To echo a quote I said the first time I volunteered and my computer's harddrive went to the Force: Many computers have died to bring you these awards.

I guess the final master list of qualified stories and authors isn't finalized, since the categories which have no or only one qualifying entry should have all the ones that were nominated in them, correct?

Congrats to all the nommed and thanks so much to the volonteers! applause


But can I express my opinion that maybe the number of noms to classify should be revised for next time? Because it will be a nightmare to vote with so many stories in each category! worried

It's been a year of great fanfic and so many were nominated, that it would seem that each story didn't get enough votes to move on (in most cases).


Help desk said this....

As per the results of last year's post-Awards survey, we will have a minimum of 3 stories per category in the voting round. If 2 stories or less reach the qualifying number of 4 noms, we will lower the number of noms needed by one until we reach the requisite 3 stories.

Yes, this was part of the concern when the required number of noms was raised to four. But, as dianethx pointed out, we have a system in place to help more stories qualify.

So, what was quoted here...

SagaFanficAwards posted:
RULES FOR NOMMING:

7. All nominated stories ("Potentials") will be listed in a Master Index using blind nominations. All those that reach the requisite four nominations by the end of the nomination period will be added to the Qualifying Nominations list. The number of nominations that a story receives will never be released. Stories for the Best Underrated category need only one nomination to qualify.

8. If, by the close of nominations, a category only has one qualifying nominee (or no qualifying nominee), and several potentials, all stories in that category will be moved to the voting round.



... is not quite accurate?

That MIGHT have been a result of using a previous year's awards nom "blurb" but in any case, we always refer back to what was decided by user poll. To do anything else invariably leads to difficulty. tongue

Again, I'm not sure, and not in charge of the awards, I'm just saying that if there is any doubt or contradiction, we always go back to the poll.


EDIT: Yep, this was addressed in the help desk thread and our overseer clarified. You can find it here:

Yes, the nom blurb is from last year, which is why it states those rules. Thanks to dianethx and Vadey for clarifying.

The finalized qualifying list will be up as soon as possible. I apologize for all the confusion.
