Welcome to Round Three of TSAs!

Welcome to Round Three of the The Slash Awards! The categories are listed below, some returning favorites as well as some new ones!

Nominations will be accepted from April 23, 2011 to May 14th, 2011. Voting will be May 15 and run through May 29th. Winners will be announced June 1st.


A few reminders:

If the category you are nominating in is specific (ie Best Blow Job), please include the chapter you are nominating.

A story that has won the category in Round 1 or 2 is not eligible for that category for Round 3, they are eligible for other categories, including new ones, however. Eligible stories are listed below the category.

All stories can be O/S or WIP for each category except for those specified for those specific stories.

If you are nominating a banner, please include a link to the banner so that we can post it for voting.

We have received a few het fics in the nominations, remember this is for SLASH (same sex pairings) only, all catagories, unless otherwise specified are M/M only.

A story can be nominated more than once and you can nominated more than one per category.

All nominations, except one shots and completed categories, MUST have been updated within the last three months.

You do not have to nominate something in every category.

The top seven (7) will move on to an public open voting round.

I am going to try to make nominating a little easier this round, and will hopefully be posting a link with a form before nominations are open.
