neilhoskins77 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Afternoon FMS'ers. Firstly, a big apology that this is considerably later than usual. Amongst the reasons is that I absolutely under-estimated how much work goes into doing the background and preparation work for these Annual Awards. Huge thanks to Mister Mark Wilson27, who took the time to walk me through the process, and answer my questions as well. The deadline for votes is 23:59pm on December 31st. Historically, the amount of ballots cast for the HoF has been low over recent years, so the process is being condensed into one round this time. As a result, you can ignore/disregard/amend some of these bullet points........ Eventually, all the stories will include links to the historical thread of the story, but that will take some time to do, so bear with me folks. As always, don't forget to claim your votes after you have emailed your selections to awardsfms@gmail.com Hall of Fame Nomination Criteria a) Only completed stories can be considered for entry to the Hall of Fame. b) Only stories which have won an award in any year, can be considered for entry to the Hall of Fame. c) A story must receive 20% of the vote in the preliminary round ballot to be considered. d) To be elected to the Hall of Fame a story must receive a two thirds majority of the total number of people who voted e) A person cannot nominate or vote for their own stories for the Hall of Fame. f) A person can only nominate UP TO THREE stories to the HoF at the first round ballot stage in any given year. Furthermore, a person may only vote for up to three stories that have reached the second round ballot. A person may also vote a maximum of up to three writers at the first round ballot stage, and again up to three from those who reach the second round ballot. (You may, of course, nominate/vote for less than three.) g) Only two stories per year can be elected to Hall of Fame. There is no limit on the number of years in which a story can be nominated for Hall of Fame election. Writers Hall of Fame Criteria h) The same criteria apply for the nomination of writers save for one variation at (b). To be nominated for Hall of Fame election, a writer must have won either Writer of the Year / Terk/Raptor/Wilson Builder's (FMSer of the Year) or Funniest Writer of the Year in a previous awards year The following five writers are ineligible as they are already in the Hall Of Fame Peacemaker07 (2008) Raptor (2009) flipsix3 (2010) tenthreeleader (2011) mark wilson27 (2021) The only story ineligible is Leaving the Past Behind (flipsix3) (2010) Writers Hall of Fame (Members eligible) Amaroq Bigmattb28 BobBev Brian of Nazareth CFuller copperhorse21 EvilDave Faramir gavrenwick HD John1982 Mandy42 Simon F Spav Terk Story Hall of Fame (Stories eligible) http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/12456-Sharpening-a-Rusty-Blade Sharpening a Rusty Blade (Amaroq) http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=186098 Down and Out in South Africa (FMS World Cup - Signup) (Celtic_1967) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8Je2gzsasnyNVF4dXV1am91N1U/view Another Night In Istanbul (CFuller) http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/392989-Welcome-to-Romford Welcome to Romford (CFuller) https://community.sigames.com/topic/361453-house-of-flying-daggers/ House of Flying Daggers (CFuller) https://community.sigames.com/topic/374277-jeux-sans-frontières/ Jeux Sans Frontieres (CFuller) https://community.sigames.com/topic/432746-heart-of-asia-going-back-to-the-2002-world-cup/ Heart of Asia: Going Back to the 2002 World Cup (CFuller) https://community.sigames.com/topic/403394-an-impossible-man/ An Impossible Man (CFuller) http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=37792 Employee of the Month (chesterfan2) http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/202938-Cheating-the-Reaper-A-Copper-Horse-quot-Tail-quot Cheating the Reaper: A Copper Horse "Tail" (copperhorse21) http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/31725-An-American-Pilgrimage-(vbulletin-edition) An American Pilgrimage (vbulletin edition) "Book One of The Copper Horse Tails" (copperhorse21) http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/73138-A-Spartan-Existence A Spartan Existence "Book Two of the Copper Horse Tails" (copperhorse21) http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/134686-Inheritance Inheritance (copperhorse21) http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/180118-Rising-from-the-Ashes-A-Copper-Horse-Short-Story Rising from the Ashes: A Copper Horse Short Story (copperhorse21) https://community.sigames.com/topic/369467-a-northeastern-lad/ A Northeastern Lad (copperhorse21) https://community.sigames.com/topic/102-dont-look-bac-in-anger/ Don't Look Bac in Anger...
