I’m still judging Best Poetry Collection and have basically finished judging Most Traumatic Arc, so those category results should be coming soon. They are both currently scheduled to be announced on November 22nd, but I may post the results sooner if I have time to finish them earlier than expected. 
          	
          	Slots remain in the following categories:
          	
          	Fanfiction (4 slots left)
          	
          	Best LGBTQ Rep (8 slots left, please spread the word to anyone you know who writes stories with LGBTQ characters. They can enter LGBTQ stories into any open category, but since a lot of the categories have now closed, this is another chance for their stories to shine!) 
          	
          	Most Diverse Cast (5 slots left)
          	
          	Best Villain (4 slots left)
          	
          	Best Redemption Arc (5 slots left)
          	
          	Best Family Bond (only 1 slot left)

I decided to add three more fandoms that I will accept fanfiction entries from. You may now also submit fics for: K-Pop Demon Hunters, Jurassic Park/World/Camp Cretaceous, and Supernatural. (I actually meant to include Supernatural to begin with. I can’t believe I left it off the original list!) 
          
          And, as a reminder, I will accept fics about: The Vampire Diaries/The Originals/Legacies, Wednesday, the MCU, The Conjuring Universe, Disney, Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus/Trials of Apollo/Magnus Chase/The Kane Chronicles, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, Bleach, Death Note, Ouran High School Host Club, Harley Quinn, The Sandman, Dead Boy Detectives, and The Mortal Instruments/Shadowhunters.

@dingyyypp Sorry, but each book can only be submitted into one category. You are welcome to submit different books into different categories.

There are still slots open! I’m especially seeking entries for fanfiction (check the list of fandoms first), Best LGBTQ Representation, Most Diverse Cast, and Best Redemption Arc. Those categories all have five or less entries. A couple of the other categories are still open, too.

Best Short Story is now full. It is closed along with poetry, best protagonist, best traumatic arc, and best ensemble.
          
          These categories are still open:
          
          Best LGBTQ Rep (8 slots available)
          
          Best Fanfic (7 slots available)
          
          Best Redemption Arc (7 slots available, and to properly judge this one I will read as many chapters as necessary to see the arc instead of just promising to read the first five)
          
          Most Diverse Cast (5 slots available)
          
          Best Villain (4 slots left)
          
          Best Family Bond (3 slots available)

I decided to expand the best poetry category to allow all entries that came in overnight. This is the only category that will be expanded beyond ten entries, purely because poetry is shorter and so many people submitted entries in such a short amount of time. The poetry category is now closed at 13 entries. No more will be accepted.
          
          Best Traumatic Arc, Best Protagonist, and Best Ensemble are also now closed. I’ll be posting a list of accepted entries soon. It will be updates as more categories fill up. 
          
          There are still plenty of slots left in the other categories.

@TheStarfishGirl  That’s so kind and noble of you, and I love the way you make sure everyone has a fair chance.

@selena20598 I feel like poetry often gets overlooked here, so I decided not to turn anyone who already submitted away.

Slots are filling up fast! Thanks to everyone who has joined so far. Overnight, Best Protagonist and Best Traumatic Arc reached the maximum number of entries. No more entries will be accepted for those two categories. 
          
          There is only one slot left in Poetry and there are two slots left in Best Ensemble, so if you want to enter either of those categories, now would be the time. 
          
          All other categories still have a lot of room. The Short Story category is halfway full. 
          
          Once each category closes, it will be scheduled for judging, so Best Protagonist and Best Traumatic Arc will be the first two categories judged.
