He everybody… It's now time to start the Voting Phase for the 11th Annual Fannies Awards!

Things to know:

1) The Deadline for voting will be Friday July 22nd

2) As we get closer to the 22nd, if the committee feels that a little more time might bring in more votes to help get some definite results, we'll consider extending the voting time, but don't assume it'll get extended, so please get your votes in by July 22nd.

3) Voting will be the same as last year, where it's Straight-forward. You vote who you think is the best, and we will count the votes.

Other Information… If we have any categories where there's a tie for the win, we'll use a runoff vote on those categories as a sort of round 2 before announcing all results, but we won't have that if there's a clear winner in each category. More details on that if it happens. If a category ended up with just one Nomination, the Author Nominated automatically wins that category.

Please either e-mail kimmunityfannies (AT) yahoo (DOT) com or PM the account this message is coming from with your vote. List out all the categories and tell us who you're voting for in each. You can do it in pieces if you send some of your votes now and the rest later but get them all in by the 3rd, and don't be changing your vote for a category after you send it, Please and Thank-you.

Nothing requires you to vote in all categories. If you just give us votes in some categories, that's fine. Just make sure the votes you send are sent before the Deadline. If there are any questions please post them in this thread and they'll get answered. (Don't e-mail them, because this way, the questions and answers are seen by others who might have the same question).

Please remember NOT to put your votes in this Thread!

So let's start voting, and we will soon have our newest winners! KP Fannie Committee

Hybrid by Eddy13 (Winner by Default)

Kimberly and the Pixie Dust Plot by Robert Teague

Darn it. I was hoping I had already won in the Best AU category. Of course, since my story is the only one in Best Friendship Story, should that one be considered winner by default? Also, I thought I didn't qualify for Best Songfic because the Admins removed it from the site? Also, there was a mistake. The one who wrote 'Why So Serious Kimmie' is The Samurai Prince. I think whoever nominated the story might've gotten the names mixed up.

Thanks so much ShadowDancer01 for catching that. It has been corrected...

And Eddy13, that was my fault and I apologize profusely. Since it is there now, we'll leave it since it was a committee members (mine) fault. And Thanks to you as well for the Samurai catch!

I hope there aren't any other mistakes I made. If so, let either me or the Committee know and it will be corrected. Thanks for understanding! (And here I thought I was awake while doing this)

Why should you need to apologize? I mean, was my songfic added by mistake or were you mistaken in saying that it wasn't eligible since it's not on FF anymore? Either way, hey, I'm up for Best Songfic, so I'm not complaining. Of course, for those who want to vote for it, they'll have to go to DA.

It was added to the Fannies by mistake. Again, sorry 'bout that...

Like I said, it doesn't bother me since I'm up for another category. I'll just need to mention over at my profile where to look for the story.

Ok, so ... I think this is my fault.

17) Best One-Shot Overall: [...] Warmth of a Banana by Imyoshi

I didn't notice until after I nominated that story that Imyoshi won the category last year.

I have posted the corrected version of the ballot in every KP group I can think of as well as a few Facebook pages.

Sent mine in today.

Just a friendly reminder to get out there and VOTE VOTE VOTE!!

We would like to see more individuals voting if at all... Possible!

You have until July 22nd, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vote for your favorite Stories and or Authors!

The more voters, the better!

Oh, I hope this isn't a sign that the Fannies (as well as KP stories) are losing popularity. It would stink for this to happen when I'm finally going to be involved in the award ceremony!

not sure if this is the place to ask but why is there no rongo section? maybe that can be added next time? cos if we can make room for kim/ron alongside kigo, why not ron/shego? i did find several of those and some are really good

That would fit under Best Alternate Pairing.

So in theory it works like this:

• Best Canon Paring
• Best Non-Canonical Pairing

However, the most popular examples are so popular that they don't give breathing room to the rest. If you don't separate out Kigo then a humble Ron/Tara fic will get lost in the shuffle even if it really deserved consideration.

So then you'd have:

• Best Kim/Ron
• Best canon pairing other than Kim/Ron
• Best Kigo
• Best alternate pairing other than Kigo

BUT (all-caps, beginning of a paragraph; I must be emphasizing my emphasis or something) the other canon pairings are almost never tapped. You don't see a lot of Ron/Zita or Kim/Josh, you don't see a lot of Felix/Zita, you don't see much Tara/Nameless boy from Steal Wheels. There are about twenty four canon pairings total and other than Kim/Ron it's rare to see any of them other than Kim/Ron and Mom/Dad, and for the Mom/Dad ones you usually don't see stories focused on that. That's not to say that you can't find, say, Tara/Josh or Shego/Barkin fics, but there are so few of them that the category is kind of meaningless.

Thus it gets dropped and we end up with the three actual categories:

• Best Alternate Pairing
• Best KiGo Story
• Best Kim/Ron Story

The only way Rongo would be added as a category there were so many Ron/Shego stories that they started to crowd out the other "Alternate Pairing" stories. I don't think we're overflowing with Rongo at the moment, so it's not going to happen just now.

- - -

A change that I, personally, would like to see is non-Kim/Ron canon pairing stories becoming numerous enough to justify giving them a category.

ok thanks for explaining :)

The deadline for the votes as come. When will the ceremony begin?

The voting phase ENDS on the 22nd, which means it won't be finished until the day of the 22nd is over.

In other words, a person can still vote until midnight of the 22nd. There's still time to vote!

Baring any unseen circumstances, we should be starting the ceremony next week. (hopefully) Keep in mind, votes still need to be counted, and if some categories need any ties broken, we'll have tie-breaker votes. If there are still ties after that, then those categories will end in ties.

How long will it take to tally the votes? I'm looking forward to seeing who wins this year.

I'm working on gathering all votes together tonight, and hopefully the first chapter (or more) should be posted no later than next Friday night. At least that's the plan, and hopefully it works out that way...
