1. Who started người hâm mộ Of The Fortnight?
link created a Pick called link back in May 2007 in the fanpop spot. link then made the first ever link. Then after a small discussion with benji and cressida I decided to do the tiếp theo link with the initial idea that a different người hâm mộ would do it each week.

2. Who decides on the people on người hâm mộ Of The Fortnight?
It's up to me to put the first eight những người hâm mộ on, though những người hâm mộ may nominate one other người hâm mộ themselves.
2a. How is that decided?
I take note of good contributions, các bình luận and good new những người hâm mộ to the site and when the trước đó người hâm mộ 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 người hâm mộ of The Office, but I'll check it every week to see highly rated contributions hoặc good discussions. I also check Pending Spots almost daily to see if there's a người hâm mộ that's managed to make a spot look brilliant and crammed with content already.
3. Can people add themselves to người hâm mộ Of The Fortnight?
The short answer is Yes. The long answer is Yes, but in 2007 những người hâm mộ were not allowed to vote for themselves.
