CATEGORY DEFINITIONS

Timeframe categories

Best Story in PT – The best story that takes place wholly or primarily between the beginning of TPM and the beginning of SW: Rebels (from 32 BBY to 6 BBY). Any story labelled [PT] in the List of Eligible Stories can be nominated for this category, even if it carries several era labels.

Best Story in OT – The best story that takes place wholly or primarily between the beginning of SW: Rebels and the beginning of Bloodline in the New Canon continuity (from 5 BBY to 27 ABY), or until the end of RotJ in the Legends continuity (from 5 BBY to 4 ABY). Any story labelled [OT] in the List of Eligible Stories can be nominated for this category, even if it carries several era labels.

Best Story in ST – The best story that takes place wholly or primarily between the beginning of Bloodline (27 ABY) and the end of episode IX in the New Canon continuity. This also includes all New Canon stories that feature one or more of these characters in a prominent role, regardless of timeframe: Rey, Finn, Poe, BB-8, Kylo Ren, Hux, Phasma, Snoke, Maz Kanata and Lor San Tekka. Any story labelled [ST] in the List of Eligible Stories can be nominated for this category, even if it carries several era labels.

Best Story in Beyond – The best story that takes place wholly or primarily after the end of RotJ in the Legends continuity, or after the end of episode IX in the New Canon continuity. Any story labelled [Beyond] in the List of Eligible Stories can be nominated for this category, even if it carries several era labels.

Storyline categories

Best Continuity-Compliant Story – A story that does not diverge from or contradict the established storyline (New Canon or Legends) in which it is written. Stories that aren’t blatantly AU and aren’t defined as AU by the author in the opening post or the title bar can be assumed to be canon-compliant.
Note: This is the category that used to be called ‘Best Canon’ in previous years.

Best Alternate Universe – A story that diverges from or contradicts the established storyline (New Canon or Legends) in which it is written. This is usually, but not always, indicated by the author in the opening post or the title bar.

Best Legends Story – A continuity-compliant or AU story that relies explicitly and primarily on Legends material (defined as EU material released before 25 April 2014) for its plot, characters and worldbuilding. Minor references to characters, planets, species, ships etc from the New Canon are acceptable.

Best New Canon Story – A continuity-compliant or AU story that does not make any substantial use of Legends material. Minor references to characters, planets, species, ships etc from Legends are acceptable.

Best New Canon/Legends Mash-Up – A story that combines explicitly and prominently elements from both the New Canon and Legends continuities.

Length categories

Best One-Shot – A short story posted to the boards as a single entry (as a guideline, less than 5,000 words). This includes, but is not limited to, individual drabbles, poems, flash-fics, song-fics and vignettes.
Notes:

• One-post stories that far exceed the 5,000-word limit are eligible under Best Multi-Chapter Short Story, not under Best One-Shot.
• Similarly, multi-chapter stories under the 5,000-word limit are eligible under Best Multi-Chapter Short Story, not under Best One-Shot.

Best Multi-Chapter Short Story– A story that can be read in a single sitting without being a marathon and that is broken down into chapters (as a guideline, less than 30,000 words).
Notes:

• One-post stories that far exceed the 5,000-word limit are eligible under Best Multi-Chapter Short Story, not under Best One-Shot.
• Similarly, multi-chapter stories under the 5,000-word limit are eligible under Best Multi-Chapter Short Story, not under Best One-Shot.

Best Epic– An epic is a looooong story that requires a marathon of several hours, or a non-marathon of several days, to be read in its entirety (as a guideline, 30,000 words or more).

Best Series - A collection of two or more stories that are interconnected by their theme, storyline or characters.
Notes:

• For a series to be eligible, at least one of its component stories should have been posted or updated within the eligibility dates.
• You may add to your series nomination(s) other stories that date back to 2015 or earlier, or were started in 2017.
• You MUST list the individual stories that you view as forming a series, even if they are posted in the same thread. The only exception to this is drabble, poetry and flash-fic threads that could not be broken down into individual items for the List of Eligible Stories.
• Stories that form a series may have been posted in the same thread or in different threads (or a combination thereof). ‘Archive’ threads where an author posts all his/her miscellaneous one-shots are not eligible as a whole, but a combination of stories from such a thread is acceptable if they are interconnected.
• The stories constituting the series can be of any length, so anything between a series of drabbles or a series of epics is eligible under this category.
• The stories constituting the series may be belong to the same era or to multiple eras.
• A series authored by multiple writers is eligible under this category, as long as there is demonstrable evidence that the component stories are interconnected.
• Individual stories that are part of a series thread are also eligible in other categories as standalones under the same conditions as any other story.
• A series that won Best Series in the past is not eligible for it anymore, but any stories added by the author since s/he won the award are eligible as standalones.

