Good suggestion Zain! And I love your spirit^ That's the way to be. There will be more awards, more opportunities for other stories to shine so don't let it bring you down.

The thing about categories really depended on the stories and options that were nominated. A lot of times there were 3-5 nominees from the same story, so we were left with no choice.

When we shortlisted we didn't have a set number for the final nominees. We deliberated and the ones that fit the bill and the ones we took into serious consideration were put on the shortlist. Maybe we will have to do that with the shortlist, add a rule that each category needs four total. But then if there are 3-5 nominees from the users from the same story, they will get 2 nominations for that category if we feel it's necessary. It's hard to really limit that, when it's up to the voters themselves.

Thank you for your input & great sportsmanship though
