I'd like to remind everyone, but especially the new members of the boards, that nominating a story does not communicate that you dislike other stories or authors. It just means that you think the story you've nominated deserves recognition. No one will believe that you're dissing another work or another writer.

So nominate away! Nominate early and often! Let your voice be heard! This community is, after all, a democratic one where the Kerths are concerned.


Life isn't a support system for writing. It's the other way around.

- Stephen King, from On Writing
