Upon receipt, all submitted works will be divided among the members of the jury
for verification that the work has followed the rules in their entirety. If a
given work has not followed the established rules, the fanfiction will be brought
to the attention of the remaining jury members, whereupon the jury will decide
if the infraction requires a minor change (of which the author will recieve a
notification via email), or disqualification.

submitted work shall be posted at a date to be announced after the receipt of all

will be given to the author. All works will remain posted unless expressly requested by
the author after the completion of the contest.
12. The voting shall be limited to a period of thirty-one (31) days after the submissions
have been posted. The voting shall be limited to the review board of the Fanfiction.net

work. Reviews may be posted on Battle Forum
