You know, I agree! Don't mean to be a realist. But if the same ol
stories that had been nominated for each year, four years in a row, and
it hadn't won anything yet... I think it's time it should be retired.
I get tired of seeing there time after time (especially if it wasn't my
nominated fav)
However.. it would be hell to the rest of us, trying to sort out whcih
fics are the newest ones, fromt eh oldests ones.
Unleeeess... the FanFic Archiver (gulp) plays a hand in these awards.
Cause I could keep a running list of all the fics compiled in a year,
so that when the next awards come around, we just pick from that list
for nominations. Yeah.. I like the sound of that simplicity, Mandy.

hrmm.. interesting ideas. If we do make a best incomplete fic
category, and otherwise just vote for the complete ones in all other
areas, that could help things along too.
