A/N: I am truly honored and amazed at the reception this idea has received. I do plan on making this a yearly thing, so expect one to pop up every October. As for the nominations... let's get this started.

Dipper and Mabel couldn't help but stare with eyes three times the normal size at the computer monitor they were sitting in front of. "This is amazing Mabel!" Dipper exclaimed happily. "I can't believe, we already have nine favorites, fourteen followers and twenty six reviews!" Dipper chuckled. "People were so excited they already started to nominate."

Mabel turned to give her brother a high-five. They slapped their hands together as Stan walked into the room. "I heard high-fiving. That better mean money in my pocket."

"Grunkle Stan, your wallet will be over flowing by time the awards show is finished." Dipper said confidently.

"That's what I like to hear!" Stan exclaimed excitedly.

Dipper brought up a site where he could create the nomination ballots and began typing furiously on the keyboard. Mabel watched as Stan left the room as quickly as he came to go ready up the shack for the grand event.

Step 1 (Continued): Thank you to everyone who decided to come up with more category ideas. Since we already have a lot, I could only accept a few ideas, even though many of them were good ones. Here are the new categories that have been added... (Chapter One has been updated to reflect these changes.)

Scariest Moment In A Gravity Falls Fan Fiction: This award will be given to the scariest scene/moment that had us shaking in our boots or frightened for/with our characters.

Saddest Moment In A Gravity Falls Fan Fiction: This award will be given to the saddest scene/moment that had us in tears or even crying because of the events that occurred in that scene.

Sweetest Moment In A Gravity Falls Fan Fiction: This award will be given to the sweetest scene/moment that had us going awww, because of something romantic or happy that happened to the characters.

Best International Gravity Falls Fan Fiction: This award will be given to the best Gravity Falls Fan Fiction that is not in the English language. (Follows same criteria as Best Gravity Falls Fan Fiction)

Gravity Falls Fan Fiction Most Likely To Be An Episode of The Show: This award will be given to the best fan fic that would most likely be an episode of the show airing on Disney Channel.

2012 Best Gravity Falls Fan Fiction: Following the same criteria as the Best Gravity Falls Fan Fiction award, this will be dedicated to the best story of last year.

Best Gravity Falls Fan Fiction Reviewer: This award will be given to the person that is always critiquing, commenting and reviewing our work. Their comments are encouraging and even help us improve our writing.

"I like these ideas." Mabel said with a smile as she tapped her foot on the ground.

Dipper looked over the list and went through it again. "I think it's perfect." He said nodding. "Now, we just need to create the ballots."

Step 2: Nominations!

It is the moment y'all have been waiting for! Time to nominate the best of the best for each category. The amount of participation is completely up to you guys! Feel free to nominate as many fics/authors as you want. However, THEY CANNOT BE YOUR OWN! I can't stress that enough.

There are three possible ways to nominate your favorites.

1. PM Them To Me.

2. Put it in the review section (If you don't mind it being visible)

3. There's a Nomination Ballot link on my PROFILE PAGE at the very top! I would prefer if you chose this method to nominate, since it makes it easier for me to keep track of all the nominations.

Please, please, please vote for as many as you want. The more nominations, the better. This nomination process will take about three weeks and there will be an update about mid-way through. (If you already sent me some nominations, it's ok. You may send more!)

Also, regarding stories that aren't 10 chapters long. As long as they are actively moving forward and look to reach the 10 chapter mark by the first week of November, feel free to vote for them.

"Looks good Dip!" Mabel said with a brace filled smile to her brother.

"I hope so." Dipper clicked the mouse, posting the nomination ballot. "Now, we wait..."

A/N: For all of you that read my stories, I have a new poll up on my profile page regarding my next story. I'm going to let y'all decide! So please vote there if you'd like. :)

Happy nominating everybody!
