Does not include socks of a different, established user.) Best Collaborative (Multi-author or round-robin) Voter Registration To prevent sock voting, we require that everyone register to participate. If you registered last year, you DO NOT need to register again. If you have not registered before, go to The Voter Registration Thread for easy instructions on how to do it. Noms, Excerpts, & Voting: The Rules The following are the detailed rules for nominating, sending excerpts, and voting. Rules For Nomination: 1. Any story that has won in a previous awards ceremony is ineligible for the category/ies it has been awarded in for this and future awards. Please see the Fan Fiction Index for a list of past winners. 2. Any author who has won in the "Author" or "New Author" category cannot win in that category again. "New Author" is anyone who has posted (begun) their first story between June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008. 3. Hosts are ineligible for nomination within the era they are hosting. 4. Any story posted on, begun, or completed within the eligibility period is eligible for nomination unless it is an on-going story that has won in a category before (see rule #1). The eligibility period is June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008. This includes stories posted in challenge threads. 5. Stories that have been reposted from "Classic" are not eligible if they were finished on the "Classic" board even if they have been reposted to one of the eras. Please do not repost a story completed in "Classic" in an attempt to make it eligible again. If a story from "Classic" is still going, it is eligible for nomination in any category it is eligible for, in the era it would be posted in if reposted. 6. Stories that have been reposted from a challenge are not eligible if they were finished or reposted before the eligibility period. Please do not repost a challenge story in an attempt to make it eligible again. If a story from a challenge is still going, or was reposted within the eligibility period, it is eligible for nomination in any category it is eligible for, in the era it was reposted in. 7. All nominated stories ("Potentials") will be listed in a "Master List". Once they have reached the requisite three nominations for Before the Saga, or four nominations for The Saga and Beyond the Saga, they will be pulled from the "master list" and put into a "Qualifying Nominees" list. Stories in the Most Underrated Category only need one nomination to qualify. 8. As per the results of the 2007 post-Awards survey, a minimum of 3 stories in each category will move to the voting round. If, by the close of nominations, a category has 2 or less Qualifying nominees (or no qualifying nominees) and several Potentials, the number of nominations required to qualify will be lowered by one until the requisite 3 stories are reached. 9. No self-nominations. No nominating with socks. Nominating with a sock will result in a short-term ban and all of your nominations not counted. A sock is an alternate/additional JC username. 10. Absentee nominations are allowed, provided you have contacted the mods and the proper host ahead of time and registered. 11. When you send your nomination PM, please use the template created by Knight_Dilettante and found further down in this thread. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM the hosts, amidalachick, or BigFatty. 12. PM your nominations to the era socks: Saga - SagaFanficAwards Beyond - Beyond_Fanfic_Awards Before - Before_Awards_Sock Rules For Excerpts: 1. Excerpts may not exceed 800 words (including an Author's note). Excerpts exceeding the word limit will either be edited or will not be posted. 2. Excerpts will be posted in the order in which the come in. 3. If your story is nominated, but you will be gone during the excerpt submission period, you can make arrangements with the host to make sure you get excerpts submitted. Voting Rules: 1. No voting with a sock. Voting with a sock will result in a short term ban. 2. You may vote only once in each era. Also, for each era, you must send ALL of your votes in ONE PM to the appropriate sock (i.e. When voting for the Before awards, send them to the Before sock). If you send your votes in multiple PMs, they will not be counted. 3. Voting runs from [insert date for your specific era here]. 4. Voting ends at 11:59 pm, [insert date for your era here] (boardtime=Pacific Time). LATE VOTES WILL NOT BE COUNTED. NO EXCEPTIONS. 5. PM the Awards socks with your votes. IF THEY ARE SENT ELSEWHERE, THEY WILL NOT BE COUNTED! 6. Only fics on the Qualifying List are eligible to be voted on. Any votes for fics not on this list will be disqualified for that category. 7. If you will not have internet access during the voting period, you must arrange ahead of time to do absentee voting. This must be arranged before the nominating period ends with the host of that period. Those needing to submit an absentee ballot must still follow all of the voting rules. Awards FAQ* Can the same person win Best New Author and Best Author? With exceptions. A New Author can win only once. Any author may win "Best Author" once in each era. If he or she is also good enough to win New Author, then kudos to them! If I’m away during the excerpt process but need to send one or more in, can someone else do it for me? Yes. You need to let amidalachick, BigFatty, or the host of your era know that you will be absent, and designate someone to send in any excerpts for you. This can be done at any time, even before noms start, as an ‘in case.’ Am I required to register to vote? Yes. This is to prevent sock voting. You are not required to vote if you register, though, so do it as a just in case! Is sock voting allowed? Absolutely not. Even if it’s an accident, you could be penalized and your noms and votes will not be counted. Be very careful about this. What are blind nominations? Blind nominations are when nominations are posted in the nom thread but without the number of noms they’ve received. You will never know how many nominations or votes any story receives. How many nominations does a story need to qualify? It depends on which era you're nominating a story in. If the story is located in Before the Saga the story needs three nominations to qualify, but if the story is located in The Saga or Beyond the Saga the story needs four nominations to qualify. ‘Most Underrated’ is the only exception, and that only requires one vote to qualify. ‘Most Underrated’ stories must have six or less replies between posts. Vignettes can be nominated, but only if they have six or less replies. If my story won ‘best female character’ or some other type of character award, can the same story win the same category again but with a different character? Yes, as long as it’s a different character. Categories such as ‘Best AU’ or ‘Best Epic’ can only be won once by a story, though the same author can win again with a different story. Are the overseer, hosts, and mods allowed to vote? The overseers cannot, because they are organizing the entire process and have access to information about all of the eras. The hosts cannot vote in the era that they’re hosting in, but can vote in the other two eras. The mods are helping to make the awards process go more smoothly and prevent cheating, but they are essentially regular fanficcers and therefore are allowed to vote. By the same token, the overseer isn’t allowed to have fics nominated, the hosts are allowed to only in the eras they’re not working in, and the mods are allowed to in any era. Am I allowed to nominate or vote for myself? No. These nominations and votes will not be counted. How are nominations and votes going to be cataloged? Each host is doing it a slightly different way, but there will probably be a schedule of which volunteers are going to be on the sock at what time. Can my excerpt exceed 800 words? No, and that 800 includes author’s notes and links to other fics. If it goes over, you will be asked to resubmit, assuming there is still time before the deadline. Those who do not provide excerpts or excerpts within the length limit will not have excerpts listed in the excerpt thread. This is 800 words per excerpt, so if an author has been nominated in more categories, they get 800 words for each excerpt. The excerpts do not have to be taken from the eligibility period, but we prefer that they are (for instance, if a story has been going on for eight months, though the eligibility period is only 6 months, an excerpt can be taken from the beginning of the story). What’s this about extra links in excerpts? If a story was nominated for something as an individual but is part of a series, links to other stories in the series may be linked in the excerpt, but they are included in those 800 words. Best New Authors and Best Authors may link other stories of theirs, as long as those stories are in the same era that person is being nominated in and have been posted on TF.N. If I have a series that spans two or more eras, can that fic be nominated in both or all of the eras for ‘Best Series?’ No. If it is, you’ll have to choose the era that you want it in. However, the story or stories in the era not chosen can still run for other categories. Are there any new categories? No. We have the same categories as last year. Can I nominate a poem within a story for 'Best Poem'? Yes. As per the results of last year's post-awards survey, poems within a story will be eligible for Best Poem, provided they are original and could stand alone. If you have any questions about whether or not a poem is eligible, PM amidalachick, BigFatty, or your era host. Do I have to follow the nominations template? Yes. A copy of it can be found below and in the three nomination threads, and was made up by Knight_Dilettante. If you don’t use it, then the volunteers are forced to go chasing after names and links, and that isn’t fair to them. If it isn’t done properly, you will be asked to resubmit using the template. If you're confused about it, ask the mods, the overseers, or the friendly help desk for any help you may need. Do I have to send my nominations and votes to the proper sock? Yes. If you do not, then you will be directed to the proper sock and the noms or votes you sent to the incorrect place will not be counted. I’m a little confused about ‘Best Epic.’ What defines an epic? The epic has to have at least 30,000 words. What is canon? What is AU? How do I tell? Canon is a story that doesn't contradict the movies and books. This is usually a fic that takes place during or between books or movies. AU is when a story contradicts the movies or books in some way. If you're still not sure, PM either amidalachick, BigFatty, the mods, or the host of your era and ask them to check. Can a series of drabbles be nominated for best series? Yes, as long as they are connected. If two stories are up for Best Series, can one have been written after the eligibility period? No, they both have to haven been started on or before May 31, 2008. I'm going to be gone during nominations/voting. Can I send in an absentee vote or nomination? Yes, just tell the overseer/s, mods and your era's host first. Also, make sure you're registered. What is an absentee vote? If you know you're going to be away during the noms or voting for your era(s) then you can send them in early (but not late!). Can I nominate more than one fic for the same category? No, one fic per category. Do we have to make a nom/vote