The 2007 Silver Pencil Awards ~ Voting Topic!

[mr_pikachu]

Welcome back to the 2007 Silver Pencil Awards! It's time for the most critical part of the competition: the voting phase!

We use a 3-2-1 voting system here. For each category, you may choose your top three choices. Choice #1 gets three points, #2 receives two, and #3 earns one. After all the votes are tallied, the nominee with the most points wins!

You can vote for an many or as few categories as you like. Your ballots must be submitted via PM to me (mr_pikachu) or Gavin Luper by 11:59:59 p.m. on Friday, February 8th, 2008.

Self-voting is not allowed - be honorable, people! - but you may feel free to post links to your nominated fics in this thread so that voters will be able to read the nominees. No asking for votes or bribery, though.

Without further ado, here are your nominees...
