Summer Awards 2011 Voting Thread Hello Workshop!
As you may or may not have seen, the nominations for the Summer Awards are now CLOSED.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with how the awards work, we now ask the users of the Workshop to vote on which fics they think deserve the titles. You don't have to be a writer to vote, you don't even have to be a Workshop regular but you do have to be registered on the forum from before July 1. Please be sure to vote fairly and read enough of each fic to make an educated decision!
Everyone gets one vote per category except in the Story Tier, which will be decided by a panel of judges. Voting will close on July 31, when the awards end.
@Cabaret ; has been kind enough to volunteer to do interviews with all willing and available nominees and these will be shown in a separate thread as they are conducted over the coming weeks. They may be very helpful with raising your awareness of fics that you haven't read yet so be sure to have a look! [Link will be provided once the thread is up.]
Now, without further ado, the list of nominees!
