Lost Fic Awards Categories poll

[halfdutch.livejournal.com]

HI guys, I figured this was a good time to check in and see if the current fic categories are working for everyone before we start on the next round of nominations. If there's an option I haven't covered, please feel free to leave your ideas in comments.

The illustrious former mod, hkath, ended up streamlining and combining a lot of these categories for a reason: People just weren't nominating enough fics in each of the categories like "Best Kiss" to make them viable each month, but if you would like to see them come back, possibly every few months, that could happen.

And if you are perfectly pleased with the status quo, please speak up!

It's interesting, but sometimes crossovers end up getting nommed in regular categories, like NC-17 het. Which works out pretty well since there don't seem to be that many NC-17 het fics to choose from each round. There aren't really that many Lost crossovers each month either, really. It kind of goes in waves. Maybe we should combine those two categories! j/k But I know what you mean about them being considered on their own. It could be the kind of thing that if there aren't enough nominations, it could roll over until the next month although that would be a pain to keep track of.

I was thinking Mod's Choice (such as "Best Fic Featuring an Other" or something) would be different from the "Best Kiss," etc. ones. When there was a kissing prompt one day at Lost Riffs, then it was really easy to nominate for that subcategory - but hard to vote! I don't think it would work every month to have all of those but I thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone is desperately missing some of those.
