...let the voting begin!
I'm sure at least some of you have been wondering why the voting hasn't started. Well, Hurricane Ike did a number on various fans and I wanted to be sure that (a) power was restored, (b) internet connections were restored and (c) everyone had a chance to read the stories/look at the art prior to my setting up the voting process.
So here goes:
Voting should be based on the following qualifications:
Fanart:
1. Portrayal of Ed/Winry
2. Composition (i.e., do you think the artist did a good job portraying the subject matter?)
3. Use of prompt
4. Content of illustration (i.e., is it pleasing? Balanced? The colors convey what you think the artist is wanting you to see?)
Fanfic:
1. Portrayal of Ed/Winry
2. Composition (i.e., use of English language, sentence structure, etc.)
3. Use of prompt
4. Content of story (i.e., are the characters "in-character"? Does the storyline make sense?)
Please vote for only two in each category (art/fic). All comments are screened, which means this post is where you vote. Anonymous comments are allowed, however, I do have an ISPN tracker. Please to not be stuffing ballots, kthx.
You have until Friday, October 3rd, 2008, 11:59 EST, to complete the voting process (again, to allow for those who've been without power/internets to catch up to the rest of us).
What are you waiting for? Go vote!
eta: Two separate fic entries posted previously were rough drafts sent by mistake of the authors. Please be sure to check the entries carefully, as two entries were reposted to reflect the completed versions of the stories. Thank you!
