Wow pretty good suggestions and debates. I agree there are a lot of deserving people who should get awards and noms but did they actually take time to nominate anyone themselves?Most Likely, no, but when it comes to complaining about things though..

In the end, we're not going to Please everybody. No matter what we do someone will think we are being unfair or cheating or playing favorites etc... I think it should be simple, if you want to be nominated then participate yourself.

All awards shows have their good points and bad ones. In the end it always comes down to who voted. No matter if it's everyone or a specific kind of person.

Maybe we should get rid of the word award and just have an appreciation day where anyone can post an I appreciate this story because ...

I'm sure people would have a problem with that too!

I hate award shows!!!

I wonder if having nominations be site based instead of a forum based would help. Maybe if we could set up a nomination form on the site to fill out, where you would have to be logged in to be able to fill it out.

I mean, a while ago AC was changed so that you had to be logged in to review and people signed up. So we know the people reviewing these stories have accounts on the actual site, maybe the thought of having to join the forum to submit nominations turns them away. I don't know that this would help or not, or if it's something even possible within eFiction though.

If there was a way to require people to be logged in to fill out the form, that would definitely help.  Or even if you asked for their AC username, along with valid email address, on the form.  I doubt you'd have a big problem with people trying to pose as someone else in order to nominate themselves.  I think most of us are pretty honest here, and the people who stoop to those levels are usually trying to compensate for a lack of writing ability to begin with, so it's not like they're going to win anyway.

That might help with nominations, but it still doesn't explain why more people didn't vote.  Voting didn't require anyone to sign up or log in to anything.  Click, click, click, and you're done!  It required almost no effort.

Rose:
I gotta say I like the site based awards idea. Maybe then it'll get more to participate? I have no idea why so many failed on voting though. It's like come on, really? It's simple! lol
