So, thanks to the Hetalia community for giving me this idea!
The below text is by Christoph Andretti, but edited for content.
Go vote on the official forums, which will be posted onto my profile soon!
Hello ladies and gentleman! Welcome to the 2015 FMA Awards: Nomination Phase!
This is a new idea, and I would like to try it for this year!
A nominee must be nominated by a person. In order for a fic to be nominated, it must be supported by at least one other person. A shortlist, in case of over 5 nominees all categories except Best Fic, will be announced. The top 5 are our official nominees and will be voted on for the winner.
In order for a fic to be nominated, all it has to qualify for is if it has updated on or since January 1st, 2015. No fics offsite are allowed, although crossposted fics posted both on-site and on somewhere like LiveJournal or AO3, like Hero of the People, by Moonlit Water Suuny River are allowed.
Interviews with nominees and winners will be conducted during the voting phase.
Here are the categories:
Best Fic
Best Author
Best Male Character (OCs can be included)
Best Female Character (OCs can be included)
Best Original Character
Best Supporting Male Character (OCs can be included)
Best Supporting Female Character (OCs can be included)
Best Writing (dialogue, plot, and characterizations)
Best Imagery (detail, action, and scenery)
Best Series (any series over 2 accepted)
Best Oneshot (1-3 shots accepted)
Best Anthology (compiliation of 4 or more Oneshots)
Best Mature Fic (rated M on-site)
Although I suggest posting to the forum for nominations, you may also PM or put your nominations in a review.
There are also 3 'special' awards, that I will reveal before the grand finale.
Nominations close on June 30th!
Good luck fans, and nominate!
