And the nominees for Round Four are ...
Below the cut are the final nominees for round four of the SS/HG Awards. This looks to be another difficult round for voting!
Just a reminder as to how nominations work: The five stories/authors that received the most nominations per category are our finalists. Things get shuffled around a bit, as an author can only have one story per category, and a story can on be a final nominee in two categories. Sometimes there are ties for that fifth spot, so there may be more than five in a category. In this round, the most for any one category is eight.
Nominations are listed in alphabetical order. Links are provided. I used the link that the first person who nominated each story provided, so there's really no rhyme or reason to that. Authors, if you prefer a different link, please let me know. If something isn't working, please leave a comment so I can fix it.
Congratulations to everyone who was nominated! A huge thank you to pearle9240 for making our beautiful nominee banners!
Voting begins at midnight (CST) on Thursday, November 5 and will run through midnight (CST) on Saturday, December 5.
Happy reading!
