Okey Dokey.

Well, guys, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome to the last year of your lives :) 2012, man. And I'm guessing that most of the people reading this are still in their teens, or preteens? Well, congratulations, because you've spent your whole life in school!

Yay.

You'll never get to publish that novel, never get to become a ski instructor, and never get to own that goat. Dreams. Crushed.

But enough of my cheery, sarcastic comments about the so called "2012 apocalypse". You're all here to find out who got nominated, right?

Well, as you all know, I laid down some rules in the first chapter of this competition, and unfortunately, a few of the stores nominated breached those rules. But I decided I would tell you these stories were nominated, anyways.

The Unaccepted Nominees are...

- We Are One by America's Ham. (This FF was published in 2010)

- Daphne's Distraction by Lara D (This FF was published in 2010)

- Never Gonna Happen Challenge by Curlscat (This FF was published in 2009)

- A Story of the Worst Kind by RockSuperstar (This FF was published in 2009)

- When you Give the Grimms Computers by zoocan (This FF was published in 2010)

Also, (and I quote) "all of ahack6s crap i guess" was nominated, but unfortunately this competition is for Sisters Grimm Fanfiction, not human feces, so ahack6's digested waste, unfortunately, could not be accepted

Trololololol, I'm hilarious, I know.

Anyways. This year there were a STACK of fanfictions nominated. Heaps. I would liken the mass of nominees to a tsunami, or a stampede. Or an outbreak of Polio disease. I'm talking 33 fanfictions. Last year there were 14.

Yikes, people.

Now, I don't know about you guys, but I think that because there are so many nominees, we need to narrow the bunch down a bit. Which is why, THIS YEAR...

...THERE WILL BE TWO ROUNDS OF VOTING! I REPEAT, TWO ROUNDS OF VOTING!

So, these are the nominees (not to be confused with the finalists)

See how many there were? Well, there are a lot. Which is why I've decided that we're going to have to round them down to ten.

Okay, so heres how the voting works:

Rule 1) You guys get to vote for 3 stories from the Nominations List, and 3 STORIES ONLY. No more, but you MAY vote for LESS than three stories.
Rule 2) The top ten stories, which are the ten fanfictions which received the most votes.
Rule 3) Voting will close on the 17th OF JANUARY, and on the 20th I will update with the top ten.
Rule 4) If there are ties, the story that is completed will come out on top. If neither of the tying stories are complete, both will go into the final list, which will be extended
Rule 5) Those with accounts MUST, I repeat MUST vote via PM, unless your PMing device is deactivated (switched off, whatever). Those without accounts (anons) may vote via a review.

So, Three Stories or Less, You have until the 17th Of Jan, Members Vote Via PM, and Anons Vote Via Review!

Good luck to all! And vote Wisely ;)
