I feel if it is appropriate for the category, it should be allowed as long as it has not previously won.
I think we need to have a vote on this.

I think the rule came in at the end of 2011 for the year 2012. I don't know if the rule was discussed coming up to 2013. Is it too late to have a rule change for this year?
However, what you're talking about is exactly why the rule was put into place - to stop someone nominating the same book over and over again - which it sounded like you very much intended to do with
Startdust a few posts back.
I wouldn't support or oppose the current rule or a change to it personally. I don't have enough feelings about it either way. I understand the rule, but wonder at the need to legislate on this in particular.
And I guess that's the sum total of my thoughts on it.
