CATEGORIES

This part can be confusing, but here we go!
Examples for regular participants and VVIPs will be shown at the bottom!
Consider main and sub categories different from each other. The rules apply separately, same for VVIPs.

—

- MAIN CATEGORIES -
You can join as many main categories as you want, but only two entries per category! Entries cannot repeat, meaning you cannot place the same entry in more than one category. Each main category has 15 slots!
- VVIP can place max three entries per main category!
- VVIP can repeat entries per category (only once)!
- Examples will be shown at the bottom!

If your story has more than one theme of the following, please place it in the one that is the strongest/main. Remember, the main categories prizes are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place + Most Liked! Some Honorable Mentions will be included as the stories the host enjoyed the most out of the eliminated section, but they're not part of any prize.

LGBTQ/Ship stories can go in any category! However, you must place them in the theme where it belongs the most!

- Best Romance Fanfiction
- Best Mystery/Thriller Fanfiction
- Best Angst Fanfiction
- Best Fantasy Fanfiction
- Best Historical Fanfiction
- Best Comedy Fanfiction
- Best Horror Fanfiction
- Best Sci-Fi Fanfiction
- Best Adventure/Action Fanfiction

Separate, but also main categories.

- Best Short Story Fanfiction
- Best One Shot Fanfiction
- Best Completed Fanfiction

- SUB CATEGORIES -
You can join as many categories as you want, but only one entry per category. Entries cannot repeat, meaning you cannot place the same entry in more than one category. Each sub category has 10 slots!
- VVIP can place max two entries per sub category!
- VVIP can repeat entries per category (only once)!
- Examples will be shown at the bottom!

Remember, the main categories prizes are Best Fanfic of each (just one winner per category)! Some Honorable Mentions will be included as the stories the host enjoyed the most out of the eliminated section, but they're not part of any prize.

- Best Prologue
- Best Epilogue
- Best Blurb
- Best Protagonist
- Best Antagonist
- Best Cover
- Best Title

- GRAND WINNERS -
How do you win the Grand Prize? Here's how.
- All the categories will start judging at different times, of course, depending on how full they get. However, once all of the categories have been judged, (main + sub), the host (who will have read all your books) will decide upon which book/writer will win the Grand Prize out of all!

- I know the wait will be a lot for those who want to leave, but please stay even if your category has finished, mainly if you got a high score! You don't have to check the book if your category is already done, because if you win an overall prize, I'll personally tag you to inform you. Just make sure to still keep the book in your list!

Grand Winner (you cannot sign up for these)
- Outstanding Book Award
- Outstanding Writer Award

Now, let me explain the categories using my books as example!

- FOR REGULAR PARTICIPANTS -
My story Money Means Nothing (go check it out 🤡) is a Park Jimin fanfic. I'd place it in the main category (romance) and if I want to place it in a sub category, I'd place it in the sub category (best prologue).

It's a Park Jimin fanfic (romance) and I would like to also be judged for (best prologue). That's how you can join multiple categories per entry!

Now if you want to join with 2 entries in the main categories. For example, I placed MMN and I want to place my other book King of Hearts (go check it out 🤡) it's a Kim Hongjoong fanfiction (romance alongside MMN) and I would like to also be judged for (best protagonist). [since you cannot have more than one entry per sub category!]

This way, I joined the main category (romance) with 2 entries (MMN + KOH), but the sub categories are 1 entry each (prologue + protagonist) and they don't overlap. If this is still confusing, please ask any questions ahead!

You cannot place the same entry in 2 different main categories! [For example, I can't place MMN in romance + mystery/thriller, only one main category per entry! Two entries total in one category!]

Only one entry per sub category. [For example, I can't place MMN + KOH in the same sub category. I can put one in each!]

- FOR VVIP PARTICIPANTS -
Remember, the category perks of being VVIP are:
1. You get to place max three entries per main category and two per sub category.
- I would place my story MMN + KOH + my other fanfic My Professor Jeon, a JJK (BTS) fanfic, in the romance category. [Three in main]
- I would place my story MMN + KOH both in best prologue. [Two in sub]

2. You can repeat your entries per category.
- I would place MMN in the romance category and the mystery category.
- I would place MMN in the best prologue and best blurb category.
