I know this whole process has been a ton of work, and I don't want to sound like a squeaky wheel, but...
Questions/comments: 1) are we to assume that if we nominated someone and they are not on this list that they declined? 2) I assume that you added more categories for cross-gen because there were so many nominees, which is really nice to see... but shouldn't you make an announcement stating that you did that and shouldn't people have been given the opportunity before voting closed to nominate people in both categories? Adding new categories after the voting is over seems a little weird to me, but as it means more cross gen representation, I'm happy to see it. 3) Voting would be a million times easier and you would get A LOT more votes if you made this a poll. Filling out each of those category thingies takes AGES. And frankly, you are only going to get the most devoted people filling all those out. 4) for the "Most Outstanding" noms, it would be lovely to have a link to their masterlist available.
1) yes - about a dozen people either never responded or declined. There were a few stories that had to be moved or removed for either being WIP (nominated in non-WIP category) or cross-gen (in non-cross gen category) although when possible we tried to move them to proper category 2) We split slash cross-gen in half since we had more than 11 nominees for that category. It was either that or just leaving out 4 of the nominees from the vote. 3) This is more difficult voting system than a poll, but it will also help cut down on people who just come over to vote for their friends without bothering to actually read the other nominations. 4) I'm not even sure if all the nominees have master lists... we could do some exploring to figure it out, but if some do and some don't it might not be fair, since it wasn't a requirement of being nominated for the outstanding category
