I am sure that this information must be somewhere, but I have checked
the FAQ and looked all around but can't find it.

Is there a limit to the number of nominations I can make for each
category? Say there are two stories that I think might fit the same
category, is it all right to nominate both?

Thanks!

There was no limit last year, and given that between us, Marta and I
must've nominated about 200 stories already (not kidding!), I think
it's safe to say that no one is concerned about how many stories you
nominate for any given category or combination of categories. Look at
it this way: you just provide a field of competition ready-made!

There is no limit to how many stories you can nominate at all. :-)

Thanks! I had seen that you two had nominated a lot of stories, and
actually was looking at them to see if they were all different
catagories, or if some duplicated, but with all of the main
categories and subcategories I got lost, and said to myself "Just
ask!" You both have some great choices btw!

Thank you, Ainae! I am off to expand my list then : )

Gosh, I hope the same's true now! ;-) Otherwise, I have a lot of
un-nominating to do.

Seriously, every story I nominate is deserving, believe it or not.
There's a lot of good stuff out there.

[EDIT: I see that Ainae's clarified - no limit on how many nominations. Phew.]

Yes, I've been very relieved to see someone else's name pop up as the
nominator's name beside my own. And I check the list every time before
I sit down to enter more nominations, so I *know* that I'm not
duplicating.

Yes, I agree with Dwim. I have to admit feeling a bit like a kid in a
candy store, only it's like I'm showing a friend all the best sweets
to taste. But there's still that feeling of lots of good things to
try. (I've already discovered two stories I like that I hadn't read
before.)

So go forth and nominate, to all the four corners of the fandom...
