Nominations close tomorrow, at around 9:00 pm Eastern US time (
what time is that for me?)
On Thursday we'll start a public review period where you'll be able to see what was nominated and report too-large fandoms (with proof) or duplications of fandoms/characters within fandoms. You will also be able to challenge rejected nominated (with proof).
We used the guidelines previously provided to determine eligibility, along with discussion amongst ourselves and some judicious gut checks. Note: A fandom may have been eliminated even if it didn't meet at least two of the guidelines if it exceeded one of them to a large degree (for example, if it had twice as many stories of the required type on one of the archives, if it was difficult to determine rarity because of association with a larger fandom, if it seemed to us too similar or actually part of an ineligible fandom, etc.).
