Nominating has begun. I [Genny] will not be in charge of this part of the site. I've entrusted my friend, Megan, to handle the awards section, but we can still both be reached at the same e-mail address! Nominations will be accepted until we get at least enough nominations in each category so that no one wins by default [that just wouldn't be fair, would it?] All nominees will be informed of their nomination.

We will not be accepting votes until nominations are closed! [the parts about voting below are there so I don't have to change it when I DO start the voting]

We've recently begun the awards, and if you have a fan fiction site, author, or story that you want to nominate or vote for, please follow the listed steps:

Rules & Regulations Please read this before sending in your nominations/votes

[how else are we supposed to view it?] * It is okay for someone who is not the webmaster or writer to nominate, but the actual webmaster or author is preferred to nominate the story! * All stories are welcome, there is no limit on the rating [PG, PG13, R, etc.] * For all categories that say 'Complete & Incomplete' there will be two winners [lol one complete and one incomplete!]
