The Pixar Planet Awards offer a prize for the Best Fanfiction. It is an over all category however, I believe. I do not think there is an individual award for fanfiction based off each film.
Oh! 
When is the contest though? 
I’m sorry if that’s a stupid question but these are still my first few months on this site and I don’t quite understand it all yet. 
The awards are held at the end of the year. There is a whole nomination process and then final voting.
Oh jeez! I need to kick it up a notch! 
If you’re nominated, jessie, I will vote for you. Unless, my fanfic is nominated, then, of course, I’ll vote for my own.
I wouldn’t blame you! Yours is amazing. Better than mine.
You can vote for your own?
Mine is better? No it isn’t. Yours is amazing! Mine doesn’t stand a chance against yours!
Your characters are better. Mine only revolves around a few of the cars in Cars. Yours is the whole Toy Story gang all the time. I use all of the characters only sometimes.
But my story’s on hiatus for a while, but yours is still going strong!
Yeah but yours is still better to some because it’s Toy Story and not Cars.
I’m not sure who’ll I’ll vote for… can you vote for more than one?
I doubt it. 
That wouldn’t make any sense.
I just read chapters 9 and 10 together…very dark stuff. So Bubba is a murderer, huh? Why am I not surprised? I’m glad neither he nor Chick hit Jane, that’s just…too evil, even for them. When little kids hit each other, it’s not as bad, you know? Anyway, these are definitely my favorite chapters so far, can’t wait for number 11 
heh I have no clue why you’re not surprised.
Glad you like it! 
Haha, I love how you guys are so humble about your fanfics. If it was me, I would totally just be like, “Oh yeah, everyone! Vote for me! ”
But seriously though, I’m most likely going to vote for yours, Jessie, just because it’s so dang awesome. Well first I have to read everyone else’s stories, because I don’t really read a lot of fanfiction. That way, it’ll be fair!
I’m so anxious and excited for the next chapter!!! Things are definitely getting super intense. I just can’t wait for epic showdown between Lightning and Bubba! (Hopefully with the latter ending up deceased/horribly mutilated. Aren’t I such a nice guy? ) I can just see it now… there would be a massively climactic gun fight scene, and bullets would be flying everywhere, and there would be EXPLOSIONS and ACTION, and BLAARGHH!!!
cough Or, maybe I should just leave the writing to you…
I just have one question: you mentioned that Bubba has police records showing that he is a murderer. Doesn’t that mean that he should be in arrested or in jail already? Maybe he already served his sentence or something.
Congrats on you having the most popular Cars fanfic, by the way! You totally deserve it. When are you going to deliver your acceptance speech?
I have so much hatred for Bubba. Everytime that a**hole does something, a hatred I reserve only for a few people rises up inside me and it makes me feel like Lightning does. I just want Bubba to get the proper comeuppance. Which is death. In case I haven’t already said that.
Bubba. Must. Die. 
Bubba the B******
A late congrats on the most popular Cars fanfic, Jessie- you totally deserve it! And yes, I would vote for yours
Pixarfan9099, I haven’t read yours yet in case of TS3 spoilers (is there even any??) Sorry about that, you know how much I hate spoilers. I’m sure yours is awesome though!
pixarfan9099: I’m afraid you can’t vote for your own works.
Woah, how come I’ve never seen this before? I thought there was another fan fiction index ran by another member (I think it was Al-Bob)? 
It seems to be coordinated by little_chef now, so I’m a little confused… but I see my ‘Wait for Me’ fanfiction there, so thanks to whoever added it!
I’ve read the prologue and first six chapters and was blown away! To be honest, I was put off reading it initially because of the formatting. Word of advice: Space out each line of dialogue in a separate paragraph. Maybe you were trying to conserve space or you were not aware of this style, but believe me, it looks more pleasing on the eye than having to wade through whole chunks of text. After a few sentences, my eyes began to water. So always format your paragraphs for readability!
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I must say this is an amazing story. I used to read a lot of Cars fanfic back in the day, but there’s not been many around lately, so it’s great to see some ‘new blood’ here!
