[Jabberwocky]

@Kellyn, you cannot nominate Milo for Best Main Character, as he is a character in a WW mod's fanfic.

[Shadow the Hedgehog]

O... Ok... I will change that!

[Lance]

I have a question, I'm not sure if this the right place to ask but...

I get what a none-pokemon fic is but what's a crossover?

[Cabaret]

My nomminations, I didn't read as many fics this season.

Best Long Story: A Wish on Freedom- AceTrainer14

Best Short Story: Average by IanDonyer

Best Mod Fic: Song of the Staraptor- LightningTopaz

Best Journey Fic: BW Journey through Unova- Sky Flame Haze

Best Pokemon Character: Riolu from The Barefoot Fighting Genius! by Kyuujux

Best Newcomer: LibraSnakes13

[Jabberwocky]

A crossover is taking two intellectual properties and combining them or having them interact with one another.

[Lance]

Yeah I know what the word means I meant as a fic, an example would help...

[Jabberwocky]

Well, I have a fic called "The Worlds of Monsters" which crosses over Doctor Who and Pokemon. Sarcastically Insane has a fic called "Silver Seas" which crosses over Pokemon and One Piece.

You can't nominate Song of the Staraptor for Best Short Story since LT is a mod here. You can, however, nominate Song of the Staraptor for Best Mod Fic. Would you perhaps like to do that instead?
