General Fic Awards

Best Pokemon Fic / Best Yu-gi-oh Fic ~ Don't you think, with the lack of fanfics actually on the page , you could make this category "Best FanFic?"
Best Nonfiction/Alternate Fandom Fic ~ which then would make this Best NonFanfic? I dont know.
Best Dark Fic
Best Trainer Fic
Best Fantasy Fic
Best Comedy Fic
Best Action Could you maybe put like, best fic that represents its genre? Or something. I just think you've got way to many awards here. What classifies as a dark fic? Are there really that many trainer fics left?

Sorry yeah just my thoughts!
Best Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh! fic: sounds awesome.
Best nonfiction/alternate fandom fic: Also sounds awesome. That category really needs a name change anyway, since most fics that are nominated for that category are neither nonfiction nor alternate fandom, but original fiction.
The Yu-Gi-Oh! Awards: There was a huge demand for them a couple of years ago. People kept pestering us to put them in. But no one ever nominates fics for them. *shrug*
New people: Although we don't have that many new people coming, it's still nice to acknowledge them, methinks.
Most Rounded Member: Y'know, members who are round We mean best all-rounder.
Best Reader: I beg to differ; a prolific reader does not mecessarily make a good reader. But in this case it's just because we had a name change between the GPs and the SPs, so we've got a few duplicate awards lying around the place.

Oh, and Best Friendship/Rivalry does kinda suck, as we found out when we tried to nominate father-son and brother-sister relationships. Bring back Best Unromantic Relationship!

I suggest that we merge Best Description into Best Writing Style because it seems weird to single out one aspect of writing style.
