Dates:

Round Four will open for nominations on January 23, 2009.

Rules:

1. Only Fan Fiction, Graphics and Music Videos written (completed, in the case of a chaptered WIP) or created during the third year of Numb3rs (January 23, 2007 - January 22, 2008) are eligible for nomination this round. Websites, etc. must have been up and running prior to the start of the awards to be eligible.

2. You may not nominate yourself.

3. You do not have to accept your nomination. You may decline to participate in the awards in whole or in part. If you choose not to participate in the awards, merely reply to your Nomination notification or contact any member of the Numb3rs Awards Committee.

4. There must be at least three (3) nominations per category for a category to be voted on. If there are not at least three (3) nominations, the category will be merged with another where possible. If it is not possible (for example, angst/dark will not be merged with humor/fluff), then the category will be removed from voting and where possible the fic moved to another category.

5. An Author/Artist/Vidder may only be nominated twice per category. (Please note that a writing team will be considered a separate entity than an individual Author/Artist/Vidder.)

6. A single piece of Fan Fiction may only be nominated in up to three (3) categories. A single Graphic or Music Video may only be nominated in one (1) category.

7. An Author/Artist/Vidder must have at least two pieces nominated to be eligible for the Outstanding Author/Artist/Vidder category. (Please note that the Outstanding Author/Artist/Vidder category is separate from and does not count towards the categories an individual fic/graphic/vid may be nominated for.)

8. To be eligible for the Series category, there must be at least three fic in the series. Also, a Series is the only exception to the ‘must be written in the last year’ rule. So long as a new story in the series has been written within the last year, the series as a whole will be eligible for the Series category only, UNLESS it won in the Series category last round. (Please note that a series of drabbles must be nominated in the Drabble Series category.)

9. An individual fic from a series may be nominated separate from the series, however it must be nominated in the same format (Gen, Het or Slash) as the overall series. (For example, a fic from a slash series must be nominated under Slash even if that individual fic is rated G and would normally be considered Gen if it were a standalone piece.) If the series contains elements of both het and slash, pick the format you think it best fits based upon which pairing is the main focus of the fic. (Please note that the Series category counts towards the total of three categories a fic may be nominated in, so if you nominate a series of fic in the Series category, the individual fic may then only be nominated separately in two additional categories.)

10. Only one fic per original character may be nominated in the Original Character category.

11. Some threesome/moresomes may include both elements of het and slash; nominate the fic where you feel it best belongs based on your overall feel from the fic. You may not nominate the same fic under both Het and Slash.

12. A website/community/forum/group that won the previous year may not be nominated the next two rounds.

13. If an Author/Artist/Vidder has already been nominated the allotted number of times per category or per Fan Fiction/Graphic/Music Video, no additional nominations will be accepted. Please check the updated list of Nominees before you nominate.

14. WIPs are not allowed. All Fan Fiction must be complete. (And while that should not be an issue for Graphics and Music Videos, I’ll say it anyway just so there’s no confusion: must be complete.)

15. Real Person Fan Fiction, Graphics or Music Videos are not allowed.

16. All nominations must be archived someplace where everyone can view them. Nominations with links to sites requiring a password, f-locked LJs, forums, message boards or Yahoo groups will not be accepted.

17. In addition, all links must be direct so we don’t have to search for the nominated piece.

~Fan Fiction - link directly to the fic.
~Graphics - link directly to the graphic. (If you need someplace to host a graphic you’d like to nominate, Numb3rs Awards has an account at Photobucket, http://s37.photobucket.com/albums/e81/numb3rsawards/. Username: numb3rsawards; Password: eppesbros [case-sensitive]. Please use the Round Three folder.)
~Music Videos - link to the page that lists the music videos rather than the download link.

If the link you give us does not work, we will not track down another link. Your nomination will be deleted.

18. Any Graphic or Music Video you nominate must be shareable so we don’t offend the creator. If they made a purely personal piece, please do not nominate it here.

19. If you don’t comply with the rules, or if you submit an incomplete nomination form, your nomination will be deleted without warning.

20. If a Fan Fiction/Graphic/Music Video doesn’t fic the category it was nominated in (an angst fic nominated in humor, for example), we may, at our discretion, either move it to the correct category or delete it.

21. You may only vote once per category.

22. You are not required to vote in every genre/format (Gen Fic, Het Fic, Slash Fic, Graphics, Music Videos, Website).

23. You are not required to vote in every category.

24. You may vote for yourself.

25. We reserve the right to make the final decisions on all disputes.

For additional information, please check out the FAQ.

Please note that these Rules and the FAQ will be updated as necessary; the Rules were last updated 3/27/08.

Categories:

Fan Fiction

Fan Fiction will be broken up into Gen/Het/Slash, and will be further divided into the following categories:

-AU/AR: Fic that differ dramatically from canon. Don isn’t in the FBI or Charlie isn’t a genius math professor, for example.
-Angst/Dark: Fic that deal with angsty, dark, depressing, upsetting or tragic subject matter.
-Before & After: Fic that take place either pre-series or post-series.
-Case-related: An FBI case is the main emphasis of the fic.
-Crack: Fic that fall quite far outside the norm. Aliens-made-them-do-it, genderswapping or mpreg, for example.
-Crossover: Fic that crossover with another fandom.
-Drabble: A fic of 100-300 words. Please note that this is the only category a Drabble may be nominated in.
-Drabble Series: A series of 3 or more Drabbles as defined above.
-Drama: Fic that are filled with action, conflict, emotion or other exciting qualities.
-Episode Related: Fic that contain a missing scene, are an episode rewrite, or are an episode tag.
-Humor/Fluff: Fic that are humorous or have a happy, light subject matter.
-Hurt/Comfort: Fic that contain elements of hurt (whether psychological or physical) and comfort.
-Kink: Fic that contain a kink, such as public sex, cuffs or cross-dressing.
-Novella: A longer fic of at least 20,000 words.
-Original Character: Fic that contain an especially interesting, devious, likable, or otherwise memorable original character.
-Outstanding Author: An Author you believe has produced high quality fan fiction. Please note that the Author must have at least two pieces nominated to be eligible for this category.
-PWP: This stands for “porn without plot.” These fic are normally shorter, one-shot fic and should be rated NC17 or Adult.
-Romance: Elements of romance are the main emphasis of the fic.
-Series: A series of at least three related standalone fic. Please note that 1) a chaptered story is not a series of fic and 2) a series of Drabbles may only be nominated under the Drabble Series category.
