Voting for Slashy Oscars 2009 is open!
The nominations have been tallied, the authors have been contacted, and finally we give you the Slashy Oscars 2009 finalists!
Please notice that each category is followed by a voting poll. Write only the name of the fic for which you are voting unless otherwise specified and only vote once. You do not have to vote in all the categories right away. We encourage you to read the fics that are nominated. They're not here unless they have something special. You can always come back to vote once you've made your decisions. After you've voted in a poll, the poll will "go away" but the others will stay up until you've voted.
Results from polls are viewable to none. Voting is completely anonymous in that way.
Only LiveJournal users will be allowed to vote in the polls.
If you do not have a LiveJournal account and do not care to create a free account, you can vote manually by e-mail. At the end of the voting post you'll see a list we would like you to copy and paste in your email and fill it out with your votes.
Do not post votes in a comment to this post. Votes in comments will be ignored and deleted. Comments are screened to be sure.
Voting will end at 11:59 pm EST on the 25th of February. Results will be posted on the 1st of March.
Take your time with the voting. Discover new fics you haven’t read and read the old ones you love again. If you notice a link not working, please let us know in a comment!
And remember, this is all in good fun!
Please note that the Long Fics - Best BDSM category is not on the voting ballot this year. There is no need for it. According to your unanimous nominations, the best long BDSM fic of 2008 is Die Falke (The Falcon) by sileya and arieltachna. They will get their winner's banner together with the others, on March 1. Congratulations!
