Round Four Results http://sshg-awards.livejournal.com/33715.html *waves* I'm just popping on to say that Shug had asked me to go through the nominations and votes for round four to check for authenticity and after having done so I can say that the results are valid. My congratulations to all of the participants, whether you had a fic in the running or were someone that took the time to nominate and vote for your favorite stories. | | Thursday, December 24th, 2009 | | 1:46 am |

Clarification on when voting ends http://sshg-awards.livejournal.com/31344.html Apparently I cannot read a calendar. I've been saying that voting ends at midnight on Friday, December 5. Um, except the 5th is on Saturday. Oops. SO. Just to be absolutely clear on when voting ends ... You can vote until MIDNIGHT, SATURDAY DECEMBER 5. Meaning, Friday night/Saturday morning at midnight. Sorry about the confusion! | | 6:23 pm |

And the nominees for Round Four are ... http://sshg-awards.livejournal.com/29642.html 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!

So many fics ... http://sshg-awards.livejournal.com/29783.html With so many stories to vote on this round, you may find it it difficult to keep track of all those fics. As she did last year, pyjamapants has once again made us a handy dandy spreadsheet just for this purpose and has offered to share it with everyone. Isn't that lovely of her? Thank you, pyjamapants! She had a bit of an issue with googledocs, but here it the link to what she calls "the crummy version." ;) http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tzsfkr1V6tRH7dr9Nju-cPg&output=htmlPJ says: There are two tabs: stories and authors. Stories contains the stories that were nominated. The first column lists stories which are nominated in multiple categories. The author tab lists individuals nominated for either best author or best new author. Then there's a column that provides a link to either their nomination post or their Ashwinder story page. | | Thursday, November 5th, 2009 | | 6:04 am |

Update on voting! http://sshg-awards.livejournal.com/30351.html Things are going really well with voting, so keep those votes coming! I just wanted to make a couple of reminders. 1. You only get to vote ONCE. You can't come back later and add to your ballot. So if you were thinking you'd vote a little at a time, I'm sorry, but you can't do that. Send in your votes all at once, in one post or email. 2. If you do not have an LJ account, you can still participate. However, you must email your ballot to moste.potente.passions at gmail dot com. Anonymous LJ posts are not accepted. 3. Voting does not end until December 5 at midnight, so it is still VERY early in the voting phase of this round. Let your vote count to the fullest by participating fully! I understand that some categories may not be everyone's cup of tea, and it's fine not to vote in every single category. But it's far too early to see a ballot with a vote for just one category, and by doing so, you could be missing out on stories you might really enjoy! So read, review, and vote. You've got plenty of time! CLICK HERE TO VOTE | | Saturday, November 21st, 2009 | | 5:17 pm |
Voting update! http://sshg-awards.livejournal.com/30703.html Voting for round four is going very well! Thanks to all who have voted thus far! We are about halfway through the voting period. You still have two weeks left, so plenty of time to get in some reading and voting. A few reminders. 1. Please remember to read the rules before voting. 2. You only get to vote ONCE. You can't come back later and add to your ballot. Send in your votes all at once, in one post or email. 3. Follow the proper format. Read, review, and vote!

Important Announcement http://sshg-awards.livejournal.com/29032.html Due to similar circumstances as Round Three, voting for Round Four will be delayed until November 5th. We had the most nominations of any round thus far ... and roughly 2/3 of those came in during the last three days. All nominations are now in the official spreadsheet, but they still need to be verified, and authors will need to be contacted and given time to accept their nominations. There just isn't enough time before November 1st to get it all done. So, voting will begin at midnight on November 5th. Thanks again to everyone who participated. We had a record turn out in the end, with lots of new participants. Now, let's see those record numbers continue for the voting portion! | | Thursday, October 29th, 2009 | | 2:34 pm |
Announcement http://sshg-awards.livejournal.com/29414.html I am in the process of notifying authors of their nominations and awaiting their acceptances. I anticipate posting the list of final nominees on November 3, so please be patient! :) In the meantime, you might start seeing banners on LJ from those who have already received their email and accepted their nominations. A HUGE thanks to pearle9240 for making our fabulous nominee banners! Voting will begin at midnight on Thursday, November 5 and run through Saturday, December 5. |
