Voting Judges and Prizes




Public Voting   
A public vote will take place on the “A Love Like Fire” fanfiction.net profile 
from May 16th – May 23th. A 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner will be decided based off this vote.

Judges Voting

Once the entries have been validated and posted they will be judged by our lovely panel of judges: 
   
Judges will rate each of these categories between 1-5 based on how much they enjoy each aspect of the story. In the end, the totals of each story will be added up and the 1st 2nd and 3rd place winners will be derived from the overall points they receive.

Each story will be evaluated on:
Use of Theme
Originality
Writing Quality
Overall Angst Factor

Validating Entries
   
All stories will undergo a basic validation read-through to make sure all of the criteria and rules have been followed. If your story does not meet the criteria, it will be sent back to you with a note as to why it was rejected. Feel free to re-submit once the changes have been made.



Once the stories are validated, they will be added to the“A Love Like Fire” C2 Community 
(links will also be included on the site under the “Archive” tab).

     
*Note: Please give us 72 hours to reply back to your email. If you have not heard back from us after that time, please contact us immediately to make sure we received your entry.
