April 2008 Voting (finally)
It took a while, but I know people are busy and it is summer still. Thank you to everyone who turned in nominations; we know there was a lot to nominate for this month and there are a ton of stories on the list. And considering how difficult it was to get nominations this time around, if anyone has any suggestions to make the process easier or faster, please speak up and share your thoughts (it's your community too so you have a say in things).
Consider that there is so much to vote on, I understand more time will have to be allowed for this. Now on to the rules we all know by hard :p
[x] Do NOT vote for yourself.
[x] Unless otherwise stated, you MAY vote for more than one entry per category. You may NOT vote for more than three for each category unless otherwise noted.
[x] You must vote for EVERY category. The ONLY exception is: if there is a category where only entries you've written were nominated.
[x] You must post your choices in this thread ONLY. If you have any problems, contact me
[x] Do NOT vote tactically. This means you shouldn't vote for your least favorite entry to improve your chances at winning, using clone accounts, having friends vote for you and only for you, etc.
[x] Voting will done on a scale of 1-3, with 3 being the first choice for the given award, 1 being the last. Example:
Best General
Story A - 3
Story B - 2
Story C - 1
Please...make the scale from highest to lowest. It's easier on me.
[x] Cast your votes by Saturday, June 28th, 11:59PM PST.
Best General
