Rules 1- An author, or a reader themselves can nominate any piece of fiction, video, fanart, or a site, but please include your name and the author’s/designer’s name, and email that you are nominating. I will be contacting them to alert them of their nomination, and I really don’t have time to track down each author’s email. If for any reason, you do not know their email, send their nomination into me, and I will try and locate them. 2- Fics submitted must be B/A oriented, unless I say otherwise. No B/S or A/C. If you submit another pairing in a B/A category, I won’t allow the fic to be nominated or judged in the specified category. 3-Fics can be WIPS, or be completed, but just let me know when submitting them so that my judges can be aware of the situation. 4- Fics submitted must have a working URL. If you do not have one and you would still like to nominate your own fic, I will host it temporary for you. 5- Other fic pairings will only be allowed if there is a specified category. If there is not, do not bother submitting them unless B/A is the main pairing. 6- None of the judges can submit fics for the category that they are judging. It’s not fair to those who aren’t judges. Not to assume anything, but people can be biased when it comes to their own works. 7- I will only allow five (5) pieces of fiction per author per round. This does not include videos. You are limited to one video per round, and one site nomination per category per round. If it is the same fic for multiple categories, that will only be credited as one piece of piece of fiction in all the categories you have nominated it in. In simpler terms, each nominee is allotted five different works of fiction, total. If you have more than that allotted amount, you will have to wait until the next round. 8- Only one piece per category. I won’t allow more than one work by the same author per category, unless the work was written by more than one person. Technically, you wouldn’t be competing against yourself. It gives an unfair advantage to the other people competing. 9- You must have a nomination button or link that links you back to this site, unless you have been nominated by someone else. That is the only time I will allow you to not have a nomination button on your site. If you are nominated by someone and would like to have a button on your site, I will send you one when I alert you of your nomination. However, if you nominate yourself, and if you cannot put a button on your site, a text link will be fine. Email me privately if you have any problems. 10- If one of your fic's has already won an award, you may not nominate a fic in the same category in the next round. You may, however, nominate a new fic in the round after that. 11-All award results are final, unless there are extenuating circumstances. Even though there are judges for the site, I approve all winners, and can veto the said winners for any reason at any time at all. Be sure to put the secret phrase "Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass..." somewhere in your post to specify that you have read this. Good luck to all of you! Nominations for Round Three are only open until December 3rd! Judging begins shortly thereafter. |
