    Julie, may I suggest doing rounds?

    I mean, there are so many fanfictions that if, let's say, 25 are being nominated, perhaps we could then vote again and reduce it at 5-6 (or the number you set up) and the real finale is between them?

    Or once the nominations are made, you could have a 'jury' selecting the top 5-10, then put them here so we can vote?

    Jury could be people not involved in a fic and if so, couldn't vote for theirs?

    Just a thought

    No, previously in this award show. You can only be nominated in one category once.

    I can't remember the past winners of the Fanfictions Awards you see...

    That was how we rolled the last time. First an open nomination, then a vote for the top 5, and then a vote of the top 5 for the top 1.

    Okay, now I understand the concern with capping an author's nominations in a category (we did ours differently). I would say that if a single nomination is all that's needed to put the story up for contention in the first round then there should be no limit on the number of stories the author can have nominated in that round, but then perhaps once you do the voting to reduce the nominees down take the top two vote getters by that author.

    When you're reducing down to five maybe you could have people do a dream slate? Rather than each person casting their vote for one, have them choose their top five, then take your top five fics from that.

    I know we've been bouncing around on numbers. I'm going to put my two cents in and say I think Five nominations is good number, enough for variety and not so many that it would be daunting to try to read all the fics in a category before voting if a person hasn't read some of them. Also, I think the cap for an author to have nominees in a category should be two, if they're good enough to have so many stories make it to the top that we have to cap them in the interest of variety than that should at least be reflected in a multi-nomination.

    Poll results:

    View Poll Results: Include WIPs (Work In Progress fics), yes or no?

    Yes! Give the WIPs some glory too! 40 64.52%
    No! Make the authors finish their fics! 22 35.48%
    No opinion/Don't care 0 0%

    Voters: 62.

    It looks like we're including the WIPs

    ETA: I've added a new poll to the thread regarding voting.

    Require login (existing NS username and password) before you can vote?

    Meaning, should you have to login with your NS username and password BEFORE you are given the ability to vote? You can nominate and browse the other sections without having to log in. Why do this? To make the voting process more protected from multiple votes. I have a bare minimum security added to the script now, but if people want to, they can easily find a way around this. By adding a login requirement, it makes this way-around a little more difficult.

    Hehe Cool.. But, how are you going to include them? Including them in all categories or having their own category (Best WIP of the Year).

    Because some of us voted to include WIP, but not incorportae in all categories...

    Or perhaps there would need a minimum chapters... ?

    I'm thinking a Best WIP of the Year would be the best and most doable choice. And how about a minimum of 5 posted chapters to be eligible?

    I think this is a good choice Julie. It's a great compromise to recognize those fics that have yet to be finished, but still encourage completion (if an author wants to see the fic eligible for everything).

    Julie, do you know which categories you will do? And is best WiP of the Year the only WiP category?