Chyntuck, In the first post, under voting options 1, the link to Click Here to read the category definitions instructions is not enabled.

Awesome work on this!

 

Findswoman We definitely prefer it if people send their noms with the spreadsheet! Not only does it mean less work for us but it also lessens the risk of making mistakes when we transfer the noms to our master workbook.

Re: the e-mail notifications, no problem -- it's an extra way for us to make sure we didn't type anything into the sheet by mistake while transferring the count to our workbook, which could happen all too easily.

divapilot Thank you I fixed it now.

 

Great job here. I am not good with Excel, so I'll use the old-fashioned PM way, but that's an awesome innovation.

If anybody is up for HTML/PHP forms for 2018, call me.

 

Hey everyone,

A quick note about three storyline categories: Best Legends, Best New Canon and Best Mash-Up.

If you look at the definitions below, you'll see that these three categories are mutually exclusive. The same story cannot be both Legends and New Canon, both Legends and Mash-Up, both New Canon and Mash-Up. It's the first OR the second OR the third.

To re-phrase the definitions above:

• If a story combines lots of important elements from both continuities, it's a Mash-Up and nothing else.
• If a story uses lots of Legends elements with only passing references to minor stuff from the New Canon, it's Legends and nothing else.
• Everything else counts as New Canon.

(I'm sure that if we dig deep enough, we'll find a story that doesn't quite fit any of these definitions but I haven't found any so far. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.)

 

"Cross that bridge" is a...frightening idiom, to say the least. If I wake up in the middle of the night and find you on my window pane, I'll be extremely worried. I COULD BE THE NEXT TO BE TAKEN TO THE BRIDGE.

Official communiqué from Supreme Leader Snoke
For immediate release

Supreme Leader Snoke is nominating:

• for Best Epic: Revenge of the Sith (self-explanatory)
• for Best Canon: The Last Jedi (Kylo Ren will take care of him)
• for Best AU: Return of the Jedi (the Jedi *ever* returning is a laughable concept)
• for Best Romance: Attack of the Clones (because it led to the dark side)
• for Most Headsplode Moment: When the Force went to sleep. Seriously?
• for Best Author: himself, of course.

Any nominations submitted by citizens of the First Order are expected to comply with the above guidelines. Traitors will be punished!

KEEP NOMINATING!​

 

Aww, uncle Snoke, there is no X, there is Y. *sticks tongue out*

 

There's plenty of X! If you don't believe me, a guy named Dameron will be happy to explain it to you!

 

*Ralph Wiggum voice*

I like women now. O_O

 

Official communiqué from Master Yoda
For immediate release

To remind all fanficcers of the following, Master Yoda wishes:

• The deadline to submit nominations on Sunday is.
• Verify your nominations the volunteers must. For this, time they need.
• Great stories on the boards there are. Nominate them you should.
• If you nominate, a cool “I nominated” badge you will receive, even if an Imperial you are.

Currently only 10 nominators we have. At least 15 we would like to reach.

Do or do not submit nominations. There is no try. ​

 

Sunday?

Seems a lot shorter than last time.

 

It's longer and it was all there in the manual.

 

Nominating is easy! And the kind people at the Golden Yodas will help you if you are confused, and they will help you fix any mistakes.

 

The kind people at the Golden Yodas? WHAT Golden Yodas?

It is we, the Golden Palpies, who count the nominations that comply with Supreme Leader Snoke's guidelines above. The Inquisitors are hunting everyone else

Oh, and did we mention that we accept noms only at random hours that change every day? Who ever said this was supposed to be easy?

--------------------

(OOC)

Sith-I-5 It's actually both longer and shorter than last year. We have a 16-day nominations period this year as opposed to 10 days last year, but there were two nomination periods last year because we had the breakdown into eras. Makes sense? (Okay, I know, probably not, but it's not for lack of trying )

 

Has anybody ever nominated something just because it fullfills the criteria? Because I did. Just to be over with this.

 

So people, if I have reviewed something of yours from the relevant year, and stated that I wanted to remember it when the awards came round, please can you PM me with a link to my review?

THE DEADLINE IS TOMORROW SUNDAY 19 MARCH AT MIDNIGHT​

KEEP NOMINATING!​

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHA OMG.

 

I've thought about this, and I'm not comfortable downloading a spreadsheet. If that is the only way to nominate, tell me now.
