Read me! (Amanda will be sad if you do not.)

I've included all stories that were nominated unless I could not find them in the PDS archive because they were nominated by the incorrect name or because they were removed. The title of each fic is a hyperlink that will open a new window with that fic in it. I've done this so you can refresh your memory if need be. The summary for each fic is below the title and author for a quick refresh in case the title doesn't jog your memory.

The form is set up to receive only one submission per IP address. So, once you have voted don't bother voting a second time. Your second submission will go through, but will be ignored in the final tally. This is to prevent the stacking of votes for one or more fics.

Vote for three (3) fics in each category. If you'd like, you can vote for less, but do not vote for more. If you submit four (4) fics for any category the last fic you chose will be ignored and will not be counted.
