  Stargate Fan Awards 2005
2005-06-24 . chapter 1 CONGRATULATIONS!
This e-mail is to let you know that one or more of your works has been
nominated in the Stargate Fan Fiction Awards 2005.
Before we can proceed, we really need your help.
Please visit: http:// draft_noms/ (please remove the spaces)
...where you will find more information and a list of your nominations.
Please read the rules page at the URL above very carefully even if you
have participated in the Awards before - it's important and many of the
guidelines are different this year.
1) Do you wish to accept the nominations and participate in the awards?
We really would like everyone to take part but if you DO NOT wish to be
included in the Awards, just let our webmaster know at deleteme [at]
and she will remove any/all nominated works.
(Please note that if you want your nominations removed from the Awards,
if any of your stories have a co-author listed we need to hear from both
of you.)
2) If you wish to participate, but something needs to be changed, please
contact the team using the contact form provided at the above URL and
we'll work with you to make any changes. For example:
Is everything spelled correctly?
Is the title of your story correct?
Is the nomination in an appropriate category?
Is the URL correct, and is it on a publicly accessible site?
(Please note that we *will* change or move stories if you feel there is
a more appropriate category or sub-category for your work but we will
*not* change URLs if the one listed is working. There are over a
thousand stories nominated and we simply don't have time to correct
things that are not wrong.)
3) If you have multiple nominations we do have a few rules:
A) Stories (and other fan works) can be in only one division, and only
one rating. They can only be SG-1 OR SG: Atlantis, and can be
Family-Rated OR Adult-Rated. If any of your nominations have been placed
in more than one division or have been placed in the wrong one, please
tell us where you want it placed. We do realise that some stories are
difficult to categorise, but for the Awards to work, we have to do it
this way.
B) Stories can be in only one sub-category. Sub-categories are organised
by character, team, friendship or relationship pairings. A story cannot,
for example be listed as "Character: Sam" in one category and
"Relationship: Sam/Jack" in anther.
(An exception is made for the "Other" categories eg: A story *can* be in
both "Relationship: Sam/Jack" and "Relationship: M/F" if there is no
Sam/Jack sub-category available in the second main category.)
C) A story cannot be in conflicting categories. It cannot, by
definition, be both Vignette and Novel at the same time. A list of
potentially conflicting categories is given on the site. Again, if you
need any help deciding what works best for your story, contact us and
we'll work with you on this.
D) Each author is allowed only one entry per category/sub-category. If
you have more than one story in Best Humor/Friendship: Jack/Daniel for
example, please tell us which story you wish to keep and which to move
or discard. (Co-authored stories are treated as if written by a separate
person so Joe can write a fic, Ann can write a fic and Joe and Ann can
write a fic together and all three can stay in the same
category/sub-category.) Stories can be moved to another appropriate
category if there is one available.
E) And a final rule: no more than 15 nominations for any one person in
any one division can go forward . For this purpose the divisions are:
SG-1 Fiction (all ratings combined), SGA Fiction (all ratings combined),
SG-1 Additional and SGA Additional. If you have received, for example 10
nominations in SG-1 Family-rated and 7 in SG-1 Adult-Rated, please
contact us and let us know which two to delete.
If you have any questions please contact us using the contact form here:
and we will work with you to answer them as quickly as possible. Please
do use the special contact form rather than the main team email address:
this has been set up to help us deal with mail as efficiently as
possible.
We hope to publish the nominations by 10 July so the latest we can
accept changes from you is 6 July. We cannot guarantee to act on any
changes sent to us after that date, though we will extend that deadline
if we are still in discussion with you. We are going to be dealing with
a lot of emails over the next two weeks, so if we don't reply to you
immediately, please be patient.
Congratulations again!