I’ll tell you the things that need to be improved first. The bit where Lightning sang the Wizard of the Oz number felt out of place and a little melodramatic. Personally, I would’ve had him sung ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ as a foreshadow to his naming his daughter or go straight to the ‘silent confession’ about his childhood.
Also, you tend to use exposition to explain things. For example, the asterix to denote the ‘come here’ gesture can simply be written as “…raised her tire and motioned Lightning over.” “You could hear whispers from everyone” can be rephrased as “One could hear…” I think there were a few more instances of overexposition, but the point to remember is to ‘show, not tell’. If a character’s motivations or personality can be shown through appearance or actions, it’s much more interesting than just telling the reader.
I didn’t understand the bit where Mater talked about ‘acting like the movie’. Is this a breaking of the fourth wall? Cos’ I’m not aware of any car-birth scenes from the original movie, not to mention it’s weird that Mater would have a meta-narrative awareness (ie he knows he’s in a story).
Lastly, for newcomers like me who haven’t played Race-O-Rama, it would be useful to explain how Bubba looks like. It’s good that you clued the reader on Bubba’s prior history through Mater and Lightning’s exchange in the first chapter, but unfortunately, the reader (like me) is left wondering what type of vehicle he is, what model, distinguishing features, etc., even when he makes his first appearance in Chapter 1 Part 2.
Now on to the good bits. I love the nods to the Mater shorts like Nurse GTO and the ghost light. The ‘flash-forward-dream’ Lightning has after the announcement of the baby sounds exactly like what he would do, from his frequent imaginings in the movie! The Hoodbook website that Nurse GTO was a nice device for explaining how the rest of the townspeople know about the news. I liked Mater’s wisdom on “Thoughts remain thoughts unless they’re acted upon.” I also liked the twist that Doc misled Lightning about the baby’s gender to ‘test’ him. The touch on Jane being heterochromic was cute.
I also liked how you described car-birth without going into too much details. This is one aspect many Cars fanfic writers struggle with when writing about car reproduction (some say tailpipes, other say boots…), so the way you explained it while keeping most of it a mystery was very clever. And of course, I love the whole symbolism with the ring and scar, and how Lightning reconciles his violent childhood with his promise to be a better father than the one he had.
I can’t wait to read more, I have a feeling that things aren’t gonna get any easier after Jane is born.
Jessie posted some YouTube links earlier of in-game footage that protrays both what Bubba looks like and his personality. Here it is:

~Chapter 11~
Bubba was inside his home with Sally. She was chained to his bed and blindfolded. Sally struggled around but she didn’t get anywhere. After a while of squirming around, she finally just gave up.
“Look, Bubba, you don’t have to be this way…”, she said.
Bubba drove close to her. His lips were just inches away from hers.
“What way is that?”, asked Bubba, in a gross seductive voice. With every vowel in his sentence, Sally felt his breath on her lips. She pulled her lips in for a second then let them loose.
“Mean…”, Sally answered. “Wh-Why are you doing this to me? What made you do it? Why are you always so angry? What makes you hurt other cars?”
Bubba swallowed hard and opened his eyes wider.
Twenty years earlier…
“Hmmprh!!! Get off me!!!”, yelled a little red chubby tow truck. A bigger yellow truck was on top of him. “Nope!”, he yelled. “Why are you like this!?”, yelled the little tow truck.
Bubba shook himself out of it. “None of your business!!”, yelled Bubba.
Sally noticed Bubba zoned out for that moment. She thought for a moment. “I’m a lawyer…I can help you.”, said Sally.
Bubba glared at Sally.
“I hate lawyers more than mean yellow trucks.”, he growled. Sally gave Bubba a confused look. He thought back again.
“No, your honor, I didn’t hit Bubba.”, said a now adult yellow truck. “Yes you did!”, yelled a now mature Bubba. “Can you prove it?”, asked the yellow truck’s lawyer. Bubba just collapsed. He looked up at the judge. “No…I can’t.” “Alright, Sam, you’re free to go.”, said the judge. The judge honked his tire and court was dismissed.
