Ok, we have our nominees! Writers will be notified of where to vote. Voting will be open Tuesdy the 9th - Tuesday the 16th at noon eastern.

Even though Chapter numbers appear next to titles, we tallied the vote by Author/Story or just Author (The Bomb).

Login names will be logged. Multiple votes will be discarded.

There are only 4 entries for the short story award. I had to make an "executive decision" based on the number of votes the next round of nominees received. It wasn't close to these, and there were many with the same number, so I had to decide to cut it at 4.

THE SUMMER 2007 FAN FIC AWARD NOMINEES ARE:

"BEST 'NON-TRADITIONAL (NON-CANON)' PAIRING OR STORYLINE"
The story that is a total departure from the normal L Word Universe. Anything from a non-traditional pairing, or a traditional pairing in a non-traditional setting.

brteyes - Masked Feelings CH 76 Trouble in the Air

"THE BOMB" - BEST AUTHOR AWARD
The best overall author on the site during the three-month eligibility period. This is the author that can't write enough fan fiction to satisfy our fan fiction addiction.

However, new authors who have made their presence known should also be considered for this Award.

Seahurst has asked to be removed from the TB Saver Short Story category. Her story, while only 2 chapters, is *not complete*, as it should be to be considered.

Thanks, Seahurst, for catching that. I know how important this award is to you to honor Tracey's memory.