for every category at the same time? Yes. You are only allowed to send in nominations once, so put everything you want in there. Do I have to nominate a fic in every category? No. If you don't want to nominate a story for a category, just leave it blank or delete its spot on the template. We'll count the ones you do want to nominate or vote. I have a Challenge entry that was posted in the provided challenge thread in one of the eras. However, I took that challenge and wrote the characters and the situation into another era. Which era would it qualify for? It would qualify to be nominated in the era that it would have been in had it been posted in its own thread. My fic qualified for 'Best Epic' last time, but it didn't win. Can it be nominated for 'Best Epic' again? Yes, because it didn't win, but only if you continued to work on it between June 1, 2007 and May 31, 2008. My fic did win 'Best Epic' last time. Can it be nominated for 'Best AU' this time? Yes, as long as you were still working on it sometime between June 1, 2007 and May 31, 2008. What is an ensemble cast? A story that has a lot of different characters all coming together. For instance, you could give the Best Ensemble award to RotS for the interactions between A/P, Obi-Wan, the Jedi Council, Palpatine, Cody, Jedi Padawans, etc. Is there an award for best cover art? No, that would belong in FanArt. Where can I find the winners from last time? In the Fan Fiction Index. You'll have to scroll down quite a bit, but it's there, along with winners from other awards. Would a group of vignettes be eligible for 'Best Series'? Yes. They would all have to be vignettes (in other words, if they're in the same thread, each post needs to be it's own stand-alone mini-story and could be posted apart from the others) and they have to be related. If you have any questions about certain examples, please PM amidalachick or BigFatty and we'll check them out. Are stories that were posted on the Classic board and reposted later allowed to be nominated? Reposts are not eligible, unless they have not been completed on the Classic board and have at least one new piece during the time of eligibility. For one reason or another, I don't want to be involved in the awards and do not wish to have my fic(s) nominated. That's fine. If you are nominated, please PM the proper sock to take you off the list. DO NOT post in the nomination thread. My OC was nominated, but only his/her first name was posted. I'd like the last name in there as well. That's fine, just PM the proper information to the sock. The nomination thread isn't the place to say it. We need a PM record to be sure it was fixed. Wow, my fic got nominated for the awards, and I'm so excited! Can I voice my excitement in the nomination thread? No, that is more properly said in your story's thread or via PM or IM to your friends. What counts as a 'short story'? It has to be under an epic, which is 30,000 words. Vignettes don't count because there is a separate category for them. My co-author and I have had our story nominated for 'Best Collab.' How should we figure out the excerpt? If the authors want to pick one person's part to send in, or would rather take something that each person wrote, that is fine. It's up to the authors as long as it is under the 800 word limit. My fics were nominated for Best Series. What story should I take excerpts from? You can take something from one, some, or all, as long as it fits under the word limit. Do excerpts have to be taken from something that was written during the eligibility period? No, it can come from any point in the story, no matter when it was posted. For the excerpt word limit, does the title count as part of the 800 words? No, it does not. And if you're submitting something for 'Best Response to a Challenge' and would like to include the challenge it was written for, that also will not count for the word limit. My nomination for a fic was ineligible. Am I allowed to nominate something else in it's place? Yes, as long as you get it in before the nomination period is over. Is campaigning allowed? No, it is not. If you are found campaigning, you will be sent a PM reminding you of the rules and asking you to stop, and sometimes to edit your message. You are not allowed to PM people asking them to vote for/nominate you, or to spam threads with requests for nominations or votes. The definition of campaigning for these awards includes: - saying "vote for this story" in your thread - saying "vote for this story" in your signature - saying "vote for this story" in your friend's thread - saying "vote for this story" in your thread in support of your story - saying "vote for this story" in your friend's thread in support of your friend's story There are many definitions of campaigning, many of which are opinion based. We will be following these above rules rather stringently, so be sure to follow them while on tf.n. Thanks! I'm getting really irritated about the mods/overseer/host(s)/volunteers and the way they're running the awards. I have a specific complaint. What do I do? Send a PM to either the mods or amidalachick. DO NOT send a PM to the specific host or volunteer. DO NOT be rude, mean, offensive, and do not bait. If you do, you WILL be banned. And if you offend the person you're PMing, they're not likely to want to help correct your problem. If you can't be nice, don't send a PM. Be nice to us and we'll be nice to you. We do prefer that you send any concerns or errors by PM rather than emailing or IMing them. If we don't have an on-site record of someone being rude to you over this, then we might not be able to take care of it. Just remember: the awards are for fun! Please keep them that way. *FAQ originally compiled by NYCitygurl.