Bubba talked through his clenched teeth, “Because of people like you, Sally, I was beat up every single day of my life until I dropped out of high school. I couldn’t even take my life being bullied by that…that Sam! I needed to get away! When I did, I was free. I made a vow to myself that I would get stronger and bigger so that I can once day beat him up. Show him how it feels…I haven’t seen him yet, however.”
Sally had sorry eyes under her blindfold.
“That’s doesn’t mean beat up on another car because you can’t find Sam.” Bubba rolled his eyes.
“I HATE LAWYERS!”, Bubba hooked Sally and drove out of his home.
“THIS IS WHAT ALL OF YOU LAWYERS DESERVE! ALL OF YOU!”
Bubba turned around in front of a cliff and started to back up. The blindfold was loose. Sally started to shake herself back and fourth to see what was going on. The blindfold fell down and a vast canyon was out in front of her with a long way down. Sally’s eyes widened and she started kicking her front tires forward and into the ground trying to stop Bubba from backing up and making her fall over the edge.
“STOP PLEASE!!”, screamed Sally.
Lightning was just arriving at Bubba’s house when he heard Sally’s oil curdling screams.
“SALLY!”, screamed Lightning.
He sped faster and soon, the image of his angel hanging from her death was seen.
“LIGHTNING!!! HELP!!”, screamed Sally. Lightning drove to Bubba. “LET HER GO!”, he yelled. Bubba chuckled. “What are you gonna do about it?”, said Bubba. “Racecar.”
Lightning thought back to when Bubba said the same thing when he was trying to help Mater.
Bubba continued, “Nothing. You’re going to do nothing. Just like you always do when you threaten someone.”
“YOU CRAZY DIPSTICK!”, Lightning screamed. Bubba paused when he heard the word ‘crazy’. He looked over at Lightning and gave a creepy…twisted smile. “Crazy? CRAZY? I’LL SHOW YOU CRAZY!”
Bubba backed up all the way. Sally was no longer on the ground, but hanging from Bubba’s hook over the long way down.
“YOU WANT TO SEE CRAZY?”, yelled Bubba. “NO!”, screamed Lightning. Sally was screaming at the top of her voice. “PLEASE! No!”, screamed Sally.
Mater was driving to the scene. He was the whole time. Jane was on the back of him. When he arrived. Nobody saw him. Mater looked at the situation. He saw Sally hanging off the edge and Lightning in Bubba’s face.
Bubba started to scream again, “Want some more crazy? Huh? WANT SOME MORE?” Bubba started to swing Sally around. “I’m letting go! I’M LETTING GO ON THE COUNT OF THREE!”
Lightning didn’t know what to do. He stayed back with tears in his eyes. He realized he wasn’t going to intimidate Bubba by yelling at him. Lightning was ashamed of himself. His sweetheart was about to die right in front of him and he couldn’t do anything about it. Bubba chuckled and started counting.
“ONE.”
Jane poked her head out of the side of Mater and saw her mother hanging. She gasped and her mouth hung open. Mater held his tire out to block Jane’s view.
“TWO.”
Sally screamed, “HELP! HELP!”
Mater’s eyes widened. He knew he needed to do something and he knew he needed to do something fast. Still, no one saw him. Lightning started shaking and was biting his lip. He wasn’t sure if he should go and charge into Bubba or just watch in horror.
“Maybe he’s bluffing…”, Lightning thought. “Yeah! That’s it! He’s only doing it to scare me…NO! LIGHTNING! YOU’RE STUPID! HE’S KILLED CARS IN THE PAST! WHAT MAKES SALLY DIFFERENT?”
“THREE!”
“NO!”, screamed Lightning. Bubba swung his hook up and then down really fast which whipped Sally right off of his hook. Sally screamed. Lightning watched in horror. He sped to the edge of the cliff.
“SALLY!”, yelled Lightning. Bubba turned and faced the cliff to watch his hard work. He chuckled again.
“Don’t worry! She won’t feel it in a minute!”, said Bubba. Sally was free falling. Her tires were spread out. She was looking down watching as the ground grew closer and closer. She closed her eyes tight. Mater sped to the edge of the cliff and bashed Bubba out of the way.
