Rules....

This is not a critiquing exercise in any way shape or form. This is just a reader’s choice style award. Noting more, nothing less.

To make things fair all stories being considered must be completed prior to their nomination. Stories nominated in one of the categories the previous year cannot be nominated for the same category this year. Nominations in other categories are just fine. This because we want as many fanfictions as possible to have a fair chance. .

Categories such as "Drama", "Comedy" "Endearment" and "Tear-jerker" are open for all fic, be it alternative, cross-overs or non-canon. It is the sense of "Drama" or "Endearment" and so on that is the important feature

Nominations will be considered in the categories listed and will be taken until midnight on January15th, 2003.

Nominations will only be taken by email to AYRF. An EZ nominating form is inserted see the link below! Bookmark it and recall it when you see a story/scene/pic to nominate. It's swift, easy and costs you nothing! And you will give the author/creator some recognition. It's time we TYRant give each other some recognition.

The voting will run from 16 January 2003 to 14 February 2003.

Only one vote per person will be accepted.

Winners and spotters will be announced on February 20, 2003.

One final rule and perhaps the most important, don’t forget to have FUN!!! We need everybody's participation. And this is crucial. We cannot funtion without y'all.
