If you have a story that would fit these categories that were finished on or before Jan. 22, 2010, please bring them to my attention.
Actually, if you have any fic that you are proud of and would like to see nominated, please bring them to my attention.
One last thing, I need an email in order to nominate you. If you don't want to give me your main email, there are free email addresses available through Yahoo, Gmail and various other sources. I've had to pass on nominating several excellent stories because I didn't have an email address to insert into the nomination. (The email addresses are not kept, they're only used to inform the writer that their story has been nominated. This gives the writer a chance to decline to participate.)
Good luck, happy (or angsty) writing and let me know how things turn out.
Or write an entire story! You have one week!
