When Judging starts the nominations will go through the outlined process as each nomination moves through the results will be given as well as the preliminary scores. 

Feedback will also be included - Every author feels that the stories they write are living creations - even if they only live in their imagination.  The characters become their children and they sometimes feel very strongly when people might say things that seem negative about them.   Please understand - the feedback that will be provided is to help you become better a better author.  

Feedback will be constructive

Feedback will never be thoughtlessly negative - if the feedback is negative the reason will be clearly stated and well thought out. 

Every nomination will be given a fair and honest evaluation