	For best canon male and canon female, can the male or female be from a different universe if it's a cross-over? For example, if it was SW/ST, could Captain Kirk be considered a canon male? -----signature----- Betrayal - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b1/10935143 updated 11/2/09 jedidas3's Master Merlin - Diplomatic Immunity - http://boards.theforce.net/nswff/b10808/30459852

	Also, this was a question that was answered in a different forum by VaderLVR64, but I don't know if it's still the same answer: Pink 5 is a fanfilm character who appeared in a canon book by Timothy Zahn. So Stacey is technically some level of a canon character and MamaV said that she would be considered as such come awards. So if Stacey were nominated as Best Interpretation of a Canon Character, Female, she would be eligible, right? -----signature----- "GET OUT OF THE WAY." Yoink It's coming

	However, Stacey is still in the SW universe where Captain Kirk is not.

	Diane: For best canon male and canon female, can the male or female be from a different universe if it's a cross-over? For example, if it was SW/ST, could Captain Kirk be considered a canon male? No, sorry. Only Star Wars characters are eligible for canon male/female. Ish: Pink 5 is a fanfilm character who appeared in a canon book by Timothy Zahn. So Stacey is technically some level of a canon character and MamaV said that she would be considered as such come awards. So if Stacey were nominated as Best Interpretation of a Canon Character, Female, she would be eligible, right? Yes. Since she was in Allegiance, she is considered canon. -----signature----- "Special day? What have I forgot now? Don't panic...is it Bacon Day? No, that's crazy talk!

As long as you're registered to participate (if you're not, or are unsure, click here) you can send your noms to SagaFanficAwards. Noms, excerpts and votes should always be sent to the awards sock, not to any of the volunteers personally. -----signature----- 1 Peter 3:15 My Fics: http://fattysfics.livejournal.com My BSG Blog: http://battlestargalactica.contentquake.com My Office Blog: http://theoffice.contentquake.com I make my own icons

	FYI - 1) - #11 for nominations contradicts using Knight_Dilletante's templete. It might be a good idea to change #11 to reflect how you want the noms sent - using the { or using a break after the [. 2) I think we need a link for sending the noms. I know you said to use SagaFanficAwards for the Saga noms but there's no link to PM. -----signature----- Betrayal - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b1/10935143 updated 11/2/09 jedidas3's Master Merlin - Diplomatic Immunity - http://boards.theforce.net/nswff/b10808/30459852

It might be a good idea to change #11 to reflect how you want the noms sent - using the { or using a break after the [. 2) I think we need a link for sending the noms.

	BigFatty posted: Golden_Jedi posted: Saga noms start today, right? Do we send them to KrystalBlaze or there will be a special sock for that, like past years? Yes, Saga noms begin today. As long as you're registered to participate (if you're not, or are unsure, click here) you can send your noms to SagaFanficAwards. Noms, excerpts and votes should always be sent to the awards sock, not to any of the volunteers personally.
