--There is no limit to how many fics can be nominated per category.

--Most categories have one for Completed works and one for In Progress works. Completed works must have been completed between January 1st, 2025 and December 31st, 2025. Works In Progress must have been updated at least once between January 1st, 2025 and December 31st, 2025.

--If there is only one category, nominated fics can be either Complete or WIP.

--Fics can be nominated in multiple categories.

--First Place winners of previous years’ categories are ineligible for nomination. Second and Third Place winners are still eligible.

--Yearly “Exclusive” categories are open for fics from any year, regardless of previous wins.

--Authors are limited to ONE fic nominated per category, so choose wisely.

--Please nominate a specific piece of fan art for the Fan Art categories, preferably with a link to the source. We will NOT count general artist nominations for any category except Artist of the Year.

--Please do not spam the same nomination in any categories - even a single nomination means the fic/author will be listed in the poll for voting.
