announcing the 09 awards
It's that time again. We're opening up nominations for the 2009 house/cameron fic awards. Check the rules before nominating. Note also that we have some new categories and new sub-categories.
Rules and Guidelines
-- Eligible stories include those written (or completed) between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009 and the stories must be finished/completed.
-- As tempting as it is, please find work other than your own to nominate.
-- Please don't inundate the awards with your favorite author by placing all their stories in the various categories. Really focus on great stories that fit the category - there are some really well known authors out there that deserve recognition - but there are also some smaller authors that deserve it too.
--You can nominate one story for each category or subcategory.
-- An author can have more than one story nominated as long as it isn't in the same category (Ex: JaneSmith has a story nominated in Drabbles and in Angst - that is fine - JaneSmith can't have two stories in Angst)
-- If someone nominates an author for a category that they already have a nomination in, the author must choose which story they want to be in the category.
-- All categories are open to any rating and any style.
-- Nominated authors will receive a comment at their LJ notifying them of their nomination.
-- Authors that have been nominated but do not want to participate can have their stories pulled - just email the moderator directly at hc.fanfic.awards@gmail.com
