This is a list of the categories, but please do not apply here. Any applications posted in this chapter will be ignored.

Best Cover

- 12 slots

- No templates allowed

- Cover must have been made by you, not a shop, template, or other person

Best Blurb

- 12 slots

- Grammar/spelling will be judged more strictly here than in other categories

- If you have many spelling/grammar errors, you will be at a major disadvantage

- Remember I allow you to make grammar/spelling changes without needing to tell me, so if you submit to this category, feel free to tweak the grammar before or after you submit

Best Presentation

- 10 slots

- Judges your cover, blurb, title, and any aesthetics (like banners) you have inside the story

- It's okay if your aesthetics are made by another person or are templates, but the title, cover, and blurb must have been made by you. This is about overall presentation of your story, so most of it must be done by you.

Best Title

- 12 slots

Best Grammar/Spelling

- 10 slots

- Grammar/spelling will be judged the strictest in this category... obviously

Best Worldbuilding

- 10 slots

- This category is probably best for fantasy/sci fi and horror writers, though if you have a detailed world the characters interact with, it doesn't matter what genre and I'd suggest submitting since you'll be at an advantage

Best Trope

- 10 slots

- Intended for stories centered around tropes (i.e., enemies to lover, CEO stories, the chosen one, fake dating, etc.)

- This category will judge how well you incorporate tropes into your story

- Genre doesn't matter as long as the story has a trope as a big part of it

Best Chemistry

- 10 slots

- Any book with a romantic pairing can submit to this category, and I will judge the chemistry between the two leads

Best Potential

- 10 slots

- Intended for ongoing stories, but ongoing stories can be submitted anywhere, not just here

- Good for new stories that are looking to get a boost in reads

- No completed stories allowed here

- I will be judging you based on how much potential your ongoing story has

- To prevent the risk of ongoing stories being completed after submission, I will be judging this category first

Best Dialogue

- 10 slots

- Grammar/spelling will be judged more strictly here than other categories

- Intended for authors who do dialogue tags correctly and have smooth dialogue that flows well

- I would suggest not submitting to this category unless you do tags correctly, otherwise you will be at a major disadvantage

Best Duo

- 10 slots

- Intended for stories that have a duo as the main characters. Could be romantic or platonic. I.e., if you're a K-pop fanfic writer, maybe it's a Vmin story.

Best Plot

- 10 slots

- Pacing will be judged more strictly here than in other categories.

Best Ending

- 10 slots

- Completed stories only

- You can submit completed stories anywhere, not just here, but this is a completed-only category

Best Writing Style

- 10 slots

- If you write purple prose, I would strongly suggest not applying to this category, otherwise you will be at a major disadvantage

Best Characters

- 10 slots

- I will judge how all the characters are written, not just the protagonist and antagonist. This is a general look at how good you are at character writing

- Dialogue will be judged stricter here
