I get what you're saying, it's true that nobody is forced to vote in every category, but that's also exactly why everyone tends to skip fanfiction. And since fanfiction gets minimal votes every season, it's no surprise that it eventually got omitted from the categories. Bunching it all together makes things a bit more overwhelming. Having it separate just filters out the people who don't feel like doing it from the ones who do.

In my opinion, while the SFW Awards generally give focus to all the categories equally,  Fanfictions are too big of a thing to mix with all the others. Having a competition solely for fanfictions would allow people to focus only on fanfictions, and not have to worry about everything else. In turn, it allows people to focus on the smaller-scale categories in the SFW awards without hurting the large one by not voting.

Besides, it doesn't have to be a grand old Official Awards type of thing, anyway. Just an honest little contest hosted by anybody willing would be good enough.
