Nominations for the 2008 Superman Movieverse Fanfiction Awards will officially open on June 1, 2008. There has been a lot of great fanfiction this last year, with some of our 2007 writers finishing their epics, and a lot of fresh new talent as well!

Before the nominations officially get underway, I would like to get some input from the people who watch this community about the nomination categories. Several people expressed a need for categories which did not exist last year, so I'd like to open the floor to suggestions.

( The list of categories from 2007 )


Please make suggestions of categories to add and remove from this list. The mods really appreciate your input, though final decisions will belong to us.

Any LJ member is free to comment. Anonymous comments are accepted, though screened. Feel free to pimp this anywhere online. :)
