The (First) 2007 Silver Pencil Awards - Nominations

[mr_pikachu]

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the 2007 Silver Pencil Awards!

We thank you for your help in selecting our categories. Now, it’s up to you to decide who deserves a chance to win this year. The process is simple; you can make one nomination per category, for as many categories as you like. No nominating yourself, though; that's just not classy.

If you’ve done this before, you already know how it works. If you’re new, you’ll find out quickly from the other nominators. Just watch and learn.

You’ll notice that next to each awards group is a description of what types of nominations belong in that category, such as whole fanfics, members, etc. I think it’s fairly self-explanatory, but feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Without any further ado, here are the categories!

EDIT: Shoot, made a mistake. I don't think it's been nearly long enough to warrant another post, so I'll just announce my change here in case someone else has already recorded my nominations. Since I don't want to duplicate a previous selection, I'm changing my "Best Newcomer to the Boards" nomination from Houndoom_Lover to Foguet.

[mr_pikachu]

Wow, I'm on a roll... changing my Best Nonfiction/Alternative Fandom nomination from Metamorphosis to Lady Vulpix's Quest of Twelve, because someone who was paying more attention than I was reminded me that the former is a Pokemon fic. ^_^;;;
