Thanks for making this post! ;) Please disregard any nominations for me and my fics. :)

[rozabellalove]

No problem :)

Please disregard any nominations for me or for my community (which only has my fics, so some people get confused), butterflywrites.

Thanks!

[rozabellalove]

No problem, will do :)

On the off chance anyone nominated me please disregard me too. Thanks so much.

[rozabellalove]

Sure, will do :)

To be honest I hadn't really thought about it until it was pointed out to me - that for some this can be upsetting if they don't get a nomination or get one and then don't get votes. And some people felt that it could become a sort of popularity contest so they didn't want to be involved. Which is fine of course - really is their choice.

I hope it doesn't become a popularity contest, I'd like to see it as a way to get some great fics recognised and to have a place where they will all be kept almost as recs really. But anyway that's the main reason :)

A popularity contest seems weird to me, but I get it. We are all adults... in theory. I am trying to read sample fics for every author before I vote.

Actually... that's a good idea. Like, when a writer is nominated instead of a specific story, I'd LOVE to see the nominator link to an example so I could track it down easily.

Anyway, thanks for running this. Can I say "it's an honor just to be nominated" without sounding lame? LOL!!

[rozabellalove]

Yeah, I know secondplatypus has put a few examples with each of her author nominations, something of a 'best of'!

And as you say, if you read some of the author's work or the piece itself then you have a better idea of what you are voting for.

Lol - the honour's all ours ;)

Ooooh, she is awesome sauce. And one of my favorite fic writers! I'm trying to compile my nominations, but damn, it's hard. There are SO many fantastic writers/artists/etc. to choose from.

[rozabellalove]

I know! As a mod I can nominate too but I think since there have been so many already I'm just gonna sit back and let the awesomeness roll in then read it AAAALLL (eventually)
