Here are the current nominees.  I shall repost the revised nominations
sometime around November.

Let me tell you, to get nominated is tough!  To be nominated, the fanfic
had to have an OVERALL score of "9" or above.  If your fic's not here,
don't be discouraged.  It's easy to get an OVERALL of "8" but very hard to
get a "9."

Of course, this is not the final list.  I will add more until some date on
November.  

As you can see, most are Ranma fics...  :(   

You're probably wondering, "where's TIL?  Where's Seasons?  Where's DNR? 
Where's KOC?"  ect ect.  Well maybe because I haven't read the whole or
most of the series yet! If not this year, maybe next year!

If you think a fic should be nominated that is not on the list, (not your
own, someone elses) e-mail me with a very good essay or something that is
more than  on why it should be nominated.  Use good rhetor to convince me. 
(Don't do stuff like, "Put Personalites on the list, cuz I told you to." 
That's stupid, I would laugh out loud at that message and delete it.)  Oh,
you can't nominate any of my stories.  (not that I should worry )

The winner will be determined by votes. When I finish my final list, that
is; so don't vote yet.


here they are,

SHAMPOO 1/2: CAT'S CRADLE
by Benares
	Story about Shampoo and Yowza.  Yowza is one of the best new characters I
have ever seen created.  Shampoo's story of a perspective from a cat.  One
of the more orginal fanfics I have ever read in my life.  Very good
storytelling by Benares, as always.


RANMA 1/2 TWO SIDES OF THE COIN PT 1-2
by Benares
	The famous "unfinished fanfic."  Like Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony,"
this is a masterpiece by itself.  Story about two Ranma spliting up, one
male and one female.  They are exactly the same.


PUTTING YOUR HEART IN THE RIGHT PLACE
by John Biles
	The legendary fanfic of John Biles.  Series of eposides that I consider
the best orginal flavor Ranma fanfic.


FURINKAN SUMMER PART 2 
by John Biles
	This should have been part of Part three. This actually leads into part
three of Furinkan summer, but it serves its purpose well.	


FURINKAN SUMMER PART 3
by John Biles
	Mr. Kuno decides to have a prom, American style.  Great storytelling and
everything else by John Biles.
	

ELSEWORLDS PT 1:  FOR A WANT OF A NAIL
by John Biles
	Starts off the famous Elseworlds fanfic series.  What if Ranma chose Ukyo
instead of Okonomiyaki?  Of course, everybody knows the answer to that
since everyone should have read this fanfic.


ELSEWORLDS PT 2:  LOVERS NO MORE
by John Biles
	My somewhat similar Personalities stories pale, no sucks real bad compared
to this one.  This is a great fanfic on the battle for Tofu's love between
Kasumi and Shampoo.
	

QUENTIN TARANTINO'S RANMA 1/2
by Stefan Gagne
	I don't know why this is up there.  But I loved Pulp Fiction and this was
an excellent crossover for it.


ELSEWORLDS PT 4: LOOKING DOWN THE BARREL OF A GLOMP
by Stefan Gagne
	Stephan Gagne intorduces us to Kaneda, another great new character.  The
same old great Elseworlds stuff.


RANMA 1/2:  WICKED GARDEN
by Stefan Gagne
	I hated Kodachi, now she is one of my favorite character because of this
piece.  It made me appreciate Kodachi a little more.    Beautiful story by
Stefan Gagne.  A great twisted fic.


THE UNTOLD STORIES OF KIMAGURE ORANGE ROAD: SUMMER CRUISE.
by Daniel C. Harrison
	The least read of all fanfics, but certainly one of the greatest.  The
story style is told with uncanny  similarites with Matsumoto Izumi, with
Daniel's own style.


HEART OF THE HOME
By Richard Lawson
	The master author Lawson, his first and the best fanfic ever, in my
opinion.  Story about Kasumi, the savior of the home.
	

THE UY CONNECTION
by Karl Rim
	Very very very good crossover between Ranma 1/2 characters and the Urusei
Yatsura gang pitted in a volleyball match.

HOLD ON
by Jeff Rutsch
	Another story about Kasumi, this time it's the Kasumi we all are familiar
with,  wounderful story.

THE CRYS SAGA  
by Chris Schumacher
	The most famous of all author in his fanfic.  The saga of Crys, an
unsually strong otaku trapped inside the Ranma 1/2 universe.  


HEMISPHERES 
by Chris Schumacher
	Almost the same story as Benares' "Two Sides of a Coin."  This time there
are three Ranmas seperated:  one female, one male, and one evil.


NuRanma
by Chris Schumacher
	New Ranma vain written in the same style as the "Crys Saga."  But the
story is not same, this is another one of those Ranma wrap up fics.  
Chris's humor and storytelling brought life of what could have been a very
boring series.
