[FelixAwards]

The nomination period will last for one month! You have until September 30, 2010 at 12:00am EDT to send in your noms!

In order for a category to make it through the nomination round it must have at least three (3) nominees to a maximum of (10) ten.

Nominations MUST be sent via personal message to "FelixAwards"! Any nominations sent to Julilly, Mare, or Chaos won't be counted. Well, maybe the first time but definitely not the second! Please make sure you fill out all of the information, last time many nominations came without links and we will not search for the story for you! If it comes without links, it’s going in the virtual recycle bin.
 
Don’t forget to fill out why you believe the story deserves a nomination! It’s a lot more meaningful to say why something should be on the list than just plunking a bunch into a form.

YOU MAY NOT NOMINATE YOURSELF! Also, don't think you can make a fake account to try and do it either, new accounts must be mod approved and we can see if you're using the same computer as another account.

There will be no judges this year; we’re doing it reader’s choice so you will have the opportunity to vote for your favourites! Also, don't forget about the 'for your consideration' thread, the only place you can pimp your work!

Lastly, take a look at the winners from the past two years before you nominate a story. If an author has already won an award in that category for the same fic, they cannot be nominated again! You can only win one time in one category.

PS - If you don't fill out a category you don't need to send it back to us. Just send along the ones you're filling out.

[Purpura Lipstick]

quick question, do they have to be complete, or just far enough along to get the idea where the story is headed?  Please forgive me if I missed where I should ask this or missed the answer to this.

[mare]

They don't have to be completed. Just far enough that the plot has been established. After judging the last few years I can tell you that it's reallyhard to judge a story when there's not very much written, especially in comparison to a completed one. So, I guess just use your judgement?

[Purpura Lipstick]

Thanks

[Sapphire]

Do we have to nominate someone in every category?

[mare]

Nope, just the ones you want.

[julilly]

Just make sure you only send back the ones you filled out, I don't want a bunch of empty stuff with a random one filled it lol it's hard to read

[Sapphire]

Nope, just the ones you want.

Got it. Thanks! 

[julilly]

In reference to something Rose asked me...

You cannot be nominated for both Best Author and Best New Author. If the author you're nominating has never won an award they would qualify for Best New Author... if they have won awards before they qualify for Best Author. You can't be nominated for both!

[Rose]

Thanks

[yorkielover88]

how do you know if they have won an award?

[carterkid]

go to the first page of this board..http://absolutechaos.net/fictalk/index.php/board,43.0.html

You'll see winners list.

[mare]

We usually have a big ceremony in which we announce all the winners. It's going to be awhile. We still need noms and if a category doesn't fill up, it will go away. Then the voting process will begin.

[Rose]

I loved the last award's ceremony. This one will be as epic as last years, right? hehe.

[mare]

maybe minus all the singing and dancing lol
