RACCIES: 2017-2018 First Nomination Ballot

[Drew Perron]

===================== RACCies! =====================

Nominations for the 2017-2018 RACCies are open!

Nominate as many stories, authors, characters or silly jokes as you wish, within 
the definition of the award in question. The objective is to overlook no quality 
stories.

The only restrictions are, first, that you may not nominate yourself or any 
stories you worked on (excepting crossovers, under the assumption that you are 
recognizing the contributions of others); and second, that you may not nominate 
an author, series, or other contribution that won the same award last year. 
(Don't worry; if you forget, the awards maintainer will take care of it.)

In addition to the categories listed below, participants are encouraged to 
create 'special' (read 'comedic') awards to include in the balloting. Include a 
winner with your award! We'll exert editorial fiat over these nominations, 
keeping those nominated in the spirit of humor and dismissing those nominated in 
the spirit of being a jerk.

Nominations are RACC-wide; all posted imprints, stories and authors are 
eligible, as long as the stories in question were posted from January 1st, 2017 
through to December 31st, 2018. It's highly recommended that each author post a 
list of which of their works are eligible this year; you might just jog 
someone's memory into voting for you!

This year, all nominations should be sent to pwerdna at gmail.com! The nomination 
period ends APRIL 30th, 2019.
