It's that time again. :)
After tabulating all the votes received for each category and confirming their
eligibility and authenticity, we can now open the voting period for the final
nominees. Yay! :)
The rules for the final round of voting are as follows:
- Pick only one of the choices in each category. Only one set of votes is
allowed per person. Evidence of multiple votes will result in the discarding of
all of your votes, and you may be barred from voting in future Chicken Balls.
- You can send us your votes in one of two ways. You can either visit our
Chicken Ball Website at http://www.rakhal.com/cb/cbvote.html and
use our Chicken Balls Voting Form OR you can E-mail your final nominations to
cb@rakhal.com E-mail votes can only vote for the eligible fics listed. Likewise
with the eligible fics listed on the webpage.
- You need not vote in every category; select whichever ones interest you.
- Also, you may notice that a couple of the categories that were on the initial
ballot are not on this one. These missing categories will be explained further
during the actual CB awards. ;)
Here now, is the list of the final nominees for each category....
