Thanks for updating the site Anja. [img]smilies/hug.gif[/img] Would you mind adding the one about the unfinished fics, too?

Unfinished fics (at the nomination deadline date) are only eligible for the Best Unfinished Fic category.

Didn't I add it already? *looks* No, I didn't. Will do it right now [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

just a quick check - 3 nominations to get it onto the list?

wolkenfuehlen

That's what the rules say [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Makes me wonder how many fics will be able to meet that stringent criterion, though. [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] 3 nominations worked in SOAs 1,2 and 3, but I don't know how many people will get around to nominating this time.

Half of Myself

well hopefully we'll get enough.

can i go open a topic on the YA thread telling everyone about it?

Silversun

Go ahead! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Maybe include the rules, categories and nomination dates in the opening post so people can see everything at a glance, instead of having to go to the site?

Half of Myself

ok, will do [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Just one question, last year in SOA3 we had to nominate three fanfics in every cathegory. This year we only nominate one fanfic, right?

Half of Myself

well i don't think there actually are 3 fics for each category, so yeah, only one. correct me if i'm wrong [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Silversun

Did we? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] I honestly don't remember that. I thought we only nominated one in each category! Are you sure you remember correctly Susanna? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Anyway, Troy is right, I don't think we can nominate three even if we wanted to.

Veronakat

Okey then, one for each cathegory.

Yeah, last year we had to nominate 3, I'm gonna look for the SOA3 rules that I printed and I'll post it.

I just realised there is a loophole in the rule about Original Characters.

8. Any Original Character is eligible, as long as at least one story with him/her has been written after SOA3 (April 7th).

It doesn't say anything about previous winners not being eligible! It wouldn't matter to the other categories because they have to be written after SOA3 anyway, so previous winners won't be eligible regardless; but the rule obviously doesn't apply to OCs so technically, someone could nominate NB's Jill or my Faye or Josh. I think we should amend the rule to say 8. Any Original Character (who hasn't won the category previously) is eligible... What do you guys think? [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]

I can't believe we didn't notice this before. Thanks for pointing that out, Nicky!
