The fanfic awards

Is it me, or is this thing reseting itself when the total number of people surpasses 60? Is it the curator dude or another one or is the system kinda screwed?

I'm working on a bug fix as we (or at least I) speak... er-type. The problem arises when people vote in one category, but not another... it's a really annoying bug.

Oh, that. <SLAPS FOREHEAD> I had to reset it because the official voting didn't begin until yesterday. All of the votes you had seen were, basically, test runs by those testing it out (the curators of the awards). However, there is still a bug to be fixed. And I won't reset it any more. Programmer's honor.

How come I wasn't nominated for anything for "cartman goes on a diet"? I know it wasn't great, but I thought I might get "best first story" or "best new writer" nomination or something....

It might have been that you wrote it too late. The final date for nominations was the middle of November.

I just did a dejanews search. It was posted the 14th of november. Doesn't that count as the "middle"?

Look, we spend ages on these awards and it doesn't help when people like you, with all your good intentions slag us off. We have tried to put across the best fanfics and I'm sorry that it didn't get in. But can you imagine what it would be like if everyone moaned like this? If you aren't happy then don't vote.

Also, I would just like to remind everyone of the rule that you can't vote for yourself. Breaking the rules just ruins the awards for everyone. Okay?

I wasn't nominated either, but i'm not mad about it or anything.
Sometimes life is unfair and you have two option on what to do;  1) you
can moan about it(i'm not saying you're moaning about it, Jeff).  2)
You can move on.
	I'm moving on.  I'm may have not been nominated this year, but there's
always next time (I hope).  I'll just have to improve my fics, that's
all.  If I have to up against talent like Kyle, Alyssa and the rest,
I'll need to be at the top of my game.
	I know some of my fics weren't the best, the lack of replies told me
that, and all I can say is -- No baseball player bats a thousand.

I wasn't moaning. I was just curious about what the requirements were to be nominated.

I was wondering why there were 43 votes for Mecha DiCrappio :)
