ROUND ONE (October 1, 2010 - April 1, 2010) - PRIMARIES
What is Bookcrush-A-Thon?
Bookcrush-A-Thon is a fangirly celebration for the best part of every YA book... the totally dreamy fictional guy who could never exist in real life!
There's been a lot of hoopla lately about Team Edward and Team Jacob, Team Peeta and Team Gale, Team Shadowhunter, Team Vampire, Team Werewolf, Team Mortals, Team Immortals, Team Team Team Team Team team team team...
...and I thought, "I wonder whose Team really has the most might."
So now Bookcrush-A-Thon is borne! It's a friendly competition ONLY. NO BASHING IS ALLOWED!
Each round of bookcrushathon will last approximately six months. Twenty-four dreamy bookcrushes. One ultimately dreamy winner per Round! Each week, one more bookcrush will be eliminated until only one is left! It's like Survivor, only not stupid.
Round #001 Primaries!
VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE DREAMY BOOKCRUSH!
These are THE PRELIMINARY NOMINEES for ROUND #001. ☻ This first week of voting (OCTOBER 1 - OCTOBER 8, 2010) will be to narrow down the list to only TWENTY FOUR final candidates for Round #001! So make sure you spread the word "campaigning" for your dreamboy!
THANK YOU to everyone who has helped to make bookcrushathon bigger than I ever thought it would be, with over 250 dreamy bookcrushes nominated in the preliminary round for candidacy in Round #001. A special thanks to the authors themselves who have tweeted or retweeted about #bookcrushathon:E. Lockhart

RULES FOR PRIMARIES VOTING
► You may vote for up to 24 candidates in total!
► You may not vote for more than 3 characters from any one book or book series. That means you MAY vote for "Edward Cullen, Jacob Black, Jasper Whitlock from Twilight; Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter; Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games"
but you may NOT vote for
"Bill Weasley, Blaise Zabini, Cedric Diggory, Charlie Weasley, Colin Creevey, Cormac MacClaggen, Dean Thomas, Dennis Creevey, Draco Malfoy, Ernie MacMillan, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Harry Potter, James Potter, Lucius Malfoy, Michael Corner, Neville Longbottom, Oliver Wood, Percy Weasley, Regulus A. Black, Remus Lupin, Roger Davies, Ron Weasley, Seamus Finnegan from the Harry Potter series."
Let's try to keep it fair and clean; three is a perfectly good, round number of dreamy boys in a particular series, right? Right. This is not a battle between just The Biggest Series Evarrrrr, there are lots of short stories, smaller books, and standalones nominated who deserve a chance, too!
► I can't require it as a rule, but I recommend it: take a few days of this first week to READ some of the books and short stories you aren't familiar with before voting! And if you miss voting for someone dreamy this round, try reading some of the new stories and books before Round #002 starts in April! ☻
