September 2013's *Category* Nominations.
The September 2013 category selection will be similar to the other category selections we have done so far for 2013. We'll have one poll after all nominations are in; there will be no run-off poll except in case of a tie. If a second poll also results in a tie, I'll cast my vote as the tie-breaker.
* This thread will be open for 5 days or 30 fully seconded and thirded nominations, whichever comes first. * The poll will be up for 4 days. * Three votes or nominations per member. The story thus far: Quote:

Until now you've done nothing wrong.
It's a two-phase voting system. In the first phase you can nominate up to three categories or support the nominations of other members. The second phase is the "real" voting. You can choose as many categories as you like from the categories that got three votes in the first phase. |

So that's a second for short stories. And one more makes three. Nominate banned or challenged books. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...79#post2426979 |
