    I'm a little confused over the requirement for best new author. The rules above state two different age ranges.


    Which is the correct time range?

    *taps mic* Is this thing on?

    We've only had 5 people nominate so far. Yeah. Which is why there are so few noms. C'mon, people, get out and nominate!! Really easy and it'll please the people nominated. And me, too ;)

    I'm almost done writing down fics to nominate, but it's past midnight so i might not finish it until tomorrow night. I might have missed the fact that it was nominating time if i hadn't noticed the stickied thread in before the saga.

    The first list is of the stories that have been nominated at all. The second list (the one with like 5 stories on it) has passed to the voting round (so don't waste a nomination on them).

    It has to get three nominations in a category.

    For instance, Gkilkenny's story got 3 nominatinos for AU, so it qualified for AU. But the story is nominated in other categories and hasn't gotten 3, so it hasn't qualified yet.

    On second thought, I am confused again: Can you nom your own? Like, I've got something that's SUPER underrated (that's the only one I'm worried about, I guess)

    On behalf of Lithiniel and myself, we're thrilled to be nominated in Best Epic for Gate Crashin' but I don't think it's got the required amount of words to qualify.
