Category must have at least 3 nominations in order to be 'active'.

In any category, when nominations for a particular pairing reach three, a sub-category will be created. (unless by creating a sub-category the main category becomes inactive)

Submissions must enclude:

Author's name

author's email address (if publicly posted)

date posted/written (if available)

web link where located - story must be readily available to the public ie. people do not need to join a list to read it

your own name and email address

You may nominate yourself.

You may nominate more than one story/author per category.

If a story is not readily available, it can be hosted on this site for either the length of the voting or permanently, as the author wishes.

Any given story may be nominated in as many categories as apply to it.

*Artwork is exempt from this rule as it was not a category in Round 1.

*Incomplete stories from Round 1 if still incomplete may compete in the WIP category only. If complete, they may compete in the appropriate category one final time.
