Rules for All Nominees
Starting with round seven, all nominations will be screened.
Authors and artists will be contacted before the nomination is placed on the site.
If you nominate something, and it doesn't get added to the site, either the author/artist did not approve the nomination or it didn't pass the screening process. We want only quality work to be nominated.
All rounds will be readers' choice only until further notice. Also, if you feel so inclined, you may nominate my stories.
Rules for Fanart
If a piece of fanart won a first place award in a previous round, it cannot be nominated again in the same category.
You may nominate as much as you'd like, but an artist may not be be nominated more than two times in any category.
Fanart must have Giles as the main focus of the piece.
Please do not hotlink to artwork. A link to a site or journal that uses the layout is fine, but do not link directly to the piece of art without permission.
If you are not the artist, give me the name and email of the artist.
Fanart may not contain explicit content without appropriate warnings.
Please sign the Guestbook. (This is not required, but it would be appreciated.)
Link back to me if you can. (Codes are here.) (Text links are acceptable.)
Rules for Fanfic
If a story won a first place award in a previous round, it cannot be nominated again in the same category.
You may nominate as many stories as you'd like, but an author may only be nominated once in any category.
If you are not the author, give me the name and email of the author.
Stories must include headers with appropriate rating, warnings, and disclaimers.
Stories must not include incest, rape, etc. without appropriate warnings.
For legal reasons, stories must not include graphic underage sex (under 18 years of age) or be about real people (i.e. the actors).
Stories must have Giles as a main character.
Please sign the Guestbook. (This is not required, but it would be appreciated.)
A link back to me is not required for fics, but it would be appreciated. (Text links are acceptable.)
