*Clears throat*
I have the great pleasure of informing you all...
Okay - *Drops the formalities*- It's about time we let you know. Season four, Version - Switchblades and Socs is due to start on July 15th, this coming Sunday. The site most of you have bookmarked is in fact NOT the site we will be using, but a much better, non-confusing, easy to navigate, not-butchered, swasome (yes - swasome - if I do say so myself) looking site that I will put up a link for when the time comes
The season will run for one month - the nominating period being July 15 - 31, and voting Aug. 1 - 15. I suggest you all get cracking on what stories you'd like to see highlighted during this season.

Alrighty, I figure it's time to show you all the site. It's been ready for a while now, but please let me know if you find any glaring mistakes.

Do keep in mind, however, that we won't be taking nominations until tomorrow (July 15th). I guess if you live in the southern hemisphere, and July 15th comes much earlier for you... well... then you can nominate once it's July 15th for you
Let us know what you think!

Awesome! I'm already starting my list! Just one question....and maybe it's a stupid one but I don't want to screw it up....I know we're not sending nominations thru the contact comment thingy so are we just emailing them to your email then?? I'm a moron, sorry!

Hey there,
Just popped by the site. Yes, you are e-mailing all nominations. Completely ignore the comments box. The e-mail address is small and inconspicuous, so I'll put it here again.
Nominations can be sent to wsotta@gmail.com .
So yeah, if you have any further questions they can be posted here or sent or us there or if you want it answered immediately (around work, that is) I can be reached at lupin_ll1860@hotmail.com.
Sorry, no best Tims. There is enough out there to warrant his own category, but someone decided he and his siblings could join the rest of the Minors so we weren't hosting 100 different award categories. I could ask the same about the Curtis Brothers, since the sisters get their own category....
Anyways, hope that clears things up.
See ya in the funny papers!!! Tens

Thanks! All cleared up. I think with the Shepard thing when I read 'Shepard siblings' I assumed (and I know what happens when I assume! lol) it meant like Tim's siblings. Not INCLUDING Tim. Duh! This is what hours in the sun after a night of heavy drinking does to you! lol Thanks again. I have a ton of nominations written down already. Just gotta get them organized!

We'll have to keep that in mind for next season. Basically all the categories that are up are based on what has been popular/most used in the past. Very few people, unfortunately, ever get nominated in the Best Minor category - which was only created after many separate categories (i.e. Best Tim, Best Cherry, Best Curly) struggled to stay alive. The categories change from season to season, so we'll see how it works this year I do appreciate your insight though - it's other people's comments and whatnot that help the site to grow and develop as needed.
EDIT: And as Tens pointed out, there are many many categories and we're just trying to consolidate what we can. This is a good point to remember for next season though

I have a question ...
(And sorry if this has been asked or answered somewhere before; I don't want to sound like an idiot, lol.)
When you send in nominations, do you send in one form per story or can you send as many as you are nominating in one e-mail? I didn't see that mentioned on the site, so I was kind of concerned. :)

Keira usually says 1 per e-mail, but I think as long as you separate your nominations you can stick as many as you please in an e-mail. Just point fingers at me if she says no. I think it saves room and makes it easier to sort, but I'm strange.
See ya in the funny papers!!!

More than one an email is just fine - but like Tens said, as long as they're kept very separate. Otherwise it gets confusing and the wrong stories get placed where they shouldn't go.

Gmail pretty much consolidated them, so no problem Just got finished listing all of your nominations - if I somehow managed to miss one, let me know, lol. I think I got them all though. Thanks again!

I replied to your email but I'll say it here, too. I thought it would have been a pain to send out all those nominations but it really was easy. Copy/paste the form and you're all set! Good luck to everyone!!!

I'm glad you thought so! My head is spinning just a little with how fast I've been putting up nominations tonight, haha. I'm rather pleased that you are all so enthusiastic about this season!
On a side note, I would like to ask everyone to check out the site - if not just for fun, but for the mere fact that not everyone has a listed email address and therefore it is more difficult to inform everyone who has been nominated. If you happen to know someone who's been nominated, who you know for a fact does not have a listed email for me to email them at, please either send me their email or feel free to let them know they've been nominated.
