This Fantasy Faire saw the first awarding of the Wafflies – a series of special awards to machinima shot within the Fairelands.
There were three categories:
Livestreaming
Factual
Fictional
Awards were given by the Jury, with a special People’s Choice award, voted for by the public (using RFL kiosks to register their votes).
Attendees wore their best Film Awards costumes, and there was an After Party in the Hall of the Golden Stag on Mythspire Ridge, dj’d by Aoife Lorefield. The hosts for the awards were Chantal Harvey and Saffia Widdershins.
And now to the results.
Livestreaming
Two prizes were awarded in this category.

Why are the awards called the Wafflies?
When it came to designing the awards, we wanted something that would be the similar to the Oscars, but with a distinctly Fairelands touch.
In discussion with the designer, Mary Layton, we had the idea of incorporating a waffle, favourite food of Dinkies and Tinies everywhere – and of course these two groups form the Pawlice who protect the Faire (and play a part in the video Judi’s Jaunt). Etheria Parrott, creator of the dinkie avatars, agreed to create a dinkie statue to form part of the award.
The Golden Wafflie award can be resized to be held in the hand, and enlarged to form a statue,
And you will have a chance to win one for yourself in 2023!
