The Papa Bear Awards 2010
Choosing the very best among 2009īs Hoganīs Heroes fanfiction
No Game
Without Rules!
- To participate
in The Papa Bear Awards 2010, a story must have a viable weblink.
- To
participate in The Papa Bear Awards 2010, a story must have been first published in completed form on the internet between January 1st, 2009 and
December 31st, 2009.
- Stories
published anyplace online are eligible, but a lot can be found on fanfiction.net. This means the list of eligible stories as published on this
site is not necessarily complete!
- Each
person can send in 2
nominations for each category. However,
you are not
required to send
in two nominations in each category.
- There is one exception to this rule: the category "best quote".
Here, everyone has the opportunity to send in 3 nominations. However, next to
sending in quotes from other peoples work, an author can also send in quotes
from his or her own work, with a maximum of 3 (so a total of 6).
- One can
nominate a story in more than one category, if such is deemed applicable. There
are two exceptions:
1) The
categories best
comedy and best drama
have a strict distinction regarding the length of the stories;
2) The
category best
general story is meant
for stories that donīt fit in anywhere else: stories that are not particularly
dramatic or humorous or unique, but still very good. Consequently, stories
nominated there cannot be nominated in any other category, save for best overall story.
And please
note: this category is not meant for your third choice in other categories!
- An
author cannot nominate his or her own
work. However, once it has been
nominated by someone else, the author does have the right to vote for his or
her own work in the second part of the election procedure.
-
Nominations have to be in by February 26th,
2010. Following that, the list
of nominations will be published on fanfiction.net
as well as on this site. From that
day on, the voting is open for six weeks. The exact date for the votes to be in
will be announced when the nominees are published.
- Once the
list of nominations is published, each person can give 1 vote in each category,
- As with
the nominations, you are not
required to cast a
vote in every category.
- Before
voting in a certain category, please try and make every effort to read all the
nominated work in that category, so that you are able to make a sound decision!
-
Nominations and votes are solely accepted by email: papabearawards@yahoo.com. They have to be signed with your real name
and if you have one your ffnet pen-name. The honour system applies!
It is
probable however, that the second round (the voting) will be possible in polls
in the yahoogroup "hogansheroes" again. Check the site in the week
following February 26th for further info!
- Winners
will be announced after the votes are tabulated. A Gold, Silver and Bronze
award will be awarded for each category.
- We will
be hand-tabulating the results, so please be a little patient.
We hope
everyone will have a great time reading and deciding, and weīre hoping for a
lot of participation. For there are heaps of great Hoganīs Heroes stories out there!
And remember:
Nominations have to be in by February 26th, 2010!
