General Rules
These are the general rules. To see the rules for individual categories, click on 
.
- You may nominate yourself or someone else.
- Any single story can only be nominated in up to 3 categories.
- An author may be nominated in an unlimited number of categories, but only 2 fanfictions per category.
- Previous Reader's or Judge's Choice winners cannot be nominated in the same category they won.
- Nominations MUST include a rating, author, author's e-mail, link to the story, and nominator's name and e-mail or will not be accepted
- Works in progress (WIPs) are allowed entry (except in the case of the Long Fiction categories) if they have more than 3 chapters.
- Stories cannot be nominated in opposing categories. For example, if a story is nominated for Best Fluff, it cannot be nominated for Best Angst and vice versa. If a story has won for Best Fluff, it does not qualify for Best Angst and vice versa.
- Putting up codes/nomination buttons is not required, but they're always nice to see! :o)
- Individual categories must have a minimum of 3 nominees to be considered for the current round. If a category has too few nominations by the end of the nomination period, all the nominees in that category will be rolled over to the next round.
- Stories must be accessible to the public to be considered for nomination. Stories where the reader must sign up in order to access it will not be allowed. If a link to a story becomes inactive during the judging period, that story will be disqualified.
- The webmistress holds final say on all matters regarding nominations and round dates. A nomination/nominee will be immediately disqualified if the author has committed plagiarism or has violated any of the rules. Also, while I will try to stick to the round schedule, as a general rule, the nomination period will be over once most category minimum requirements have been met.
- All stories must be written in English.
- When asked what the rules said, please write: I believe in you.
