This concept came about after reading so many amazing Mentalist fanfics. I thought that these authors deserve some sort of recognition and appreciation so I give you, the First Annual Fanfic Jello Awards aka the Jellies.
As this is the inaugural year of Jello Forever, the rules will be slightly flexible and will be modified the next go around.
Nominations will be considered in the following categories:
Best Jello Romance
Best Jello Kiss
Best Jello Banter
Best Jello Confession
Best Jello Fight
Best Jello Make Up
Best Jello Angst
Best Jello Friendship
Best Beginning
Best Ending
Best Funny Moment
Best Fluff Moment
Best Inner Conflict Moment
Best Cliffhanger Moment
Best Tearjerker Moment
Best Comfort Moment
Best Wacky Moment
Best Dramatic Moment
Best Original Case
Best Original Character
Best Original Villain
Best Team Story
Best Oneshot
Best Short
Best Novel
Best Collection
Best Crossover
Fics need to be complete in order to be considered with the only exception in the 'Best Collection' category. Also, individual oneshots in a collection can be nominated for any of the moments, just provide the name of the collection and the name of the chapter in your nomination.
When nominating, please provide the title of the fic, the author, the rating and a link to the story. For specific "moments," you will need to include an excerpt from the fic pertaining to the category (these are explained in more detail in the nomination threads). If you are nominating a work that is not your own, please inform the author.
In the event there are less than five nominees, myself, Tracie and Kai will pick the rest to fill out the category. I would rather not do this so please nominate your favourites.
In order to vote, please register with the admin by sending a PM to the admin with the subject: Voting Registration. In order to be eligible to vote, you need to be a member of the forum and signed up prior to August 8th, 2009. The one exception I will make is that if you're an author that has been nominated.
Read the fics that are nominated and choose the fic that you think deserves the award. I know you'll be tempted to vote for your friend's fic (or your own), but try to keep an open mind and stay objective. Since a few of the categories have quite a few nominees, this will be extremely important. I'm hoping we don't get too many ties because everyone voted for their own fic.
In the event of a tie, I'm bestowing tie breaking duties to my two moderators, Tracie and Kai. They will decide who wins. If they feel that two fics both deserve the award, I have no problem having co-winners, but no more than two. If there is still a tie, I will break the tie as fairly as I can.
Now, the best part, prizes!!! Winners will get special banners and badges to use on FF.net, forums, websites, etc. They will be one of a kind and made with love from me and that in of itself makes these prizes priceless
Advertise the Jellies everywhere you go! Tell everyone you know that loves the show about the awards. Get them to sign up on this forum, nominate and vote! If we could get at least five nominees in each category I would be one happy board mommy ;D
That's it for now. Good luck to all the nominees!
