Hello all,

It has been a slow awards this time around. At the last minute we got some extra fics in that have helped up the numbers: few newcomers this time, but we have a healthy selection of stories that I hope will gwet some well deserved votes!

Due to the lack of nominations and the cancellation of two categories, I am forgoing the three-vote rule for heavy story categories. For this time, every story and character needs simply two votes to be eligible for the Judging Round. A story will be bolded when it has been confirmed to move on.

The nominees are:

Best Journey:
Unpredictable by @AetherX
The Long Walk by @Beth Pavell
How to Conquer Kanto in Eight Easy Steps by @AceTrainer14


Best Dark:
Legendary Genesis by @Ahnyo
some rise by sin by @kintsugi
Survival Project by @diamondpearl876

Pokémon XCD by @Bloodstained

Best Expansion:
Ritchie: the Boy Who Won by @GioRocket
Stainless Steel by @Lugion


Non-Pokemon Fic:
Psychic Duelist Django - Season 3: Hidden Forces by @CynthiaLover
Union City Angels by @Kimberly Prescott


Best Alternate:
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Destruction by @0bs1d1an_kn1ght
Storm Island by @Kimberly Prescott
A Sine of Things to Come by @chaos_Leader
Communication by @Sike Saner


Best Protagonist:
Alaska Acevedo from How to Conquer Kanto in Eight Easy Steps
Django Spirit from Psychic Duelist Django - Season 3: Hidden Forces
Keith Anders from Unpredictable
Evelina Joy from The Long Walk
Joshua Cook from The Long Walk
Andrea Prescott from Storm Island

Peter Sine from A Sine of Things to Come

Best Supporting Character:
Tim Skeevich from Unpredictable
Sandy Samson from How to Conquer Kanto in Eight Easy Steps +1
Tempest Force from Psychic Duelist Django - Season 3: Hidden Forces
Cody Lionheart from Psychic Duelist Django - Season 3: Hidden Forces
Wallace from Stainless Steel
Kimberly Fairbrook from Storm Island +1


Best Pokémon:
Oth from Communication
Darwin from How to Conquer Kanto in Eight Easy Steps

Rainer from Unpredictable
Jolteon from A Sine of Things to Come
If you wish to change your votes after your original post, please mention me in a NEW post and in your original in some way make a note of what your new or altered votes are.

As always, you cannot vote for yourself and please do not ask others to vote for you - if someone does ask you to vote for them, than alert me or another moderator. You can promote the fact that your work is nominated within your story threads so your readers are aware and can help you out, but no direct asking and no whining if you aren't getting votes - it ruins the fun for everyone else and does not paint you in the best picture. Just enjoy the ride and see what happens :)

Also with this round, it is the time when we nominate the users who can win awards in our three User Voted Categories! You may nominate two users per category (so six in total) and all names will be listed here, but please be aware you are NOT VOTING yet – if a name appears here that means they have already nominated, so you nominating them as well does not do anything. Save your support for a week’s time when you do need to vote on them, but for now we are SIMPLY NOMINATING:
Best Newcomer: @Bloodstained, @Juliko
Best Contributor: @PiccoloX
Best Reviewer: @diamondpearl876

The users you nominate should have posted their first story/reviewed a piece of your work/posted something intelligent in the Written Word sometime since June 21st. Explanations of these categories may be found in the Hall of Fame. As with the last round, I will give people who have won previously in Reviewer and Contributor the opportunity to remove themselves from the competition if they so choose to. Their names will appear below.
Best Contributor: AceTrainer14

You have exactly a week's time (so the 12:30PM 22nd December NZT) to cast your votes and update your stories to be eligible for judging. Happy Voting!

Too late to nominate now, but you can have an internet high five for writing apparently the only villain in the Workshop I guess?

Well, let's see, I had the psycho Elesa fan, the Rabid Mightyenas, and... hell, to an extent, Flannery. So that's two and a half.
 
Good job @AetherX for doing some nominating for the User Voted categories - don't forget about those three guys!

We did have one submission for Best Antagonist, but I could not find anyone else to nominate alongside. A lesson for the future: nominate when you have the chance. Even if you think you are certain to fail, just do it anyway. You never know what may happen.
 
Can betas be considered reviewers for the purposes of nomination? If so, I also nominate @AetherX

Reviews would need to be publicly accessible in order to be considered fairly, otherwise anyone could be voted for with nothing to base it on. If he has reviewed your story publicly he can be nominated.

You have about two days left to vote folks, as well as two days to update your stories before judging begins!
 
You have twelve and a half hours left to finish voting and to update your stories (new chapters and old chapter edits) before the voting round ends. Please nominate people for the User Voted categories if you have not done so already.
 
Best Contributor: Melissa et al
Best Reviewer: Beth Pavell


My other votes would be for those that have already been confirmed for final judging. Should I still cast nominating votes anyway?

You are welcome to do that. It would then give other voters the option to change one of their votes and help move another story/character along. However, there are plenty of characters left you can vote for: even of they are not your top pick you but you like them enough you can still vote for them.
