User blog:Vauseman/*IMPORTANT* UFSW Awards Nominations *IMPORTANT*

Hi, this is Bait.

If you read our previous blog, you'll know that this month we're holding an official UFSW Awards. If you need a refresher of the rules, please consult that blog.

In this blog, you will post your nominations for each category in the comments. You can nominate any story/character/scene you want--there is no limit on how many times you nominate a particular story. You also receive one self-nomination, meaning you can nominate your story in ONE category.

As a reminder, here are the categories.

Best Male Lead

Best Male Lead nominees consist of great male lead characters (not necessarily a protagonist).

Best Female Lead

Best Female Lead nominees consist of great female lead characters (not necessarily a protagonist).

Best Female Supporting

Best Female Supporting nominees consist of female characters that may not have been main but were still interesting and/or had a significant impact on the story.

Best Male Supporting

Best Male Supporting nominees consist of male characters that may not have been main but were still interesting and/or had a significant impact on the story.

Best Story Arc

Self-explanatory.

Best Character Arc

Best Character Arc nominees consist of characters that have had an interesting, well-crafted character arc and have developed significantly.

Best Antagonist

Self-explanatory.

Best Character Introduction

Best Character Introduction nominees consist of characters that had a memorable introduction in the story.

Best Zombie Attack Scene

Self-explanatory.

Best Action Scene

Self-explanatory.

Best Death

Best Death nominees consist of a death scene that may have been well-written, shocking, or, in general, left an impact on the reader.

Best Relationship

Best Relationship nominees don’t just consist of romantic couples (although they can). These nominations can also constitute things like a friendship, or a parental relationship--basically two characters whose relationship with each other has a profound effect on the story.

Best Title

Best Title nominees should consist of great issue/episode/chapter titles. These titles are unique while still describing the issue/episode/chapter well.

Best Cliffhanger

Best Cliffhanger nominees consist of specific scenes in a story that left you wanting more.

Best Story Name

Self-explanatory. Best Story Name nominees consist of stories with interesting and unique titles.

Best Universe

Best Universe nominees should consist of stories that have a well-developed world, meaning the author has expanded their story’s world beyond others. For example, a story that explains the origins of the zombie virus or explains what’s happening in other parts of the world would be expanding their universe.

Best Dialogue

Best Dialogue nominees consist of stories with great dialogue. Character speech isn’t clunky or awkward--the dialogue flows.

Best Character Name

Best Character name nominees consist of characters with unique and interesting names, or maybe even a name that describes the character or their role in the story.

Best Character Backstory

Best Character Backstory nominees should be characters that have interesting and/or unique backstories, or a backstory that has a profound effect on the story.

Best Improvement

Best Improvement nominees consist of writers whose skills have improved dramatically during their time at UFSW.

Best Ensemble

Best Ensemble nominees should consist of stories with a great cast of characters that interact well with each other and make the story, overall, more enjoyable.
