To everyone who has nominated, thank you so much. I can't wait to see who makes it to voting. :D

I hope that gives you an idea as to exactly what I need you to put for each category. If you still have questions, please let me know. I'm here to help! :D
Now, to answer a few questions I've gotten today. I'll post an FAQ sometime soon to help you out as well.

Q: Can I nominate a story for more than one category?
A: Yes, you can. Nominate a story for as many categories as you like! For example, you can nominate a fic for Best Edward, Best UST, Best Completed Fic, etc.

Q: Is femslash allowed?
A: Femslash is more than welcome! Though a lot of the categories are focused on M/M slash, unless it's obviously not a category for the ladies (for example, Best Blowjob -- ahem, us females don't possess the necessary equipment for such acts :P), it's perfectly fine.

Q: When can I nominate a story with over 1000 reviews?
A: Never. This awards site is specifically geared toward fics with under 1000 reviews. Sorry!

Q: Do I have to nominate a story for every category?
A: Not at all. You can leave as many blank as you like. Hell, if you only nominate one story, that's fine by me!

Q: Do I have to nominate a different story in every category, even if a story can fit into more than one category?
A: No. If, for example, you want to nominate "Our House" by NanaMun for Best Emmett and Best UST, then go right ahead. I only ask that you not nominate a story for the same category more than once. So please don't nominate "Our House" for Best Emmett twice, etc.

A few reminders: The Twifestivals is for SLASH ONLY. The only category for het fics is Best Exception. Other than that, no het. Also, take care to pay attention in the Authors categories. If the award has something to do with the author's writing then the author MUST NOT HAVE a story with over 1000 reviews. If not, however, then it doesn't matter. Here, I'll make a list. :)
Must not have a story with over 1000 reviews

• Best New Author
• Best All-Time Author

• Best Angst Writer
• Best Comedy Writer

Doesn't matter

• Best Reviewer
• Best Recc'er
• Best Blogger/Tweeter
• Best Beta
• Best Banner Maker

Okay, that's it for now. I haven't covered everything but I need to sleep, so I'll get back on here sometime soon. Again, thanks to those who've nominated, and to those who've pimped and supported this little site so diligently. Y'all are wonderful!
If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, I'm more than happy to help! Contact me here at thetwifestivals@gmail.com, or you can reach me on Twitter @TheTwifestivals or @buildmeapyramid. I'll get back to you within an hour. :)
