My approach would be as follows:

You're allowed 11, including your collaboration, correct?

Look at where you are if you accept at least one nomination for each story.

That leaves you with the following:

3 author noms
1 collaboration
4 story noms - Rainbows, Sentinel Affair, WW, Child of God

TOTAL: 8

You're allowed three more. So in the case of three out of the five stories you are up for, you can accept two nominations, rather than one.

It's brutal, but it works! Does that help?

Helps a lot, thanks!

Do we only get to keep one category for A&O? I must admit I'm more than a little confused by it all.

What do you mean by A&O?

Basically, you are allowed a total of ten nominations across the entire ballot. This includes slash nominations, gen nominations and author nominations.

Collaborations are counted separately, since there is more than one author involved. They are additional to your maximum of ten.

Clear... as mud? ;-)

Urm... (o:

Alpha and Omega is up in 5 categories, but I think we're allowed to pare that down to three because it's a collab. I *think* because it's a collaboration, it counts separately from my own 10, but maybe I should email The Committee (does Normal Collier impression) and ask, to be sure, because I'm getting incredibly confused.

Ah, right! Gotcha. Yep, ignore that one for now, and here's my advice tre: your own non-collab nominations.

3 author noms - accept these :-)
4 story noms - accept one nomination each for Rainbows, Sentinel Affair, WW, Child of God

You are allowed 3 more to make it up to your max of ten. Accept one additional nomination each for Rainbows, Sentinel Affair, WW, Child of God

TOTAL = 10

Re: Collaboration = yes, check with the committee! I suspect you will be able to accept nominations in 3 out of the 5 categories for it, but I am not certain.

Argh and that wasn't clear either:

You are allowed 3 more to make it up to your max of ten. Accept one additional nomination each for Rainbows, Sentinel Affair, WW, Child of God

What I mean is, decide which THREE out of these four stories to accept an additional (second) nomination for. ARGH! I am trying to help, but I keep making an arse of it :-(

Giggle. See, even the experienced can get confused. (o:

I got what you meant, hon! It's just all so... strange! ::still giggling in plain disbelief::

Thanks hon. It's all terribly complicated when you've only had one coffee (o:

As you can see, I'm unaccustomed to this awards thing; you have so much more experience than me (and rightly so) (o:

Hope you're feeling OK this morning. I like the rune, btw. That's Fehu, isn't it? I hope it works for you, honey. xxx

Yep, Fehu is my rune of the week :-)

If you need any more advice, just shout. I'll be happy to help - if I can!

I'm kind of okay today. The boys went back to school, but I'm still waiting for the hammer blow. I'm thinking that, the way the universe tends to work for me (it likes playing practical jokes), I will probably hear something bad today, since I had my quota of good news this AM. The universe don't like me getting too happy about stuff... :-(

Then the universe is an arse.
