You may want to consider, for future awards, to have subcategories for stories.

For example:
- Best humorous story
- Best horror/supernatural story
- Best original character
- Best alternate universe

This offers ways to recognize stories that, while they aren´t the best overall, still shine in one particular way.

I will be doing so next year. I figured get the basics going and see how popular this thing is (I think that question's been answered).

I'm not going to vote for my own stuff.  I know, that breaks with tradition, but there you go.

I think I'll add Best Non-Battletech story to that list of future categories.

That opens up things an awful lot. Maybe "Best non-BT story by an otherwise-already-nominated author"?

I think hard nominate something that old, since not everyone was reading it.

Well I can see why nobody nominated me. Would've been a landslid and embarassing to the other writers. Quite right, we can take my perfection as read.
