OH lol makes more sense then because I was so confused.
Though apparently judging by my ability to catch mistakes in the nominations list... that doesn't take a whole lot :P

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." I think I misinterpreted that as the same fic/author combination can't be nominated if a particular story has already won, but that the author category wasn't included in that rule. I guess I was thinking that if an author writes more fics in that genre the following year, they should have a shot at still being the best author in that category?Obviously, I should have paid closer attention to the wording there. I believe I may have nominated one or two authors that had won before, so I sincerely apologize! Being relatively new to the site, I haven't read a whole lot of stories, but did feel like I'd read enough to participate and nominate. Though, maybe I hadn't read enough different authors to nominate in those particular categories.

I'm glad you pointed that out actually because that wording was something I had never really considered as confusing. We've kept the same rules year after year, but last year was the first that we added the author awards and I never really thought to add those two extra words into the rules preceding them. So thanks for that!

You're welcome. I didn't want everyone thinking that those of us who might have nominated authors in the best author categories simply didn't care to follow instructions. There was some honest misinterpretat ion-- on my part anyway :)

Congrats to everyone who was nominated and thanks so much to whoever threw me in the mix. Makes me feel special. Lol

I can see how the author thing would be confusing. I think as long as you're being consistent, either way is fine. Lore had a good point about it being like the Oscars, where the same actor could win Best Actor more than once for different roles, but I've always viewed it more like Miss America - once you win that title, you've got bragging rights to it forever, but the following year, it's time to pass the crown to someone else. That way, more people get to win, and no one can dominate the same category year after year.
