MAFAs, Spring 09
With the success of last year's MAFAs (Merlin/Arthur Fic Awards) and bleu4bleu's decision to begin the vidding awards, I thought it was about time to have another shot at the MAFAs. This time, with added categories!
RULES!
You can nominate any fic, provided it contains the Merlin/Arthur pairing. Pre-slash is included in this.
You can self-nominate fics and nominate more than one fic per category. In fact, nominate as many fics as you want - the more the merrier.
Here, an epic is determined at being over 10,000 words in total,a drabble is 500 words or less, and a chapter fic must have AT LEAST 3 chapters.
Fics from the reel_merlin challenge can ONLY be entered into either the reel_merlin, AU, or crossover categories. STUFF THAT, IT IS A SILLY RULE. NOMINATE THEM FOR ANY CATEGORY, I WAS BEING DAFT WHEN I WROTE THAT.
There is no date cut-off, as it were - nominated fics can have been published at any time.
You may NOT nominate a fic that won any of the categories last time. Runner-ups are not included in this, and can be nominated. A full list of winners can be found here.
No one person is allowed to nominate a single fic in more than THREE different categories. The reason for this can be found here.
To Nominate: To nominate a fic or fics, either comment to this post (comments are screened) or e-mail your nominations to smokey2307@hotmail.com with "nominations" in the subject line. Please make sure that the information is correct, I don't have the time to check every single one!
Please include the following information when nominating a fic:
Category
Title
Author
Story url
Failure to do so will result in me being stroppy and sending you a bitchy email telling you to do it again, and do it properly. It just makes everyone's lives easier.
