Hello humans!

I'm just gonna try and make this short and sweet, but considering I like typing a novel, this could take a while.

I'm planning on not doing the 2016 Spring Contest or the 2016 Summer Contest. I really hate to do this, but the Undertale Awards aren't popular enough to start holding contests just yet. I was planning on having a 2016 Spring Contest and so forth, but I can't really do that when I've only had one submission in about 2-3 months. I don't even know if I can hold a 2016 Summer Contest or a 2016 Fall Contest. It all just depends on where this goes.

I WILL keep submissions open for all contests, but if I do not get enough submissions, then I cannot hold a contest. 

I'm just going to answer some questions that people may ask about all this.

Q: What if I've already submitted a book?

A: I PROMISE I will keep that book in the category it belongs in until an actual contest takes place. It may be a few months until your book will be able to be voted for, but you will be remembered and as soon as an actual contest takes place, you WILL be added into the voting round. You just have to be patient. Like I said, it could take a while.

Q: Can I still enter a book even if contests aren't going on?

A: Sure! Just submit the book to me like you would if an actual contest was going on and I will hold it in the category it belongs in until an actual contest rolls around. This will require some patience though, considering it could take a few months before an actual contest starts.

Q: What if a contest never takes place?

A: If a contest never takes place THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR, I will have no choice but to just delete this account and stop contests in general. Sorry, but it could come to that point. I'll give this account a total of two years.

Q: Can I do anything to help the contests get started faster?

A: I would REALLY appreciate it if everybody would start spreading the word about this account and all the contests, especially Undertale authors. I'll write a list below stating some of the things you could do that would REALLY help get the contests and this account running! I really hate to be needy, but like I said, this will REALLY help get everything on this account going a lot faster than it would without any help. If you do any of the things in the list below, please tag @UndertaleAwards (this account) on whatever you do. If your not entering a book, you can still find other ways to help, which would make me super happy! 

* Write a specific chapter in your book about the Undertale Awards explaining what it is, saying that you entered your book, and providing some information about checking out the guide book (this book).

* If you entering a book from another author, ask them to write a specific chapter in their book about the Undertale Awards explaining what it is, saying that they entered their book, and providing some information about checking out the guide book (this book).

* Post a message to your newsfeed on your profile stating that you entered your book into the Undertale Awards, along with giving some information out about it.

* Ask Undertale Authors is they would like to check out the Undertale Awards account and maybe even enter their book(s)!

* Share some information about the Undertale Awards on social media sites, like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

* Comment on Undertale Books asking if the author would like to enter their book into the Undertale Awards.

* Simply tell Undertale fans/Undertale friends about the Undertale Awards.

That's just some of the basic things you can do to spread the word about the Undertale Awards. If a lot of people do this, we could start up a contest in no time! Here's a little draft if you want to write something in your chapter, on your newsfeed, etc. if your not very good at explaining things. You can always write your own if you don't like my drafts! If you do use one of my drafts, all you really have to do is fill in the blanks that are in bold.

FORM FOR BOOK CHAPTER/NEWSFEED:

Hello humans! I, the Great (Username/Y/N) would like to invite you to check out (my book(s)/other author's book(s)) that (is/are) (entered/going to be entered) in the @UndertaleAwards! The Undertale Awards is an account based on giving out contests like the Watty Awards, but all about Undertale. You can enter contests and vote for your favorite books in separate categories. If you want to enter your own book or another author's, you can check out their book titled "Guidebook to the Undertale Watty Awards" on their account. (One of my book(s)/somebody else's book(s)) (should be/will be) located in one of the categories soon, so make sure that you check that out and vote for it when contests start up. 

I'm doing this so they can get their contests started up faster because they are not getting enough submissions to start an actual contest right now. It would really help if you all can spread the word by mentioning the Undertale Awards in your own Undertale books or just simply around your newsfeed or other Undertale books. It would really help!

Please help spread the word about the Undertale Awards!

FORM FOR COMMENTING ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S BOOK: 

Hello (Author's Name)! I really like this book and I was wondering if you could take the time to check out the @UndertaleAwards. They are having contests where you can enter your books into the contests and vote for other books, along with your own. They don't have many submissions so far, so I think you should enter your book into one of their contests. You can read their book "Guidebook to the Undertale Watty Awards" on their profile to learn about their contests and when they take place. Your book is just so fabulous and I REALLY think you should enter it into the (Certain Category) category! 

FORM FOR SHARING ON OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA:

Hello humans! If any of you are Undertale fans, I think you all should check out the Undertale Awards on Wattpad. They hold contests where Undertale author's can enter books and where Undertale fan's can vote for their favorite books. I'm doing this because they don't have enough submissions to get contests up and going, so they would really appreciate it if you simply spread the word about the Undertale Awards on WATTPAD. If you visit their account, check out their book "Guidebook to the Undertale Watty Awards" to learn more about their contests! Check out their account on Wattpad @UndertaleAwards. 

Tell me if you do any of these things! Thank you all so much if you help spread the word about the Undertale Awards! It really would make me happy! 

Goodbye for now lovelies!
