Although we each have favourites in all categories, I'm not sure we've ever had quite such an open discussion as this thread suggests because of how discouraging these types of exclusive lists get for those who don't get mentioned.
What has happened in the past is that K-Com puts up a list of all the eligible stories as well as new authors. That way no one is left out.
As well, the Q quizzes for each of the categories provide good overviews of what stories are out there. These quizzes are not completely inclusive, but given the custom of wrting to the quizzmaster with additional suggestions, they wind up being useful guides.
Also, there are stil nearly two months left before the eligibility period ends - who knows what yet may be posted?
However, what the K com might find helpful is a discussion of the categories themselves - suggestions for deletions, additions, revised descriptors. (although the K Com hasn't indicated if it is interested in having that discussion - it is perhaps a little early
)
But please, lets not get into lobbying for our personal favourites.
That can leave those not mentioned feeling ... well ... a tad like chopped liver.
