Here are the current nominees.  I shall repost the revised nominations
sometime around November.
Let me tell you, to get nominated is tough!  To be nominated, the fanfic
had to have an OVERALL score of "9" or above.  If your fic's not here,
don't be discouraged.  It's easy to get an OVERALL of "8" but very hard to
get a "9."
Didn't you once mention that you don't review BGC fics?  Any other series
you don't read, and won't be appearing because of that?
     That being said, he'll miss some of the most powerful fics around,
namely your True Love (I know, I lauded praise when it was written, but I
just read it again after having to re-get it from the remailer), and BGZone
starting in chapter 8.

Since this list is often identified as the "Ranma ML", how about 2
categories...  best Ranma fic and best other fic.  Winners to go against
each other as best overall fic.  Otherwise, there's little chance of a
non-Ranma fic even appearing under the weight of the Tendo-Saotome avalanche.
     But, since he ignores some categories, then his reviews won't ever
include such stories, no matter how good they are. Woe is the life of a non-
Ranma FF author (though, I do have a Ranma idea floating around....)

Don't worry, though, it'll be a while before I write it.

Finally, on a side note, could someone send me all parts to the "Death of
Ukyou trilogy" and, <gulp> all parts of Ranko 1/2? Damn Win95 even asked me
if I wanted to delete my "Anime" folder, and I said yes. By the time I had
canceled it, I lost all that (and more, but I could recover that!)
