That standard-issue reminder and kick-in-the-tush post

[paynesgrey]

So here we are! We only have a few more days left to nominate stories! We've got slews of entries in some categories, but others are still struggling. Here's the tally so far:

Action/Adventure - 4
AU/AR - 7
Backstory - 6
Characterization - 5
Comedy - 6
Crossover - 2
Drama - 8
Ensemble - 5
Erotica - 4
Romance - 7
Drabble - 4
Vignette - 9
Novel - 2
Epic - 3
New Author - 5
WIP - 4

As a general rule, we like to have at least six nominations in each category for proper voting. Otherwise, some categories will either get dropped, or combined.

If you're struggling to find entries that are eligible, here are a few places you can rummage around in for some poetentials:

Specifically for the Drabble and Vignette categories, Look in 100shards, iypoems, iyfic_contest, and iyissekiwa.

Specifically for Erotica, you might want to look in iy_ecchi_style

For all other general categories, here are some other choices: 30shards, inuyasha_fanfic, iy_flashfic, hanyou_tales, iy_no_kakera, and altpair_inufic.

Good luck! And don't forget we're still taking applications for judges!
