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 people’s 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!
