The Felix Awards 2010 VOTING!
mare:
Seriously, is sucks the fun right out of even having an awards if people cheat. The whole purpose behind these stupid things in the first place is to allow readers and writers to reward people for their hard work. What good is it if YOU reward yourself? How can you feel good about that?
I mean, okay voting for yourself once I get, I guess? If you honestly feel like out of the pack of people you are nominated against don't hold up to your own story. It's your right to vote for yourself, but to vote more than once? That is douche baggery at it's finest!
Rant over for now!

^That is exactly how I feel, Mare. The Felix awards are so fun and I think it's mostly because we have such a supportive and fun community here, we all appriciate and respect each others works. To stuff the ballot box by voting for your own stuff multiple times just ruins the whole point of the awards. Ugh.

Seriously, I thought we were all mature and honest enough to be okay with a voting system. Clearly not. Next year (and y'all can quote me on this) I'll find the time to help judge myself so we can just not do the voting thing lol.

Wow, even after the warning it's still happening? I have a question concerning the people who are stuffing the ballot: I know the duplicate votes get deleted, but do their original votes get taken off, as well? Maybe it's just me, but if they are trying to put in a ton of votes and are caught, I don't think that even their first should count.

Same here, Rose! I'll gladly find time to judge next year as well if needed.
