It’s that time of year again… get ready for the Silver Pencil Nominations! For the next two weeks, the best fics and fanficcers that TPM has to offer will be nominated by you for the semiannual Fanfic Awards! To make your nominations, simply list them in a post in this thread.
For fanfics, any fic that has had an update since the Golden Pen Awards in September 2005 is eligible for general nominations. (Of course, it has to fit any other requirements of the specific category as well; for instance, a fic can only be nominated for Most Promising New Fic if it was first started since the last Golden Pen Awards.)
Be sure to only make up to one nomination for each category. Also, if you want to change a nomination, you’re welcome to do so, but please make your changes in a new post rather than editing your previous one. We keep track of the nominations as they are made, so things might get rather confusing otherwise. And don't forget, no nominating yourself!
If you have any questions about any of the categories or about the awards, feel free to ask. Otherwise, start nominating already!
[Note: Another nomination topic (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/index.php?topic=43695.0) is open in the Writers Lounge. Feel free to post your nominations in whichever one you prefer.]
[Note: To clarify the eligibility further, any fic that has had an update since the last post in the Voting topic (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/index.php?topic=42887.0) for the last Golden Pen Awards is eligible for nominations as long as it fits any other requirements for the category. The cutoff point should be at or around October 1, 2005 depending on your time zone.]
