WL_FANFICTION AWARDS 2009 STORY LIST

[clayangel.livejournal.com]

IT'S FINALLY DONE! I haven't had the time yet to go through and check all my links and everything, so if you spot a mistake, let me know.

List of eligible stories for the 2009 awards.

NOW IS THE TIME TO BE CATCHING UP ON READING. (And don't forget to play along with Feedback Month while we do so. ^_^) Please use this list to go through and catch up on your 2009 reading with the previous year's categories in mind. (Which will once more be posted under a cut at the bottom.)

And speaking of categories, what do we think of adding a horror/squick category? Yes? No? Please leave a comment if you have an opinion. Also, should "Best characterization of Jeff" be changed? we had it in previous years because of the amount of Jeff fic, but we have a LOT of Chip this year, too, so it doesn't seem to make as much sense. Should we take the Jeff one out (we do have an "other" category) or maybe add a Chip one in? Or just leave it?

The nominations polls will be posted on Friday, January 8th and will be left up for one week. So starting now, that gives everyone about 12 days to read up and nominate their favorite fic. Is this enough time?

I will post reminders throughout the week to nominate and I know it's hard to read through all that fic and pick and choose, but without nominations, the awards can't go through, so PLEASE make an effort to nominate. Thank you all so much! Have fun and happy reading! ^__^
