Well, all the so-far-suggested categories, besides those that were nixed
from the start, are in the polls. Democracy will reign. I meant to hide
the results until the polls closed but since I forgot on the first one, I
left them all visible.

Last call for any new category suggestions. Otherwise, we'll run with these
and think up the three award titles for the new categories the polls give
us.

And then we'll be done with the Post Mortem! And we can all take a break
and read, read, read. If you find a great story, be sure to note it down
for nomination!

I think this pretty much covers it for me. It might be useful to have
an "Other Races" category for pieces centering on the less commonly
portrayed races - Ents, all the different animals, Ainur, etc. - but I
don't know that it's really critical.

Sounds like a plan. Well done, Ainae, for getting us this far.

You two. Relax...

Just a quick question - how will the nomination form change? Will it
be the same, minus the categories and subcategories spaces? I only ask
because I like to prepare my nominations as I read.

I had thought of that. There's the option of Heroes, to be like Villians.
We can almost guarantee that Men, Elves, and Hobbits would graduate to their
own categories. But Dwarves may not.

Shall we put this up as a poll? It would negate the present poll on
Dwarves right now.

I'll try to get one together today while I'm bored at work and
procrastinating writing. ;-)
