Hi guys,
I just wanted to let everyone know that I am extending the contest due to some current time management issues. It's only temporarily, but as it conflicts with when the nomination period was suppose to close and the voting was suppose to start, I've decided pushing everything back by two weeks was the best way to go about it. The new dates are as follows:
Nomination Period:
May 1st, 2008 - July 12th, 2008
Voting:
July 13th, 2008 - August 10th, 2008
Winners Announced:
August 15th
Prizes To Be Awarded:
Play-by-ear basis.
Once again, I apologize for my late replies to nominations, approving nominations to the community, adding nominations to the nominee list, and anything else I've been slacking on. I've just been extremely busy and will be until July 10th. Please bear with me!
Otherwise, you guys are awesome :D. Keep those nominations coming!
-April

(I'll spare everyone with the excessive excuses on why this post is so damn late and move onto the good stuff ^_~.)
Wow. This year's contest had an amazing turnout. Thank you all so much for participating. Special thanks goes to the mods who helped me out. I know there were some rocky bits, but I sincerely appreciate your efforts. I've learned a lot on how to run this contest in the future, but that post will come in all due time. Now we should concentrate on finishing the present contest :D.
So, without further ado, I formally present you with the 2008 voting posts! These links will direct you to each category's designated post. All comments will be screened, anonymous votes are not permitted, and we ask at this time that any author of a nominated story to NOT vote for themselves. If you are unable to vote within these terms because you are not a registered user of LiveJournal, please email your votes to: narutochoice@yahoo.com
When emailing your vote, please give the following information to confirm your identity: Your pen name and a link to where you post your fanfiction OR the handle you go by online and your active email address. Let's be honest here folks: No double voting through the use of fake name handles!
Also, before I give you guys the voting links, I'd like to plead with you all to give our VOTING GUIDE a look. WHAT YOU REALLY SHOULD BE VOTING FOR IS NOT YOUR *FAVORITE*, PER SE, BUT WHICH STORIES REPRESENT THEIR CATEGORY OF NOMINATION THE BEST. That's the whole point of having categories, right? Besides, you might find out that you absolutely LOVE a fic that you had never heard of before now :D.
No matter what your choice will be, just know that we thank you for your participation and hope to see you in the years to come! We couldn't have done it without you!
So, without further ado (for real this time!), let the voting commence!