“MATER!?”, said Lightning in surprise. Mater didn’t answer. He flung his hook down the cliff. Bubba sped to the edge of the cliff and grabbed Mater’s left axle.
“DON’T YOU DARE!”, screamed Bubba. Lightning wasn’t paying attention he was just watching the hook get closer and closer to Sally. He held his breath and swallowed hard. Mater shoved Bubba off of him and then his body jerked. When it jerked, he planted his tires firmly on the ground.
Sally opened her eyes. She was staring at the ground in front of her face.
“Am I…dead?”, thought Sally.
Mater’s teeth were clenched and his eyes closed tight. Lightning was smiling. “SALLY!!!”, he yelled. He turned around to get Jane but she was missing. Lightning looked everywhere but then looked up.
“Jane…?”, he said. Jane was standing on another level above Lightning, Mater, and Bubba.
“You! YOU DROVE!”, yelled Lightning in excitement. Jane had an angry face on. She drove over to a rock slightly bigger than her which seemed like a boulder to her. She started to push it. It slowly dragged across the ground.
Mater started to crawl forward while reeling Sally in. He groaned.
“Sh-She’s heavy!!”, he yelled. Sally was almost to the top. Just two feet away. Lightning was parked right at the edge.
“Sally!”, he yelled. Mater finally got the last tug in and Sally was lifted to the top. Bubba slammed Mater out of the way and sped to Sally.
“I’LL PUSH YOU OVER MYSELF!”, yelled Bubba. He slammed Sally and Lightning quickly grabbed her tire.
“I got you, baby.”, said Lightning. He started to back up while holding her tire. Bubba was just about to knock them both off but a rock hit him hard on the head.
“OUCH!”, yelled Bubba. He closed his eyes and backed up. Little did he know, he was about to fall of the edge.
Jane started to giggle. She smiled wide. The rock wasn’t there anymore because she pushed it off which hit Bubba.
Bubba backed all the way and fell off of the edge. He was now free falling. “HELP!!”, he yelled. Mater sped to the edge and flung his hook to Bubba. It latched on. Mater turned around to call Lightning over. When he did he saw Lightning and Sally with their lips entwined. They were holding there lips there for a while.
“Uh…Lightning?”, asked Mater. “Come here.”
Lightning pulled away from Sally and smiled at her. She was smiling back. Lightning drove over to Mater.
“Hm?”, he asked. “I’ll let you handle this one.”, said Mater. He moved his hook line to Lightning. Lightning held the rope tight with his tire. Jane drove to the edge of the cliff and started giggling at Bubba. Sally went to the edge of the cliff and held her tire out in front of Jane so she wouldn’t drive off the edge.
Mater let out some rope so he was able to turn around to look down at Bubba. Everyone in town drove up to tail fin pass.
“Sally!”, some yelled.
“You’re alive!”, said the others.
They all saw Lightning holding Bubba over the edge.
“Lightning!”, yelled Bubba. “Please! Don’t do this!”
Lightning didn’t answer. He loosened his grip some more to scare Bubba a little.
Bubba screamed, “Please! Don’t kill me!” Bubba stared up at everyone. Everyone was glaring at him.
“No.”, said Lightning. “I’m not.”
“What?”, asked Mater.
Lightning continued, “No, I’m not killing him.”
Lightning looked at Bubba.
“Because I don’t want to be like you. I don’t want to kill. Killing doesn’t bring me joy. It brings pain. Death…it hurts.”
Lightning saying that made Bubba think back some more again.
A teenage version of Bubba was crying over a tombstone. It had his grandfather’s name on it. “I’m sorry grandpa…”, whispered young Bubba.
Bubba looked up at everyone. He had a sorry look in his eyes.
“Mater…bring him up.”, said Lightning, calmly.
Mater started to lift him up. When he got to the top, Bubba looked at Lightning. “I need to tell you something…”, said Bubba. Bubba’s eyes started to tear up. But then he stopped and sped to his house.
Lightning just watched his taillights disappear in the distance with a confused look on his face.
