Oh no... Definitely not because I mean look at the ratio of Nick stories we have to Howie stories... Not exactly fair, but I like the character awards.

I like Mel's point about not including stories that were nominated last year, or at least last year's winners, unless the story was not finished then and is finished or further along now (a.k.a. not exactly the same thing it was last year).

One thing I got tired of back in the day of all the awards sites was seeing the same stories nominated in the same categories year after year.  It just got so old and stale.  I think it would help to keep the awards fresh and also spotlight some newer authors or newer stories if we only allowed stories that weren't nominated or didn't win as finished stories last year.  Those stories had their moment of glory... time to let other stories try for it.

What did you like about last season?
I liked that you couldn't nominate yourself.  I liked that the categories were a little more creative than the average old-school fanfic awards.  I liked that there was both judging and voting to determine winners.  I liked that the judges had a rubric to follow to keep it as objective as possible.  I liked that we actually followed through with the awards from start to finish and announced winners!

What did you dislike about last season?
There were some people who were nominated more than 10 times for various awards.  I know there was a rule that a story could only be nominated 3 times, which I thought was fair, but maybe there should also be a cap on how many times a single author can be nominated for various stories?  That would give more authors a shot at an award, and authors who have a lot of stories could always be nominated for different stories at the next awards.  I also didn't like how some stories or authors were nominated twice in the same category.  I don't think that's fair because for a voting category, it might split the votes and give that author less of a chance of winning, and for a judging category, it might give them a better chance because, hey, they have two out of the five stories in the running.  I think an author should only be allowed one nomination per category.

What would you change if you were as powerful and successful as someone like Julilly?
See above.  Also see my previous post regarding last year's winners or nominees being retired from the competition.

I also think maybe judges shouldn't be eligible to compete for awards.
