by Fae'sFlower

Hello, everyone! It's that time of year again! The Annual 'Wicked' Greg Awards! Time to nominate and vote for your favorite 'Wicked' fanfiction writers and stories. I volunteered to host for 2015. Please read rules and regulations carefully.

1. Nominations!

Good day, fellow people of the Wicked archive. It is I, Fae'sFlower, and it's that time of year again! What time of year? I'm so glad you asked! It's time for the Ninth Annual (Wicked) Greg Awards! *Applause*

What are the Greg Awards, you ask? The Greg Awards are similar to the Tony Awards or the Oscars, except it's for Wicked fanfiction authors and stories. It is named after Gregory McGuire, the author of the book that started all of this wonderfulness.

I'm super excited to be your host this year. Thank you to NellytheActress (2014 host) for allowing me this great privilege. I apologize to all who wanted to host this year's awards. Maybe next year will be your lucky year.

You have exactly one (1) month to submit nominations via review or PM. From there, I will compile a list of the nominations and voting will begin. Please nominate wisely and don't be bias.

RULES:

1: You can only nominate up to three (3) stories or authors per category.

2: You CANNOT nominate yourself.

3: Nominations must be pertinent (No Flogs in the Gelphie category, please)

4: Nominations must be in the Wicked archive (Except for crossovers)

5: Try to keep each nomination for a story to a limit of two (2) categories. (I.E: one story for best crossover and best Fiyeraba, but no more categories, ect.)

6: To qualify for 'Best Unknown Fic', the fic must have fewer than four (4) reviews per chapter (if it's a drabble, less than three (3) reviews per total).

7: To quality for 'Best Dead Story', the fic must have been officially discontinued by the author or not have been updated in at least four (4) months.

Nominations close November 30th, 2015 at 12:00pm EST, a month from today. Nominations can be submitted via review or a PM, if you chose not to publicly show whom you are nominating. If you choose to PM me, please make the subject "2015 Greg Award Nominations" to make this easier for both you and me.

Also, I cannot stress Rule Number 9 enough. Please make sure all of your entries are eligible. I will double-check all nominations to make sure that they are, and it they're not, they will not be included, out of fairness to the other nominations. Also, stories that won a Greg Award in a previous year, regardless if it was updated within this past year, is NOT eligible.

And now, without further ado, let the nominating begin! Good luck to all!
