Rules
Well, like everything else in the world, there must be rules. These are pretty simple, so just read through here, then you can go and nominate your wonderful stories!
1)To make things fair, you can only nominate up to two stories.
2)You can only nominate the story in no more than three categories.
3)You must have the banner up on your website (preferably the story being judged) in order for the judge to even begin reading your story.
4)To make things easier, fill out all the items necessary in the application form.
5)No harassing myself or the other judges, these things take time, so therefore please be patient.
6)Each story submitted, unless its a short story, must contain more that 5 chapters. (this mainly refers to those that are entering the novel categroy, all others, disregard this please.)
7)Please only nominate your story in the correct category(ies). This will make my life easier and cause less confusion.
8) Good luck, and on you application form put bubbles in the code word section, so that way I know you've read this!
Please note that I have the right to refuse any nomination I deem unfit for my awards. If you have a problem with that don't bother sending e-mails harassing me. I warned you here, and those hate e-mails will fall on deaf ears and will only result in you never participating in the future Independent Awards.
