Categories of Nomination
When I decided to redo FM and make it into the Phoenix Awards, I knew I had too many categories. I cut two categories I did not want, like or need - Best Character Portrayal and Best Miscellaneous - and decided to stick with the seven categories left. I also decided to lower the amount of nominees per category to twelve maximum, three minimum. Each category has its own characteristics, definitions, rules and judge. If you wish to judge a story, you can apply here. The following categories are:
- BEST ALTERNATE UNIVERSE
judged by: ??
This category is for the best storylines that feature characters within the Camp Half-Blood series, but do not actually take place or have alternate events within the Camp Half-Blood storyline. For example, Bianca di Angelo does not die in the Junkyard of the Gods, or Percy Jackson is transported to a world that is ruled by the Norse gods.
- BEST ANGST
judged by: ??
Angst is basically when life begins to suck for a character. Say, Percy loses his job AND Annabeth dies in a car crash, or Reyna's reflections on being the lone survivor of Romans from Camp Jupiter when the apocalypse happened. It can be a variety of things, but angst doesn't necessarily mean the story always has an unhappy ending. - BEST CHALLENGE RESPONSE
judged by: ??
There are always writing challenges somewhere in the Percy Jackson fandom. Whether it be for a Phoenix prompt, a writing contest, or a competition on a forum, stories that are written for writing challenges qualify for this category. Stories nominated for this category must specify what challenge they are writing for somewhere in the story. - BEST HUMOR
judged by: ??
Best Humor is for, well, a story with the best humor in it. It's pretty self-explanatory. - BEST ONESHOT
judged by: Rachel
This category is for the best short-stories, popularly known as "oneshots". Nominations for this category must be complete and containing only one chapter.
- BEST ORIGINAL CHARACTER
judged by: ??
This category is for the best storyline that predominately features a character that is not an official part of the Camp Half-Blood series. You'll know them when you see them. Stories nominated for this category should have a main non-canon character. - BEST ROMANCE
judged by: ??
This is also self-explanatory. Best Romance goes to the story with the best romance-oriented plotline.
