What types of fics are eligible?

• All fanfiction must be based on the BtVS/Ats fandom. No RPF is allowed.


• All fanfiction must focus on a femmeslash or female/female pairing or multiple. All persons in a femmeslash couple should be canonically female or original female characters. Fics centered on canonically male characters that have been transformed into female do not count.


• A WIP (Work-in-Progress) is eligible, but it must have at least three parts, and must have been updated within two months of the beginning of the judging period.


• Fics less than 750 words are only eligible in the drabble/ficlet category.


• Fics centered around a platonic female-female relationship (friendship or family) are only eligible to be nominated in the Platonic category.


• Crossovers are allowed; however, we cannot guarantee the judges will be familiar with the crossover fandom.

Who can nominate/be nominated?

• Judges may be nominated, but they cannot judge a category they've been nominated in.


• Mods can be nominated, but they cannot nominate themselves.


• Self-nominations are accepted; however, it is preferred that for every time you nominate yourself, you nominate someone else as well. This is not a hard-and-fast rule, and I won't be checking, but the best part of an awards site is spreading the love around.

How many times can I be nominated?

• Authors may be nominated no more than once per category. The only exception is Best Pairing, in which a single author may be nominated up to 3 times, provided each story has a different pairing.


• A single work of fiction can be nominated in no more than two categories.

Nominations will be discarded if:

• A valid email address or LJ username is not provided.


• It is riddled with spelling, punctuation & grammar errors.


• It is friends-locked or password-protected.


• It is not nominated in the correct category.


• The author declines the nomination.

What else do I need to know?

• Categories must have a minimum of three entries to go to judging/voting. Categories will contain no more than ten nominees.


• Nominations will be taken in the order of author acceptance. First come, first served.


• Categories that become full before the nominations process is over may cascade* at the mods's discretion.

• Best Drabble (100-400 words)


• Best Ficlet (401-750 words)


• Best Buffy/Faith


• Best Willow/Buffy


• Best Other Willow Slash


• Best Rare Faith Slash


• Best Rare Pair


• Best Lighthearted (Fluff/Comedy)


• Most Heart-Wrenching (Angst/Dark)


• Best Heat (Smut, sex, innuendo)


• Best Dawn


• Best Willow


• Best Kennedy


• Best Cordelia


• Best Other Character Characterization


• Best Future (Fics that take place after the series finale. Includes comic-compliant fiction.)


• Best AU/AR (For fics that veer widely from the BtVS/Ats canon. Includes all-human, as well as fics set in the buffyverse world.)
  
• Most Original


• Best Platonic (centered around a non-romantic - i.e. friendship or family - relationship between two or more women)

• Judge - We'll need several judges, willing to keep an open mind and...read lots of femmeslash. :)


• Nominate - Nominate your favorite femmeslash pieces once nominations open.


• Pimp - Grab a button or banner and spread the word!
