| Best Series Fanfic |
| The best fanfic has been divided into two categories, this
one and the one below.
This award goes to the best Series Fanfic, which is any fanfic with more than one installment (i.e. chapters, episodes, books, parts, etc.), regardless of genre. |
| Best Stand Alone Fanfic |
| This award goes to the best Stand Alone Fanfic, which is any one-part fanfic, regardless of genre. |
| Best Canon Character |
| This award goes to the best written and illustrated Canon Character, which is any of the characters from the Sailor Moon Anime or the Manga, who is a main character in the story, good guy or bad guy. |
| Best Original Character |
| This award goes to the best written, best illustrated, most believable Original Character, which is any character created by the author, good guy or bad guy, main character or minor character. |
| Best Hero (or Heroine) |
| This award goes to the most heroic, best written, and/or overall Best Hero (Heroine) in a fanfic. Sorry, good guys only. ^_~ The hero can be canon or original, main or minor character. And yes, Tuxedo Kamen's stereotypical cameos count too ^_~ |
| Best Villain |
| This award goes to the baddest, most evil, best written, and/or overall Best Villain in fanfiction. Any good story has to have a bad-ass villain to wreak a little havoc. |
| Best Minor Character |
| This award goes to the best written Minor Character with the best lines, best scenes, most influential, or however your minor character shines. This character can be any character who played a minor role in your fanfic, whether it be Rei or Yuuichirou (a main and a minor character, respectively, in the Anime and Manga), good guy or bad. This award honors the little man. |
| Best Romance Fanfic |
| Onto the genre categories now.
This award goes to the best Romance. Obviously, with romance making up roughly 2/3 of Sailor Moon fanfiction, this award will probably receive a lot of attention. Any love story, or story with at least a romantic feel to it, qualifies for this award. |
| Best Action Fanfic |
| Now this is my forte ^_~. This award goes to any fanfic which involves at least some Action. Examples of this would be your usual youma/daimon/lemure/phage battle found in all 200 Sailor Moon episodes. That is just one example of action, though. So if it has action, it qualifies. |
| Best Comedy Fanfic |
| This fanfic goes to any comic, hilarious, ridiculous, or funny fanfic you can find. This is another extremely popular genre of fanfic, just because everyone needs a laugh. Even a drama, action, or romance story with some comic elements in it will work. |
 Best Drama Fanfic |
| This is a genre that was woefully overlooked in the previous years of this awards contest, and also a genre that sees a lot of attention from writers and readers. Not everything involves a lot of action or romance, but just life in general. |
| Best Vignette |
| This is also an increasingly popular genre of fanfic. This fanfic, also known as an Image Fanfic, focuses solely on a single main character, showing us everything about that character, inside and out. This award is for those who take the time to write a fanfic more about the character himself/herself rather than the events that take place around them. It can be about any Sailor Moon character, main or minor, good guy or bad. Original characters do not qualify. |
| Best Dark Fanfic |
| This genre of fanfic has also been increasingly popular in Sailor Moon fanfom. This award goes to the fanfic that is the complete opposite of a romance, a comedy, or one that just makes you feel good inside. This genre focuses more on the seriousness and darker aspects of life and environment, and even has a more angst, morbid feel to it. |
| Best Hentai Fanfic |
| Obviously, this fanfic has to have that Hentai rating to even be considered for this award. Any fanfic with vivid sexual descriptions, sexual action, or other forms of sexual content fits into this category. |
| Best Song Fic |
| Another obvious one, this award goes to any fanfic written around a song. To really be considered as a nominee, the song must fit with the story. |
| Best Emotion in a Fanfic |
| Now onto the guts of a fanfic.
This award goes to the fanfic with the best Emotion. This can be the emotional feel of the fanfic, the emotion involved in the story, in the characters, or just how the story strikes the readers. |
| Best Fanfic Idea |
| This award goes to the fanfic with the best Idea behind it. This all boils down to what's in the fanfic, what kind it is (in addition to it's genre), the theme of the fanfic, and how original it is, or unoriginal. |
| Best Disclaimer |
| This award goes to the best, funniest, catchiest, wittiest, and/or most original Disclaimer in a fanfic. All fanfics must have them, saying the author doesn't own Sailor Moon or it's characters, shouldn't they? So I expect a lot of entries in this category. |
| Best Author's Notes |
| Surely the author has something to say in their story, whether before it or after it. This award goes to the best Author's Notes in a fanfic. Lots of fanfics have author's notes too, so I also expect a lot of entries in this category. Let's see what the author has to say, shall we? ^_~ |
| Best Scene Change |
| This one has always been perplexing to me, seeing as it's been done in so many ways. But this award goes to the best Change of Scene in a fanfic. How good are the transitions between the different scenes? How well do you mark them? How good are you at not marking them? How well do you place them? How well do they flow? Even switching between two simultaneous scenes qualifies. |
| Best Author |
| Now, this is the other top award to win, along with either of the two "Best Fanfic" awards. This award goes to the overall best fanfic author, regardless of popularity, how long they've been writing, and what they have written. This award salutes the best among writers. |
|
New Awards |
| The "new" awards are open to those authors who have only been writing fanfiction for
less than one year (twelve months). Authors who entered in the "new" categories in the past
may not enter in these same categories again. In other words, you are no longer a
"new" author.
You can however, win in both the "new" and "regular" categories.
These aren't huge restrictions, right?
These awards were created to recognize the best fanfiction from the newer authors who are often overshadowed by those who have been writing fanfiction for years. These awards salute the "newbies" out there, and encourage them to keep writing. The other requirements for the "new" awards below are the same as their "regular" counterparts. |

People's Choice Awards |
| It's rather obvious, but The People's Choice Awards, are open to any fanfic or author. The public, (hence, "People's Choice") are the ones who will vote and decide who the final nominees are. Therefore, these awards are based solely on popularity. After the nominees are chosen, you will be asked to vote. |
