Nominations will open on Tuesday, 1st July. If you have any further questions about the nominations process, please check the FAQ thread or contact a staff member.
Nomination Process
Use the forum's nomination threads to nominate. The nomination threads will have separate threads for each of the award categories. From there, you can nominate your favourite fics in the appropriate thread, cutting and pasting the example form. Guest posting is enabled on this board, so you can nominate without having to sign up as a forum member.
Please note that IP addresses will be monitored in case of spammers, inappropriate posts and the like.
Nomination Span
The nominations will run for six months. The starting date is 1st July, and the closing date is 31st December. Please make sure your votes and nominations are within these dates, since late or early ones will not be accepted. The winners should be announced in 2009.
Nominated Fic Rules

4 - Poetry and drabbles (fics under 1000 words) can only nominated in their type category (e.g a poem can only be nominated for the 'Best Poem' award).
WiPs, completed multichapter, and oneshot fics can be nominated for up to two genre category awards, and their type category.
5 - Nominated fics should show a certain standard of grammar and formatting, relevance to canon and characterisation. Before fics are eligible to be part of the shortlist, they will be read over and checked by preliminary readers. Please note that staff members have the right to disallow any nominated fic which they think is substandard or nominated with very little seriousness.
6 - No more than twelve fics may be nominated in each category. If a category reaches its maximum limit, the thread will be locked and no more nominations will be accepted for that category.
7 - All WiPs, whatever category they are nominated in, should be at least five chapters long and updated at least ten months before the last day of nomination.
8 - Authors can nominate their own works. If the said author is a judge, they will not be allowed to take part in the judging of their fic.
9 - Fics which were nominated in the last awards are not allowed to be nominated again. Please check the list of last year's nominations to make sure that the fic you want to nominate hasn't already been nominated previously.
Please get involved, and have fun nominating!
