks are disabled due to previous hate speech that was sadly received from someone among the Rumbelle Fandom.
Genuine questions received by the CCA will happily be answered accordingly.

Superlatives: Rumbelle Lifetime Achievement Award.
Each year, from among the Rumbelle community, we find an individual who, either by creating or doing something spectacular in the fandom, stands out above the crowd. Perhaps they made people feel welcome, or organized events. It may be that they contributed something unique, never before seen or experienced in the Rumbelle fandom, or they, in some way, embodied the fandom as a whole. Each of this years’ nominees have met these criteria in spades, and for that they deserve our recognition, a place in the Rumbelle ‘Hall of Fame; the fandom’s congratulations and our respect for the outstanding contribution they have made to our community.
This year, the Rumbelle fandom’s choice for the 2024 recipient of the Chipped Cup: Rumbelle Lifetime Achievement Award is…

Superlatives: Best Rumbelle Fic
It is difficult to estimate how many Rumbelle fics there are posted across the many platforms where readers can enjoy the drama, the romance, the angst and the joy that goes to make up the body of works that is Rumbelle. Harder still to select just one to represent the book with the dustiest jacket, and the cup that it chipped. Each of the fics nominated deserves the highest of kudos, and their authors the recognition and celebration for giving the fandom such outstanding fics showing the romance between Belle and Rumplestiltskin, or any of their alternate identities.. Congratulations go to all the nominees!

Superlatives: Best Artist
Where many fandoms have slowed and faded, Rumbelle remains, and not only that, we still see new members making themselves known, and some of them are, or become, writers and artists too. The Rumbelle fandom, the Rumbelle community is blessed to have so many creative and brilliant writers and artists numbered among its members. They, along with all of those who took the time to read and view the entries, and vote for their favorites, help to keep this fandom alive. The following categories recognize and honor those fics, and those among our artists and writers who have excelled, and captures the hearts and minds of the Rumbelle fandom.
All of the artists in the fandom who contributed artwork for the Rumbelle community’s consideration this year are outstanding. Each of them deserves recognition, and to be celebrated for their beautiful works of art. Congratulations, both, on your nomination!
