Come one, come all!

Welcome, ladies and gents, to the first quarterly Bulbagarden Fanfiction Awards! After so much time, I and the rest of the Workshop mods finally got the green light and were allowed to start this project. You'll find the rules quite simple.

The Awards are divided in three stages. The first one is the current one, nominations, which is exactly what it says on the tin. For a period of one week- from today, 10th June, to 17th June, you are allowed to nominate up to two fics of your liking in one of the appropriate categories. You don't have to nominate a fic for every category, but we'll be glad if you do. Of course, keep in mind that this is all serious business and you should not nominate a fic just because or because you're friends with the author. Also, no author is allowed to nominate/vote for his/her own fic. That would result in immediate disqualification. And if you think of using sockpuppets, be prepared for infractions and/or banning. Recognising them is quite easy for every mod.

After the week passes, another thread will be opened- for voting. The details will be given once we arrive at that point but basically, the readers will vote on one of the nominees for each category. Authors are allowed to vote as well, as long as it is not for their own fic.

The third stage will be the voting for the best overall of the two category tiers- the Story and the Character one. Once again, details will be given at a later point, but basically, you vote for the best story or character. The trick is, the only fics you'll be allowed to vote for are the winners of the specific fic categories in their tier.

Now, here are the categories, tiers and all, so you can understand my ramblings me better:



Story tier

Best Serial

Best One-shot

Best Journey Fic

Best Shipping Fic

Best Dark Fic

Best Future Fic

Best Non-Pokemon Fic

Best Other Fic

Overall award: Best Story


Character Tier:

Best Main Character

Best Supporting Character

Best Villian

Best Take On A Canon Character

Best Original Character

Overall award: Best Character

Once again I repeat, no nominating/voting for the Overall category yet. It comes much later. Nominate only for the standard, non-bolded ones. The template for nominating is: copy the categories, delete the overall awards categories and beneath each category, write which fic/s you'd like to nominate and paste it in this thread. It is advisable you provide us with links to said fanfics.

Important: this thread is for submitting your nominations only. Any questions should go in the suggestions thread, which has been around for several weeks. Any offtopic posts here will be zapped.

Good luck to all writers out there and let's hope the best get nominated and win!

Given that these are the Bulbagarden Awards, they have to be on Bulbagarden. Duh.

I might nominate a few more before the deadline. Please be sure to re-check my post before finishing writing up the nominations. Thanks.

'TBA' doesn't mean that I'm definitely going to nominate something for that category, just that I might if something that I have accidentally omitted springs to mind or if I read something new that I feel is really good before nominations end. Also, I'd like to reserve the right to un-nominate things just in case I've already nominated two things and I read one that is better than one or both in that category - is that alright?

Story tier

Best Serial: TBA

Best One-shot: TBA

Best Journey Fic: Son of Earth by Ryuutakeshi

Best Shipping Fic: Kisses by Kayi Rowling

Best Dark Fic: Downfall of a Master by Aladar, Speargun by Battle Droid

Best Future Fic: TBA

(I thought there was an 'other' section as well? As in for ones that are about Pokemon but don't really fall into any of the other categories.)

Best Other Fic: (if applicable) Legend's Day Off by Fusenger Shadow, The Song by Sunny Rose


Character Tier:

Best Main Character: Fin in Beyond Barriers by Wheels

Best Supporting Character: Red Ash in An Unlikely Heroine by Champion Lance

Best Villian: TBA

Best Take On A Canon Character: Red in Spirit Legacy by Zero Hero, Gold in Kisses by Kayi Rowling

Best Original Character: Jessica in Cherish the Moments by The Prophet Jerematic

I nominate Rival's Story by Gastly's Mama for BEST JOURNEY FIC.
 
Oops, my bad. Must've forgotten the Other Fic category. It's legible.

And that Blazaking-avatar dude's nomination has been zapped. BMGf Awards, to you all n00bs out there? BMGf? Ring a bell?

Listen now, guys. Since Jabber is somewhere in those Alaskan wilds of his and probably won't be back till the nominations ar eover, he sent me his ones several weeks before this all start. I've edited nothing on his list, didn't even put links in it- it's all 100% genuine. If you think I've tried rigging the nominations/vote, feel free to ask an admin to interfere and check for the PM Jabber sent me.

Once again, these are Jabberwocky's nominations, not mine.
 
Not sure if it is a Journey fic or a Serial, but I nominate Speargun:The Untold Story of Cyrus, by Battle Droid for whichever bill it fits best.
 
Well, Journey fics are badge/ribbon/medal quests, so I guess it's a serial from what I know about it. Am I right?
 
Ah. Yeah. Then I nominate Speargun by Battle Droid as best Serial.
 
I nominate Rivals story by Gastlys momma for best journey fic.

I'd like to point out that I live in Belgium, and devilrose87 lives in Canada (according to his/her (yes I don't know if it's a guy or a girl) FF.net account). I never even reviewed any of his/her story's (which I really should do some time if I stop being lazy). The reason I chose mostly fics by him/her is because those are the fics that inspired me to start writing my fanfics, nothing more nothing less.

P.S.: I'm not mad or anything, I just thought I'd point that out.
 
Aladar, perhaps we could write down the nominations thus far? I've now seen two people nominate Gastly's Mama and myself. Isn't once enough?
 
Well, I can work on such a list tomorrow, no prob, but since people like your fic, the nominate/vote for yours. Said people haven't even reached the 2 nominations limit, figures they want to nominate your work, not anyone else's.
 
I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that if I'm already nominated for Best Journey, it seems a bit pointless to have another person nominate me for the same thing.
 
Well, nothing wrong with that but then again...

Haven't you people read enough fic to nomiante for more than a couple of categories? I know I said no voting just because and that it's not necessary to vote for all of em but sheesh...
 
I nominate Legacy's The Power Inside for best future fic? I think it belogs there, and Ryuutakeshi's Son of Earth for best journey fic.

Blondie, I recognise all your nominees and I know you're a long time reader, even from before I started writing, but could you just edit your post a bit?
 
If you're talking about Son of Earth, Dante isn't an original character.
