Meh, at the rate we're going, Best non-Pokemon's going to get more nominations than the Pokemon fics. Although one could argue that a fic is a fic, and just because Pokemon don't feature doesn't mean a separate category is needed, it's been a good category in the past to raise awareness of non-Pokemon/non-fanfiction.

Cut-off from last SPs sound okay, but since the last ones were more member-oriented awards, some fics could miss out on the chance to ever get an award for a certain category; but if the fic's worth their stuff they probably wouldn't fall into that timeframe anyway.
