Hey guys, I was informed on a miskate on my behalf today. It seems that while posting the finalists, I forgot to add one to the Best Combo story category. Which is quite unsual because of it's exremely long name. Any way, I'd just like to instate "You Won't Be Alone When Everyone Else is Gone" by Seara in it's rightful position as a finalits. For for those who can't find the finalists, they are on the nominees page, if you scroll all the way down you'll find them.

I'm so sorry guys. I know I'm way late, but the finalists have now been posted. I'd just like to say, that my orgininal idea for picking the finalists went right out the window when I started counting votes. So these are the new rules, if the story has a vote, it's a finalist. Also, as for that person that I was thinking of disqualifing, I decided to just take away the votes they put in themselves and when I did there were no votes left, so that saved me some time and that person alot of embarassment. So You guys can go see who the finalists are and keep on voting. Winners will be presented on March 16th, 2002.

Hey guys, cycle 2 is almost over. I've gotten many votes from you guys and you're doing a great job. But I have a serious issue to discuss with you all. After I specifically asked for the nominees not to vote for themeleves, someone went on a different email address and voted for themseleves. I've already put in their votes, but I am seriously thinking of disqualifing this person because they did not respect my wishes. Please email be been now and tomorrow before I post the voting results and tell me what you think. If I do decide to take this person out of the awards, all their stories will be disqualified. Also, I'd like to notify you of a mistake of my own, I hadn't realized that in the Best Romance Comedy category, I put I Wanna Be Bad By Karah twice. So which ever stories in that category that have votes will remain in the running.

Hey guys, I finally got around to talling all the votes I got so far. Man, you guys really know how to vote. Maybe if adults voted like you guys we'd have a good president, LOL just playin. Okay now, I've decided to keep my current method of collecting votes. It's easy for me to keep records that I don't have to be online to get. And when I've been online for like ten hours it makes me look like I'm doing homework so my mother won't bug me. Lastly, it's kinda fun, lol. So those who where waiting for the polls to vote can go again and send your vote in an email. Second order of business, I've noticed that alot of the nominees are voting for themselves. I'm gonna ask you all not to do that. It's not fair to the other nominees and you're just screwing yourself in the long run because if you win it wouldn't be because of your talent. And remember I have your email addresses so I will be checkin. But feel free to vote for others in the awards. Next, I'd like talk to the voters. It would be easier for me if you send in your votes in the order that they are in the nominees page. Because that's how the categories are in my files. Also, I'm adding my vote to each category. And I'll add my vote again when the voting is over. I'm gonna start designing the awards now. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to email be and tell me about it. Lastly I figured I'd tell you that the story with the most votes at the moment is in the best Nick Story category and at the moment has 21 votes. Keep up yhe good work :)

Voting is going very well, you guys are awesome. A few of you sent me sites with free multiple polls. When I see which one is the easiest to work with, I'll put them up. They'll be up by Sunday/Monday at the most. Also I'd just like to inform the nominees, that some of the urls were not working, so I took them down. If you have changed your url please let me know so I can put your nominee back up.
January 15th, 2002
Voting starts today. You can just email me with your choices. If you know of any sites that give more than one poll for free. Please let me know.
