*clears throat* *taps mic* Is this thing on? It is! WELL HELLO everyone, I see you're doing well. Welcome to the Tenth Annual Wicked Greg Awards! In this humble awards ceremony we recognize the peak of talent in the archive, in every category you could think of! I got the nomination by asking Fae'sFlower (the 2015 host) if anyone had signed up back in August, and no one had, so here I am!

You have one (1) month, until November 30th, 2016, to submit nominations by review of this story or by PM.

RULES

1. You may nominated a max of three (3) authors or stories in any one category

2. No nominating yourself

3. Nominations must pertain to the category they were submitted to (no Fiyeraba in the Gelphie, for example)

4. With the exception of crossovers, all nominations must be in the Wicked archive

5. For one story, limit nominations to two (2) categories at most (like maybe best AU and best drabble, but no more)

6. For "Best Unknown Fic", it must have less than four (4) reviews per chapter, or, if it's a drabble/oneshot, less than three (3) reviews total

7. For "Best Dead Fic", it must have been officially discontinued by the author or not been updated in at least four (4) months

8. To qualify for "Best New Author", the author must have a sign up date (found on their profile) of after October 31st, 2015

9. Be nice to the host: include the name of a story and, when nominating for best OC, include both story and author

Make sure all of your nominations follow every rule, specifically Rule 10. Check to make sure your story or author has been updated or active since the required date. Anything outside of any guidelines WILL NOT be allowed, no exceptions. It's the rules, just follow them, please. Also, if any STORY won in a previous Greg Awards, it will NOT be allowed to re-enter.

Now let the games begin! Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor! (I had to)
