Golden Pens 2006 - Time to VOTE!!

[dratinihaunter13]

Everyone pulls up in limos and luxury sedans. The lady authors decked out in glamorous gowns, the gentlemen looking sharp in tuxes and bow ties, all ready for a fun night at the annual Golden Pens!

Welcome Fanfic! This year brings an awards with lots of diversity. Yu-Gi-Oh has taken the awards by storm! Also, nominees include characters "I" "You" "He" and "She" O_o;;;; These awards should have their own special personality. So everyone take your seats in our grand Golden Pens Theater and hear your nominees (enjoy the complementary bar in the back as well, but watch out for drunken embarrassment).

BUT FIRST, voting rules.
1. You may only choose from the list of nominees, and may vote for as many or as little categories as you prefer.
2. Points System: You can make up to three choices per category but you must rank them 1 to 3. Top choice for the category gets 3 points, 2nd gets 2 points, and 3rd choice gets 1 point. mr_pikachu and I will do the math. Remember, you can have 2 choices or even 1 choice if you feel like it.
3. PM your votes to either mr_pikachu or myself. Do NOT email us. We're using the private messaging this year.
4. Send your votes over PM to either mr_pikachu or myself before the deadline: August 20th 12:01AM EST (Eastern Standard Time).

And no voting for yourself. Have some dignity =(.

Edited by mr_pikachu.
Reason: This double post is a tad unnecessary. If you think of something more you'd like to say, the "Modify" button at the top-right corner of your posts can be very useful. Try to be a little more careful in the future, okay? ^_^

[Saffire Persian]

@ Flylock, there a reason why you double posted..
