    Below are the voting rules and those nominated for awards in the Beyond and Sequel Trilogy eras as well as the Random Award. Please read carefully and then send in those votes!

    Please do NOT post your votes in this thread and do NOT send them to me.

    Voting dates: From Sunday 17 April to Tuesday 26 April at midnight PST.

    Voting for: The Beyond and Sequel Trilogy eras, plus the Random Award.

    Please remember that Beyond and Sequel Trilogy are separate eras, each one with its own categories and nominees, and that you should vote in each era separately.

    You may choose to vote for the Random Award now, or you can vote later when you send in your votes for Before and Saga.

    GENERAL VOTING RULES
    • You must send your votes by PM to the relevant sock. Any votes sent to the wrong sock/person will not be counted.

    • Anyone caught voting multiple times with a sock will be banned and no longer eligible to participate in the awards in any way.

    Best Reviewer

    divapilot: A thoughtful, observant, and insightful reviewer who reads beyond the surface of a story and draws fascinating conclusions. She is consistent and encouraging.

    Ewok Poet: Her reviews are detailed and interesting and look way beneath the surface of whatever she's reviewing. She tends to come up with some really fascinating speculation as well as references to relevant things from other stories, films, music, historical events and personal experiences. That makes her comments a lot of fun!

    WarmNyota_SweetAyesha (formerly Nyota's Heart): Her unbound enthusiasm makes her a real cheerleader for authors. She reads a wide range and has reviewed most of the stories in this era. She has a talent for homing in on character interactions and the positive aspects of a story.

    The good news: we already have 14 voters in the first 4 days!

    The bad news: we're counting the votes faster than you can send them.

    Keep the votes coming :)

    I'm looking for the voting thread about Before, Saga and Random fics. It seems it does not exist. Am I wrong?

    Check the guide for the schedule. Voting for Before and Saga starts when voting for Beyond and ST/A ends. :)

    Voting for Before and Saga will begin on 27 April, so there is no voting thread yet. If you are looking for the excerpts and synopses thread for Before, Saga and the Random Award, it's here.

    EDIT: Ninja'ed!

    Only 4 new voters since Thursday? Pffff. We can do better than that.

    It's Sunday! Take advantage of your lazy day at home (hoping that you're getting one) and vote!

    Elections and awards don't sit well together. Therefore....anybody not in my country should vote :p That rules out about seven million people, so the rest of the planet has no excuse! Vote! Show us what you like! :) Tell the world, tell the world! GAUDEAMUS IGITUR.

    If you mean four voting forms, that shouldn't count as "four votes".

    A lot of votes on one of those things.

    I'm taking about voteRs -- individual people who sent their votes in one or both of the eras. We're up to a total of 18 now, but I'm sure there are more lurking in the shadows :p

    Some were made easier, where authors did not supply excerpts, and some did.

    So, people! We are now at a total of 20 voters across the Beyond and ST/A eras. Do you think we could bring it up to 25 in our last day and a half of voting? Maybe? Kinda? Sorta? [face_batting]

    Let's remember that the Random Award is a thing, too! So far only 4 votes for Random Award nominees have come in. Voting for the Random Award will carry over into Before/Saga, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to sit on your hands until final day :p

    Another reminder, along with the approaching deadline for Beyond and Sequel: you don't have to vote in every category.

    If there's only one category you want to vote for in an era, send it in! Although there are voter awards this time for those who vote for the most categories, we're more than happy to count short lists too. It's not like finishing your plate at the dinner table. Whatever you have time for is good. :)
