The Fourth Annual Wicked Awards Chapter 1: Nominations!, a wicked fanfic

Well, I waited for and wondered when the new Wicked awards would come out. Now that October has come and gone, I decided to host them myself! I deeply apologize if anyone else planned to do them, but I couldn't wait for a reply to my PM, as I will be leaving town soon. So...

Hello one and all! It's that time again...the time you've all been waiting for...it's...(drumroll and Star Wars theme)...The Forth Annual Wicked Awards!

Yes, I've carried on a four year tradition of picking our favorite stories and honoring them with the Greg Award.

Rules: (same as last year's, thanks to Ha Chosen One!)

1. You can only nominate up to three stories or authors in each category.

2. You cannot nominate yourself.

3. Nominations must be pertinent (no Floqs in the Gelphie category, please).

4. Nominations must be from within the Wicked archive, with the exception of crossovers.

5. Try to keep each nomination for a story to a limit of two categories. (i.e., one story for best crossover and best Fiyeraba, but no more categories, etc.)

6. To qualify for the Unknown Fic, the fic must have fewer than 4 reviews per chapter (if a drabble, less than 3 reviews total).

7. To qualify for the Dead Story, it must have been officially discontinued by the author or have not updated in at least 4 months.

8. Be nice to the host: include the name of the story's author, and, when nominating the best OC, both author and story.

All nominations must be in by December 11th, a month from now. So, kick back with a comfy chair and your computer to go looking for that story that you forgot the name of but read that one time and it was really good. Too bad you accidentally erased your history...

Nomination can be sent in via review or email, preferably the first.

Unfortunately, there is no actual trophy that will be sent to you if you win. However, you will have bragging rights forever, a sense of accomplishment, and will be able to show your great-grandkids this webpage and tell of one of the few things you ever manage to win (those contests are rigged...I know it!).
