So if you haven't already, please vote, via private e-mail please, at
fcasper@yesic.com for the fanfics or authors you feel fit these
catagories.  

At the request of some of the voters, I've also added five new
catagories for these awards.  Presenters wishing to volunteer for these
new catagories are also welcome. (Though I would like Award #4 to be
presented by Tybalt if he's interested....)  ;)  


1. "Best Original Fanfic"  (Given to the author that creates a great
story without having to use any elements of a popular anime series.)   

2. "Best Non-Ranma 1/2 Fanfic of the Year"  (Can be any anime fic posted
in 1997, as long as it isn't Ranma 1/2.)

3. "Best Lemon"  (Not to be confused with Best Lemon Series or Best
Lemon Scene, this award goes to the best *stand-alone* lemon of them
all.  It can't be a series or part of a series.)

4. "The Tybalt"  (Given to the author that had begun and mantained the
longest thread of conversation and/or debate on the FFML for 1997 that
finally prompted Tybalt to threaten their life if they didn't desist.
;)  
5. "Best One-Hour Challenge Entry"  (Given to the author that came up
with the most creative idea/story, regardless of puncuation, in a one
hour writing period.  Can apply to any of the challenges.)

Looking forward to your replies.  :)

Sincerely,

Megane 6.7
