Welcome again, ladies and gents! Now that we have all the nominations sorted out, it's time to kick into overdrive! The rules for voting are very similar to the ones for nominating. You are not allowed to vote for your own fanfics/characters. This time you get only one vote for each category. Sockpuppeting and VMing/PMing other members to vote for you is once again strictly forbidden and infraction-worthy. The only advertising you are allowed to do is posting that your fanfics/characters has been nominated for the awards in the respective threads of your fics and asking your readers to vote if they like your stuff. And you can do that only once, only in the respective threads.
The other major part of voting is that not only do you have only one vote per category this time, you have to vote for every category. But since there's a rule against voting just because or because you are friends with the author, you will have to actually read a little from each fic. After all, they are Bulbagarden's best according to you, if you like reading fics, reading some good ones won't be bad, right? You don't have to read them all- just a few chaps to get a taste of they are like. You may even miss a chap or two while reading and check out the latest ones to see how has the writer improved. If you say "there's no time", or you like a fic so much that you want to read it all, not just skim it, well, you do know for which one to vote then.
And don't worry about time- the voting will be from today, 18th June, to 2th July.Two weeks are certainly enough to get aquainted with the nominated pieces.
Once the voting ends, the third and final stage will begin. The winners from each category will be voted for Best Story and Best Character respectively.
Also, take a sneak peak for what each of winners of the respective categories will be awarded:

I hope you enjoy reading these great pieces of fanfiction and may the best ones win!
