2008 Awards Vote Now! Thank you all for nominating and voting for your favorites. 2008 Winners have been announced and cross-posted on our BLOG. Congratulations to all the winners! What We're All About This is not your typical awards site. These awards are geared specifically toward the sub-genres of romance fiction that seem to get lumped together by the bigger award sites. You know what we're talking about -- speculative fiction -- science fiction, fantasy, paranormal and all the sub-categories. They aren't all considered the same here. We know they are very different. So instead, we have categories like "Best Werewolf Romance" and "Best Post-Apocalyptic Romance." You can even suggest new categories if you think we've missed one. Rules The stories MUST be romance in one of our listed sub-genres with a Happily Ever After (HEA) ending. Sweet or erotic is all right, but it must be romance at heart. To be eligible, books must have been published between 1/1/07 and 12/31/07 by a legitimate electronic or print publisher. (Self-published works are not eligible.) Nominations are open until 12/31/07 and anyone can nominate. (Yes, authors, you can nominate yourself, if you wish.) We will narrow down the list of nominations to a group of Finalists in each category and then voting will commence. Please read the category descriptions carefully.
