Hello there fellow Fanpoppers. Most of 당신 know me as the person who makes the 팬 Of The Fortnight 질문 and from time to time, Fanpoppers will ask me 질문 about in either 코멘트 또는 messages. This 자주 묻는 질문 is here to try and answer all of those questions. If 당신 have any 질문 to add please do so at the bottom and they shall be incorporated in to the article.
1. Who started 팬 Of The Fortnight?
link created a Pick called link back in May 2007 in the 팬팝 spot. link then made the first ever link. Then after a small discussion with benji and cressida I decided to do the 다음 link with the initial idea that a different 팬 would do it each week. After that I decided to do another one when that one finished, and as cressida and benji didn't seem to mind, I just carried on and still do it to today.
2. Who decides on the people on 팬 Of The Fortnight?
It's up to me to put the first eight 팬 on, though 팬 may nominate one other 팬 themselves.
2a. How is that decided?
I take note of good contributions, 코멘트 and good new 팬 to the site and when the 이전 팬 Of The Fortnight ends, I already have a few names in my head. I make sure I branch out from just my own spots, as for example, I am not a 팬 of The Office, but I'll check it every week to see highly rated contributions 또는 good discussions. I also check Pending Spots almost daily to see if there's a 팬 that's managed to make a spot look brilliant and crammed with content already.
3. Can people add themselves to 팬 Of The Fortnight?
The short answer is Yes. The long answer is Yes, but in 2007 팬 were not allowed to vote for themselves. Though this rule is not enforced in the current 팬 Of The Fortnight, the hope was that it's drilled in to 팬 enough not to do it, that it ceases anyways.
4. How do I get on to 팬 Of The Fortnight?
Simply be an excellent fan. Regularly 제출하기 content, 가입하기 as many spots as 당신 can and participate in the 팬팝 community. That way 당신 also become a member that other 팬 recognise a good user as well. If you're not on there and 당신 have been trying hard, keep up the standard and eventually 당신 shall be noticed and be put up.
5. Does the winner of 팬 Of The Fortnight get anything?
They get recognition 더 많이 than anything, the pride that comes with other 팬 having realised you're one of the great people on Fanpop.
6. How can I tell who has won 팬 Of The Fortnight without looking at the indiviual Picks?

7. When do new 팬 Of The Fortnights start?
Usually a 일 또는 two after the old one ends, though larger gaps have been known to occur between them.
8. Which spot does 팬 Of The Fortnight get 게시됨 in?
Initially it was 게시됨 in the 팬팝 spot, but soon after the 팬팝 Users spot was created and harold made a 코멘트 about moving it here, the 다음 팬 Of The Fortnight was created here.
9. Are there any other 팬 Of The Fortnight-esque events?
link happens every 년 and compiles all of the winners of 팬 Of The Fortnight. There is also an event called link which attempts to compile all the runners-up. Unfortunately in 2007, due to a Pick choice limit, Popper Of The 년 could not fit everyone on. From 2008 onwards, it has been possible to accomadate all 팬 featured.
10. Has anyone ever won twice?

팬 can be added 의해 others as many times as they wish, but the original eight that are put up 의해 me are not repeated. In the case that a user nominated 팬 wins, this 팬 is also excluded from future 팬 Of The Fortnights. This resets at the start of every year.
13. I think someone's been cheating. What do I do?
First of all, 당신 should pass a message along to me about it. Include as many details as possible. Cheating in 팬 Of The Fortnight usually consists of people creating many accounts and then voting for themselves. There have been other variations, but that's the main one.

Certainly. If 당신 wish them to be on the following FOTF rather the current one, message me with the details and they'll go in to the initial eight.
