Yeah, but some people don't even bother to read Fanfics anymore and there are good ones out there...

But first of all...it would be easy to have a preliminary 'best story' contest on the forum. I suggest this because of how simple it is; it requires no work. First of all, people would nominate which fics they think should win. Then those fics would be voted on, and whoever gets the most votes wins.

No, the real problem with the authors who write nowadays is that they all care more about how many people are reading their fics than they do about what they're writing.
xP Leading to all fanservice and no real plot. I mean, the examples are right on this page! Shameless advertising, contests, and the worst part:
Awards.
The awards are stupid. If you're good, you'll know it. But these are just an excuse for everyone to get a "Mitch" or "Paul" or whatever you guys are calling it so they can feel better about themselves. Not to mention it's a popularity contest. Awards don't help a fanfiction section.
Also, I don't think this was said, but, a Tips sections. That way if people are struggling writing their fan fictions or prose, they can ask for help there or a skilled writer (snowdog, Deeman, etc) could post a well thoguht out tip.
