The Isis Awards Team would like to sincerely apologize for yet another delay in getting to the voting stage of this year's awards. We've been so busy dealing with ill-timed personal issues that we completely forgot to send out notifications to the nominees before voting began. Once we realized our mistake, we shut down the voting and are currently attempting to rectify this oversight.
We would just like to make it clear that we don't assume for a second that everyone wants to participate in these awards, and we completely understand if you don't wish your fics to be nominated. Also, we know that many nominees would like the chance to vote for their own works and/or pass the word onto their friends that they have been nominated, and that this is difficult to do when they don't know their fics are in the running here. It really was just a simple oversight, and one that we will be careful not to repeat.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience, and once the nominees have all been notified, the voting stage will begin. Thank you for your patience.
The Isis Awards Team
As many of you are aware, the Isis Awards were created to showcase those ships in Stargate fandom that don't get quite as much attention as others on the various fanfiction archives and in fandom-wide awards. We wanted everyone to feel like their pairing was getting noticed, no matter how obscure, and judging by the response these awards have had over the past three years, we believe this mission has been a success. So, let's do it again!
This year, the site is bigger and better than ever, and our awards team is psyched and ready to go. We're hoping that this year things will go a lot more smoothly, and that this will be the best year for Isis yet!
As usual, the only ships that will not be included in these awards are Sam/Jack and John/Elizabeth. All other het ships are welcome, provided that the nominated stories abide by our few simple rules. So, go hunt down your favourite fanfics from your chosen ships, and let's get this show on the road! :)
